She said two factors are responsible for this statistic â€" medical expertise to repair diseased hearts and a growâ€" ing public awareness of prevention of heart problems. People are watching their diets, choosing more fibre and lowâ€" cholesterol foods than ever before. They limit salt, alcohol and caffeine in their daily intake. Many have stopped smoking and have their blood pressure checked periodically. Besides learning to more effectively cope with stress, they are exercising to maintain a healthy body weight and to control cholesterol and blood pressure levâ€" els. Above all, they are recognizing the first signs of trouble and immeâ€" diately reach for help. They contact the emergency department of their local hospitals or dial 911 when they experience a sudden weakness, numbness or tingling of the face, arm or leg, even though these sigâ€" nals may be brtief. Or if they have sudden trouble speaking or underâ€" standing speech; or if there is a sudâ€" den loss of vision or double vision; or if they have a severe and unusual headache. These are the signals of a stroke which occurs when a blood vessel to the brain either bursts or becomes clogged with a blood clot. It stops the flow of blood bringing oxygen and nutrients to the brain. Despite all this knowledge and awareness, however, it‘s estimated that 75,000 Canadians die of heart disease and stroke each year, the Foundation said.
