Lesedi and Dustin speak with Professor Liesel Zühlke, University of Cape Town, as she explains what Angina is, and how it can indicate much more serious heart problems to come down the line. We speak about what to do when we feel pain which can be Angina, and how to prevent heart problems, especially for those who may be more prone to them due to hereditary, or lifestyle issues.
