Let’s all remember that the prevention and early detection of heart disease is key to a better quality of life. Cardiovascular disease continues to be a leading cause of morbidity

and mortality globally. It consists of a wide range of health conditions affecting the heart and vascular system. This includes, but is not limited to, coronary artery disease,

arrhythmia, heart failure and valvular disease. In Jamaica, the incidence of heart disease and its associated risk factors has been increasing, owing to unhealthy diet amongst other

factors. Statistically, cardiovascular related deaths are estimated to be 37% annually according to the RGD. Of this figure, the main etiology is coronary artery disease. Since

opening in 2018, Partners Heart and Health has remained a premier institution for the management of CVD and its risk factors. It boasts a state-of-the-art Cath lab equipped with

cutting edge technology like intravascular ultrasound. It offers a myriad of services including angiogram and angioplasty for those suffering from Ischemic heart disease,
