Medical Matters: Diabetes linked cardiovascular disease (CVD).

In SA, CVD is responsible for almost one in six deaths, claiming more lives than that of all the various types of cancers combined. Every day, 225 South Africans die from heart disease and strokes and CVD is the second leading cause of mortality in the country. This evening on Medical Matters we talk about the multi-disciplinary collaboration and research to stem the tide of diabetes and diabetes-linked cardiovascular disease (CVD) and we’re joined by Prof Eric Klug, President of SA Heart Association.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
