Heart Health Initiative “Healthy Heart” Launched
Panacea Medical and Wellness Centre launched the “Healthy Heart” campaign to help educate their patients and members of the community about the medical parameters they need to know in order to achieve and maintain an optimum level of these parameters to keep their hearts healthy. This initiative will create awareness about the normal levels of essential parameters that should be maintained to prevent heart disease.
“Modern day lifestyles of patients put a lot of pressure on their bodies. They are not aware of the pre-disposing factors that cause heart disease” said Dr Vasantha Kumar, Specialist Internal Medicine.
Every Tuesday, a free consultation and BP check will be made available with Dr Kumar who will advise patients on their heart health. Patrons will be provided with an information leaflet that will advise them on normal values of BP, Cholesterol, Glucose, Triglyderides and BMI. The leaflet will also guide them on what to include in their diet for good heart health and how long to exercise.
Panacea Medical and Wellness Centre hopes to raise awareness about heart health and decrease the number of heart attacks through this initiative .
