♥️ #WorldHypertensionDay - urgent appeal for preventive measures and global attention 🙏🏻 📌 World Hypertension Day (WHD) is celebrated on 17 May every year and is dedicated to spreading awareness about the importance of monitoring blood pressure and the risks associated with high blood pressure! 👉High blood pressure is defined as a condition in which the systolic blood pressure is consistently higher than 140 mm Hg and/or the diastolic blood pressure is consistently higher than 90 mm Hg. 👉Do you know that Hypertension affects more than one billion people around the globe and over 30% of the adult population in the world. It is the primary risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary artery disease and stroke. Besides, hypertension is also a risk factor for chronic kidney disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, and dementia. 👉Cardiovascular diseases continue to occupy first place in the statistics for causes of death. This means that cardiological check-ups are particularly important! 👉Do you know? The number one cause of atrial fibrillation: 👉 High blood pressure ☝️Atrial fibrillation occurs more frequently in people who already have heart problems or other illnesses. High blood pressure plays a prominent role here. The first sign that the heart is damaged by high blood pressure is an enlargement of the left atrium. This increases the likelihood of atrial fibrillation. 👉Around 60% of patients with long-term high blood pressure also have atrial fibrillation. 🫀 🫵You are interested in further information on the connection between high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation – the Swiss Ablation „Heart Team“ is here for you and offers professional help. 🫶You can find more information on the Swiss Ablation website www.swiss-ablation.com or contact us personally 📞 +41 44 999 18 88 #WHD2024 #HypertensionAwareness #BloodPressureCheck #HeartHealth #prevention #cardioloy #CatheterAblation #Zurich #Switzerland #swissAblation #international

On World Heart Day, Dr. Prabhu Halkati, Senior Interventional Cardiologist, explains what cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are and why Indians face a higher risk compared to those in Western countries, with CVDs frequently developing at a younger age. Heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure are the leading causes of death and disability in India. Alarmingly, more than 80% of CVD-related deaths result from heart attacks and strokes, with one-third of these occurring prematurely in individuals under 70. Dr. Halkati discusses common causes, symptoms, and proactive steps to maintain heart health, highlighting the impact of stress and genetics on heart attacks. He also explains how heart attack symptoms differ in patients with diabetes and heart failure. Let’s come together to tackle the world’s most deadly threat. Be aware, stay alert—prevention is better than cure! #WorldHeartDay #HeartHealth #CVDPrevention #StayHeartHealthy #CardiovascularCare #ArihantHospital #Belagavi

Caution! Grim stats follow... Cardiovascular diseases (heart disease) is the leading cause of death in most countries - 32% of all global deaths. It was roughly 0.2% in 1990 😳 . 50% of Americans either diagnosed with Diabetes (type 1 or 2) or are prediabetic (which means, without change, they will become diabetic). In 1958, it was approximated at 8.8 per 1,000 of the US population*. Europe, with the highest burden of type 1 diabetes globally, is estimating that 1 in 10 people living in the region will have it by 2045. It is estimated that the global combined, yearly healthcare cost for diabetes and dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (sometimes referred to as type 3 diabetes), is approximately $2.266 trillion. That is the same as GLOBAL military spending, which is at its highest ever recorded in history! Metabolic Madness!

Heart is one of the vital organs of human body, malfunctioning of it may lead to fatality, so it is very essential for everyone to take care of heart health. Due to lack of awareness about the cardiovascular health and certain lifestyle habits, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is one of the leading reason for mortality worldwide. Every year, around 1.7 crores people die due to cardiovascular disease, accounting approx 31% of all global mortality. Heart attack, Stroke and coronary heart disease are one of the most common reason of deaths due to cardiovascular disorders. These heart disorders accounts for nearly 85% of total deaths due to cardiovascular ailments. World Heart day plays a vital role in creating awareness to educate people across the world to understand the importance of heart health and bringing other organization together to actively participate in organizing various events to create awareness. hashtag #loveyourheart hashtag #avicenpharmacy hashtag #omanbloggers hashtag #muscat hashtag #promotionsoman hashtag #sagarpolyclinic hashtag #cardio hashtag #oman

Kidney function is important in cardiovascular health. About 1 in 3 U.S. adults have at least three risk factors for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a health disorder related to the strong connections among cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and metabolic disease (including Type 2 diabetes and obesity). That's why we are collaborating with the American Heart Association on a new effort to improve care for this complex health threat.

Women's heart health has been overlooked and underrepresented in research... Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in women is commonly underdiagnosed and often women tend to have a lower perception of the risk. This leads to delayed diagnosis and failed recognition of symptoms. Women develop heart diseases later than men because of the protection in the reproductive phase of their life. Once they enter menopause the risk increases. Estrogen provides a protective effect against heart disease in women. Therefore, the risk of CVD increases after menopause in most cases. Monitoring the health of women in their middle age is critical! Join our webinar to discuss at Midi Health. Lauren Streicher MD is great. https://lnkd.in/dVUPmAhk
