Heart failure is on the rise and the majority of Canadian hospitals aren’t prepared.
A new report from the Heart and Stroke Foundation said hospitals across Canada have postponed hundreds of thousands of surgeries, procedures and treatment consultations for heart patients.
With more than 100,000 people diagnosed a year, the foundation believes action needs to be taken — especially with a projected spike in heart failure cases due to cardiovascular complications brought on by COVID-19.
The director of St. Boniface Hospital Heart Failure and Transplant Clinics, Dr. Shelley Zieroth, told 680 CJOB that most Canadians are uniformed about the severity of the issue.
“Heart failure is all around us, and many people don’t recognize that,” she said. “Four in 10 Canadians don’t understand what heart failure is. One in three know someone with heart failure or have heart failure themselves.
“That really puts it all into context, and we have to really increase awareness and understanding of this chronic condition.”
The foundation’s report points to a number issues that put Canadians with heart failure at a disadvantage. A key issue stems from Canada’s medical systems.
“Health-care systems across the country are not set up in a patient-centred way. And unfortunately, access to care is not consistent and can vary from province to province and even within provinces,” said Dr. Sean Virani, an associate professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia, in a statement.
According to the report, treatment options for the condition are severely limited in Canada.

Oh no, just a coincidence, nothing to do with the clot shot....uh huh, that’s the ticket.
The Jab!
Get the COVID jab and have a heart attack ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK.....you oughta know by now
ITS THE VACCINE, NOT COVID, FFS.
It never was the covid, it is the vax. Thank you Governors.
They’re working hard to cover up the heart damage from the back scenes aren’t they?
This is the first time I’ve heard of a “projected spike” in cardiovascular problems due to Covid-19. Who projected it?
So shall lizzed med kare, provides for all an equal opportunity to obtain what there is, mediocrity at best.
“especially with a projected spike in heart failure cases due to cardiovascular complications brought on by COVID-19”
Sure, it was the China virus as opposed to the clot shot.
Not covid.
The vaxxes.
They are just blaming covid because if they admitted that it was the vax, the populace would really go apoplectic.
We may not be able to treat you, but at least it’s free.
Exactly!
This stood out to me. It looks like they still don't have the bugs worked out.
But they have free health care, eh?
Projections are the scientific lottery today. If you are accidentally right on a projection, you will get major funding. If you are wrong you just make another projection tomorrow.
