Given the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular issues across the country, individuals must undergo annual cardiac screenings. Heart attacks, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrests are causing higher morbidity and mortality rates, cardiac screening helps to identify potential heart conditions early and enhance overall well-being.
Every year, World Heart Day is observed on September 28 around the globe with the aim to raise awareness about heart disease. This year the theme is 'Heart for Action', which urges people to take important actions to keep their heart healthy and promote general well-being. To do this, experts advise focussing on your heart health by scheduling essential tests such as blood work, electrocardiograms (ECG), stress tests, and echocardiograms to promote better cardiovascular health.
