The National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS) is aiming to reduce the number of people here with serious heart problems by catching and treating patients before their problems blow up.
It is working with polyclinics in its cluster to identify patients who doctors think may be at risk of cardiovascular disease, even if they do not show any symptoms yet.
