Living and Managing with a Heart Condition
Heart disease remains as one of the major causes of premature death in Walsall. There have
been several reports produced locally by Public Health Walsall that evidence this but there is
also other intelligence published by Public Health England e.g., CVD primary care intelligence
pack (2021). We understand that a range of factors heighten the risk of heart disease and
that generally premature deaths from this disease tend to be in the more deprived areas of
Walsall where risk factors that can cause heart disease are more prevalent. As background
data to support this report we have obtained some summary information from our local
Public Health department as well as undertaking a limited analysis of the CVD primary care
intelligence pack 2021 and this follows.
