Evaluating on the occasion of World Heart Day, experts shared important information regarding heart health, ranging from the protection of vascular health and heart attack symptoms to pacemakers and modern surgical methods.
Protection of Vascular Health
Protecting vascular health lies at the root of healthy aging. Experts emphasize the importance of a Mediterranean-style diet, regular physical activity, maintaining an ideal weight, and staying away from smoking.
Heart Attack Symptoms
The most common symptom of a heart attack is severe chest pain. This pain may be accompanied by cold sweats and can radiate to the arms, jaw, or back.
Pacemakers and Pulse
A normal pulse ranges between 60 and 100 beats per minute. For patients experiencing a low pulse, pacemakers are an important treatment option to prevent life-threatening risks such as fainting and sudden cardiac arrest.
Modern Cardiac Surgery
Thanks to advancements in technology, heart surgeries are now performed with smaller incisions, supported by robots, cameras, and artificial intelligence, and mostly without stopping the heart.
