Specialists of the Medical Prevention Center and volunteers in the "Olymp" shopping center conducted the "Protecting Hearts" campaign.
Visitors to the center participated in quests dedicated to a healthy lifestyle and got their blood pressure measured. 38 people out of 74 had high blood pressure, and all of them received necessary recommendations.
The event was scheduled to coincide with World Heart Day, which the UNESCO organized to remind each of us of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
"Diseases of the cardiovascular system occupy the first place in the mortality rate of the population of our Republic. And our goal is to attract the attention of city residents to their health.
The heart does not tolerate an afterthought attitude toward itself. At the first symptoms of hypertension or rhythm disorders, you should immediately consult a doctor and strictly follow a specialist's instructions. It is the only way to maintain healthy longevity. And those who are doing well, need to protect themselves and strengthen the body, move more, and be positive!" said the Chief Doctor of the Medical Prevention Center Ravil Garipov.
