Perth Cardiovascular Institute

Some things raise your heart disease risk that you can't change: age, family history, genetics.

But five of the biggest ones? You can.
1. Blood pressure — know your numbers.
2. Cholesterol — have it checked.
3. Smoking — every day without it helps.
4. Physical activity — 30 minutes most days.
5. Diet — more plants, less processed.
You don't have to change everything at once. Pick one. Start this week.

Happy New Year from all of us at Perth Cardiovascular Institute.

Thank you to our patients, referrers and community for your ongoing trust and support. As we move into the year ahead, we look forward to continuing to care for your heart health.

Wishing you a happy, healthy and positive year ahead.
