| Exercises, dietary control can prevent stress : Rissam | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 29- Padmashree Dr. HS Rissam, Director Clinical Cardiac Sciences and Senior Interventional Cardiologist, Max Devki Devi Heart and Vascular Institute has said that “there is a big responsibility on medical professionals to create awareness in the younger generation with emphasis on regular exercise, discretion in dietary habits and various techniques to prevent stress and burn out. All these measures would result in prevention of early onset of such diseases, he added. He said despite all preventive measures if some one develops cardiac disease, advanced medical technology available at Max Healthcare enables the patient to get best treatment options with long lasting results and help return to normal life at the earliest.
It may be recalled that Max Devki Devi Heart and Vascular Institute, New Delhi is organizing a two day free Cardiac OPD at Medicare Nursing Home Gandhinagar, Jammu from tomorrow where Dr. Rissam shall be attending to heart related queries of cardiac patients and provide them free consultation on cardiac problem.
Dr Rissam said the more tragic part is that the cardiovascular disease affects the young population in the productive years with its crippling effects on the family and the society. What we need to do is increase public awareness. Emphasis should be on simple alterations in diet, regular exercise and stress management, which might include yogic practices, can be of great help, he said.
Dr Rissam said few simple modifications which could make a tremendous difference on the incidence of coronary artery disease are regular walking, abstinence from smoking and tobacco usage, alteration in dietary habits (consumption of heart healthy food) and periodic medical check-up for detection of risk factors of CAD.
He further said that going by the trends in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in India, the country is likely to have about 100 million heart patients by the year 2020. Though the average life expectancy of an Indian has increased by around 25% due to reduction of burden of infectious diseases and malnutrition related disorders, there has been a phenomenal increase in the incidence of vascular disorders due to changes in life style attributable to globalization and urbanization, he pointed out.
