The numbers are sobering: heart disease impacts 2.4 million Canadians.
Sean Vesak is an advance paramedic up in Edmonton who wants to tell people to be prepared.
“One of the great ways to be better prepared is to wear a MedicAlert ID and that’s going to help paramedics and health care providers be able to get information about you when you can’t talk for yourself,” he said.
Vesac said it’s also important to bring your medications with you and if possible have Aspirin within reach.
He also said staying healthy is a good way to keep your heart healthy, eat well, exercise and if you are a smoker, stop.
