Daily Cuts - Keeping track of Singaporeans' heart health through Project Reset

According to the National Health Survey, nearly all of us (9/10) are consuming too much salt. And naturally, that’s resulted in higher prevalence of hypertension and high blood pressure. Heart disease is also the top cause of death in Singapore. So a new initiative has been launched – it’s called Project RESET, and it will involve the screening of 10,000 Singaporeans aged 40 to 70. Professor Roger Foo, Director, Cardiovascular-Metabolic Disease Translational Research Programme, NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and Director, Cardiovascular Research Institute, National University Heart Centre, Singapore tells us more about this.
