About the EVENT

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in Malaysia. Do you know why? It’s because about 1 in 3 adults in Malaysia have high cholesterol or hypertension, and 1 in 6 have diabetes. And the worst part is that you’re probably unaware you have these problems, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

In conjunction with World Heart Day in September, join us for BFM’s Health & Living event, ‘Your Heart Must Go On’. We’ll be exploring:
• Why is LDL-cholesterol the silent threat to your heart, and how to achieve the optimal ratio.
• What's new when it comes to diagnosing and treating atrial fibrillation.
• What to do if you’ve just discovered you have high cholesterol or any form of cardiometabolic disease.
• Special guest! A heart disease patient shares his near-miss with a heart attack and how it changed his life.

This BFM World Heart Day event is part of Unblocked, a movement for heart health sponsored by CVSKL, in collaboration with Novartis.

Panel Discussion 1: When Your Heart Skips A Beat
Did you know that atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm condition, is more likely to develop as people get older, have uncontrolled hypertension and underlying heart disease? This puts many of us at risk, and therefore, with higher chances of developing a stroke. In this session, our panel speaker will share about the latest innovations in treatments and therapies for atrial fibrillation.

Panel Discussion 2: High Cholesterol, Lowdown on LDL

We all know about the dangers of cholesterol. But it’s not just a simple matter of having high or low cholesterol. Enter: LDL (or bad) cholesterol, the silent threat to your heart. Join us in this session to get the lowdown on LDL, and how that affects your risk of heart disease. We’ll have a special guest: a heart disease patient sharing how he overcame his personal fears to change his behaviours and how he lives well today with better management of his disease.
