World Heart Day – September 29

Karachi, September 29, 2022 (PPI-OT):‘Heart attack’, ‘heart disease’, ‘heart failure’ – all are commonly used words in Pakistani households. The reason is heart disease is the second biggest cause of death in Pakistan making preventing heart disease an important healthcare priority.

This is the reason, while globally September 29th is celebrated as World Hearth Day, the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), Pakistan, celebrates the whole month of September as “Heart Month” – bringing focus on creating awareness about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.

Preventing Heart Disease

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle goes a long way in mitigating heart diseases and ensuring you continue to lead a healthy life without any heart complications. Commit to the below for a healthy heart:

Eat a healthy diet including fruits and vegetable, whole grains and lean proteins.

Exercise at least 3-4 times a week with a combination of strength training, cardio and stretching exercises.

Control your weight. Being overweight or obese significantly increases the likelihood of cardiac diseases and disorders.

Quit smoking and avoid tobacco consumption.

Regularly consult your doctor to mitigate any potential risks and timely diagnosis.

While a heart attack can occur at any given time, there are some symptoms that should alert you to go see a doctors. These include:

Chest pain or fluttering, tightness or pressure in the chest or discomfort in the chest

Shortness of breath

Pain in the upper belly or back

Pain, numbness or weakness in your limbs

Dizziness or lightheadedness

Fainting

Diagnosis and Treatment for Heart Diseases

Heart diseases and disorders are diagnosed in a variety of ways. Blood tests and chest X-rays determine your overall heart health before any treatment, hence it’s important to consult your doctor regularly to monitor your heart health and watch out for any worrisome signs.

Being Pakistan’s first JCI-accredited academic medical centre, AKUH is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities for patients with cardiac diseases.
