PREVALENCE

Nine in 10 canadians have at least one risk factor for heart conditions, stroke or vascular cognitive impairment.
One person dies in canada every five minutes from heart conditions, stroke or vascular cognitive impairment.


HOSPITALIZATIONS

More than one in 10 hospitalizations in canada are for heart conditions, stroke and vascular cognitive impairment.

Of all people admitted to hospital with a heart condition, stroke or vascular cognitive impairment (1,515,256 people), 40% (or two out of five people – 620,143 people) were readmitted one or more times for a similar or new event.


THE IMPACT OF COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT


People with vascular cognitive impairment have up to a 68% increased risk of fatal stroke.

Congenital heart disease may triple the risk of early onset vascular cognitive impairment (under age 65) and increase the risk of late onset vascular cognitive impairment by 30%.
