Every year, on the last Sunday of September (this year - September 29), on the initiative of the World Heart Federation, the World Health Organization and other international groups, many countries, including Russia, celebrate World Heart Day.
For many years, Tyumen Cardiology Research Center has been the organizer of preventive actions that have a wide public resonance and are designed to draw attention to the problem of prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, remind about risk factors, and talk about prevention and benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Every year the theme and format of meetings change.
This year, on the week preceding World Heart Day - from September 23 to 27 – physicians and scientists of Tyumen Cardiology Research Center will deliver lectures for Tyumen high school students. Among the topics that physicians will cover - how to recognize cardiovascular problems, how to administer first aid in myocardial infarction, why heart diseases have an early onset, how to take care of your health during stressful situations (for example, during an exam period), smoking and drinking alcohol, as major risk factors for future problems. We hope that such a meeting will help students broaden their outlook and be useful in practical life, in healthy habits formation.
In addition, in this period, from September 23 to 27, our Center will launch sports Internet challenge on Instagram account @cardiotmn, offering everyone to perform useful and simple exercises for their health. Cardiologists and physical therapy instructors recall that inadequate physical activity (hypodynamia) ranks 4th among mortality causes. Hypertension, smoking and and high blood glucose level are the only risk factors that get ahead. Without physical activity, a person becomes fat and his blood vessels accumulate too much fat, bones lose calcium and become fragile, and heart wears out due to excessive stress. Hundreds of studies have proven benefits of active lifestyle! Physical activity of human reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction at any age.
