TAKE NOTE

American Heart Association volunteers will be going door-to-door in Radford this month, distributing information and asking for donations. More than 40 people will be canvasing the city.

Cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of death for Americans. In Radford during 1992, 38 deaths out of 92 were due to the disease. In Montgomery County, 152 out of 412 were caused by cardiovascular disease. In Pulaski County, the figures were 149 out of 365.

The heart association recommends that people call for emergency help at the first sign of a heart attack. Quick help reduces the chance of disability or death.
