Scott Thompson Show

February 22nd is Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day, and Hamilton resident Cole Morro has firsthand experience with the disease. Cole was training to become a physician assistant when a classmate noticed he had a murmur. Heart Valve Voice Canada is leading an awareness campaign called “Listen to Your Heart” in partnership with the Alliance for Aging and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. Over 1 million Canadians are affected by heart valve disease, but awareness of the signs and symptoms is shockingly low. The symptoms are not always severe and can be mistaken as part of the natural aging process. Guest: Cole Morro, Interventional Radiology Physician Assistant in Hamilton, Ontario, advocate for Heart Valve Disease awareness
