People from low-income areas are more likely to die after a heart attack than people from high-income areas, and Canada has the largest disparity between the rich and poor in short-term mortality rates,University of Texas Medical Branch and Harvard Medical School researchers compared the treatments and results received by heart attack patients in low-income and high-income neighbourhoods.
“The results reinforce again that poverty has really consistent health impacts that seem to transcend national borders. I think that the challenge for governments, for policymakers for the health-care system is to figure out what, if anything, are effective interventions that can be done,” said Dr. Peter Cram.
Data was collected from six different countries including Canada — from Ontario and Manitoba specifically — the U.S., the U.K., the Netherlands, Taiwan and Israel between 2013 and 2018. Differences in one-year mortality were even larger, with the highest difference in Israel, with 16.2 per cent and 25.3 per cent for high versus low-income individuals with STEMI.
The beauty of socialized medicine. This is what the nutters, who want to maintain criminalization of healthcare competition, are seeking to protect.
The headline omits significant info. The only provinces data were collected from in Canada were Ont and Man, and there were only 5 other countries (all first-world wealthy) in the comparison pool. That creates a rather skewed result, doesn’t it?
Nobody cares about this drivel from the Toronto star.
People from low income areas are also more likely to die from gunshot wounds or stabbings. Discuss.
Rich people each healthier foods. How many poor people can afford steaks? Or expensive fishes?
canada is no longer in the top-10 list of freest countries in the world, according to a new report.Canada fell six rankings, was overtaken by nations such as Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands on the annual “Human Freedom Index” released by Canadian Fraser Institute.
FYI The rise in heart attacks are NOT from the shots. Signed Dr. Shotty McBooster

What twoddle
Nope wrong Correlation is not causation
Leave it to the Red Star to sell victimhood in every way, shape and form. Socialist misery loves company and Nihilism is the road to total government dependency.
Makes sense. Rich life is more attractive.
so true i come from a wealthy family and we live 90+ and healthy too$$$$
Why private pay health care is a horrible idea
“Canada has the largest …” Here come the curated superlatives.
Could it be that richer people can afford healthier unprocessed, genetically modified foods? Might be something to investigate
Your studies are fake. No wonder nobody reads your newspaper anymore
So in other words everything is going according to plan ... 😒
That is because the real disparity in Canada is between rich and poor. The wealthy control all the levers so they push the idea race, religion and gender are where the divisions lie.
Ask heart Dr why you get a heart attack Won't be this BS harmful medical information Covering up the demicide as much as possible this RAG paper as they KNOW justice is coming for thier part in it
So are folks who have been jabbed. Pre Covid myocarditis rates were 4/1M...now 25K/1M. Haven't seen bruce_arthur do a story on that for some reason. Why not?
Thanks to the govt we will all be poor soon enough TrudeauMustGoNow
I’m sure that’s very true.
its government funded poverty
Vaccines
Loool you are not a serious news outlet
Makes sense. Low income don't have transportation to gyms, likely engage in smoking and drinking. Stress to pay for food clothing and rent must be a contributing factor.
Nowadays, basically everything causes heart attacks 🤷🏻
Hopefully my rax dollars weren't used on this study.
I'm sure JTs Carbon Tax hasn't increased that disparity at all. 🙄
Canada also has a significant percentage of its population dispersed across vast areas.
Stress and lack of access to good food.
Of course. They cannot afford fancy smoothies and treadmills.
Climate change..Should have paid more carbon tax and used them paper straws
So we need to make everyone poor so everyone gets the same heart attack rate.
The poor have always had a higher mortality rate than the rest of us. Is this news?
