Heart disease number one cause of death in Cork

Heart disease is still the number one cause of death in Cork.

Consultant cardiologist at the Mater Private Hospital in Cork, Dr Ronan Margey, said that the incidence of the disease continues to grow because of the county’s ageing population.

Dr Margey presented the first of a series of cardiology master classes to GPs from Cork and Kerry in Killarney, Co Kerry, yesterday.
