Additionally, Dr. Tang is a Staff Cardiologist at the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) and Scientific Director and CEO at the Cardiovascular Network of Canada (CANet).

As we celebrate Heart Month, Dr. Tang shares valuable insights into heart health, in particular, heart disease—a condition affecting approximately 1.3 million Canadians. Throughout this conversation Dr. Tang emphasizes the importance of improving patient care and their health outcomes, understanding effective treatment strategies, and creating innovative health solutions to support patients in managing their heart health.
Listeners are reminded that a proactive approach to managing risk factors through lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing cardiovascular conditions. By focusing on eating nutritious foods, smoking cessation, good sleep, regular exercise, and reducing alcohol intake, you can take control of your heart health and improve your overall well-being. These insights underscore the importance of such changes, especially during Heart Month, as a time to continue raising awareness and encouraging healthier choices.
