Heart disease rates are higher among people living in deprived areas

The Scottish government should do more to address the huge difference in heart disease rates between rich and poor areas, according to a group of MSPs.

Holyrood's public audit committee held an inquiry into cardiology services.

The MSPs said their "most disturbing" finding was that people in the poorest areas expected to suffer from health problems such as heart disease.

The committee has called on ministers to set out how they will address this "fatalistic attitude".

Dealing with money problems constantly causes continue stress, which is proven to cause heart disease.
