PUNE: Every year 17.1 million lives are claimed across the world by cardiovascular diseases, with 82 per cent of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Majority of these deaths could be prevented through steps such as eating a healthy diet, regular physical activity and avoiding tobacco, cardiologist Shireesh Sathe, director of cardiology department at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital (DMH), said at a press conference here on Friday.
"However, not all heart events are preventable. If one suspects a family member of having a heart attack (myocardial infraction) or stroke, medical help should be sought immediately. Over 70 per cent of all cardiac and breathing emergencies occur at home when a family member is available to help a victim. There are treatments available through which the lives of our loved ones can be saved," said Sathe. He was speaking ahead of the World Heart Day that falls on September 29. 'One World, One Home and One Heart' is this year's theme.
