Upcoming — Event I
CAPIO’s first community event will be held in collaboration with the Maison des Aînés in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, bringing accessible cardiovascular education directly to older adults in the community.
The session will consist of an interactive presentation covering cardiovascular disease and heart attacks through CAPIO’s three pillars: prevention, recognition and intervention.
Participants will learn about common cardiovascular risk factors, how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and what to do when one is suspected.
The goal is for participants to leave with practical knowledge they can use in everyday life: a better understanding of their cardiovascular health, greater confidence recognizing warning signs of a heart attack, as well as a clear understanding of how to act quickly in this particular cardiac emergency.
