U posljednjoj nedjelji septembra obilježava se Svjetski dan srca. Sa obrzirom da preko 50% svjetske populacije umire od kardiovaskularnih bolesti ovaj datum je simbolički podsjetnik na važnost zdravlja našeg srca, ...

posebno ako uzmemo u obzir da se oko 80% smrti uzrokovanih bolestima srca može izbjeći kontrolom faktora rizika koje predstavljaju pušenje, nezdrava prehrana, nedovoljna tjelesna aktivnost i prekomjerna konzumacija alkohola.Neke bolesti srca mogu biti uzrokom nagle smrti mladih što se ne može spriječiti samo navedenim faktorima nego je potrebno izvršiti medicinsko ispitivanje. Budućnost je u genskom mepingu i određivanju rizičnih mladih ljudi te mogućnosti praćenja istih i ugradnja kardioverter defibrilatora kod rizičnih grupa. Danas, zaista možemo reći da imamo mogućnost prevencije nagle smrti i poboljšanja kvalitete života.

U cilju obilježavanja ovog dana, poduzmimo korake prema životu sa zdravim srcem kako bismo sebi i svojoj porodici smanjili rizik od bolesti srca i moždanog udara.

In the last week of September world celebrates World Heart Day. Taking into account that over 50% of the world's population die from cardiovascular disease this date is a symbolic reminder of the importance of the health of our heart, especially if we consider that about 80% of deaths caused by heart disease can be avoid by regular control of risk factors like smoking, unhealthy diet, insufficient physical activity and excessive consumption of alcohol. Some heart diseases may be the cause of sudden death among young people that can not be prevented only by mentioned factors , it is necessary to carry out a medical examination. The future is in the gene mapping and process of determining the risks that young people are exposed to, and the possibility of monitoring these risks as well as installation of cardioverter defibrillator in risk groups. Today, we can really say that we have the possibility of preventing sudden deaths and improve quality of life.

To mark this day, we should all take steps towards life with a healthy heart in order to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke to us and our family.
