Ludhiana, September 8, 2013: A free medical camp was organised by Hero DMC Heart Institute on Sunday in association with All Saints institute of Physiotherapy at Mod Mandi, Zila Bathinda.

At the camp around 250 patients were examined by Dr. Naved Aslam (DM Cardio) and Dr. Rakendra HDHI.

The objective of this special camp was to raise awareness about Hypertension and Heart disease. Highlight that diabetes and high blood pressure are key risk factors for Heart Attack, to encourage people for quiet smoking, limited alcohol and proper exercise and eat healthy food.

According to Dr. Naved Aslam (DM Cardiologist) at HDHI - Most of the people are suffering from hypertension; Hypertension is converted into Heart failure diseases in future. This major issue is increasing day by day because people were not aware with this problem and they don't have time to mind it.Apart from this lack of awareness & unhealthy diet are two major factor contributing to heart problems not only in urban but also much more in rural population.

Increasing sedentary life style and unhealthy diet are major contributors which ultimately led to many heart problems and all this is due to lack of awareness among people. In order to cope up with rising heart problems, awareness is important medicine which can prevent these problems and maintain healthy lifestyle for example Low salt intake in case of hypertension can prevent the risk of heart failure.

At the camp apart from free medical & cardiac consultation, Diagnostic tests like Echocardiography, ECG & Blood sugar tests were provided free of cost by Hero DMC Heart Institute to all patients registered in the camp.
