Medications (pharmaceutical drugs) are available to treat many of the symptoms and slow the progression of cardiovascular diseases.

3.7.1 Deafblindness There are about 23,000 deafblind people in the UK. Some are totally deaf and totally blind, while others have some hearing and/or some vision (RNID, 2005, ‘Deafblind people’).

9.5.2a Exchange feedback It is important to listen to, and take into account, the views and feelings of others.
