Heart Disease and Cancer
Public Service Announcement By Meghan Sumner
What is heart disease?
Heart disease occurs when plaque builds up in the walls of our arteries. As more and more plaque builds up, it makes it difficult for blood to move through the arteries, which then increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.
What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide without control and then invade other tissues. There are many different types of cancer.
