Sahyadri Speciality Hospital Nagar Road is organizing a special camp for free heart checkup. The event will be organized from 11th to 17th December, 2013 between 10:00 AM to 2:00PM and patients can avail free checkup and consultation by eminent Cardiologists.

The event is organized to raise awareness about the various heart ailments that are largely neglected and lead to serious complications if left untreated. The team of Cardiologists from Sahyadri Speciality Hospital Nagar Road explained that the heart disease is a result of the narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart with blood, oxygen, and nutrients. The accumulation of cholesterol-rich fatty deposits on the interior arterial walls narrow the coronary arteries to the point that the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart is impeded. The most common symptoms of heart disease are:

· Discomfort, pressure, heaviness or pain in the chest, arm, or below the breastbone

· Discomfort radiating to the back, jaw, throat, or arm

· Fullness, indigestion, or choking feeling (may feel like heartburn)

· Sweating, nausea, vomiting or dizziness

· Extreme weakness, anxiety or shortness of breath

· Rapid or irregular heartbeats

Cardiologists also suggested that these symptoms should be treated in the early stages failing which causes complications and surgery becomes difficult. He mentioned that with healthy eating habits, exercise and timely checkups, the risk of cardiac disease is significantly reduced. Major risk factors for cardiovascular disease include cigarette smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyle.
