What is Vascular Disease?
Vascular disease includes coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease. It currently affects the lives of over 4 million people in England.
It causes 36% of deaths (170,000 a year in England) and is responsible for a fifth of all hospital admissions.
It is the largest single cause of long-term ill health and disability, impairing the quality of life for many people.

You can help yourself - small changes in your life style can make a big difference.
