In Anandpur village, the team led by HOD Cardiology Dr. Sushil Sharma screened the people for prevelance of cardiac diseases who had assembled in large number in Anandpur Village. Mostly refugees and people of border area, the team took special care in screening them since they found quite a good number of them suffering from acute stress due to proximity with border which has in past remained disturbed for most of the time.
They screened the patient with immense care and ensured that those who had come go home both with advice for living a heart healthy life and keeping stress away from their daily chores. HOD Cardiology Dr. Sushil Sharma who had been invited by Refugee Leader Labha Ram Gandhi specially to hold the camp advised all the people in the camp to stop devising dangerous ways of tackling stress of daily life.
"I know people smoke to deal with stress. But those who smoke do not know that not only lungs but smoking Cigarette and tobacco alongwith high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, obesity and diabetes are six major independent risk factors for coronary heart disease that you can modify or control. It takes you nearer to door of death. A smoker has little chances of surviving even a minor cardiac arrest," said Dr. Sushil.
He further said that cigarette smoking is as widespread and significant as a risk factor that it has now become the leading preventable cause of disease and deaths in our state. Dr. Sushil told the gathering that cigarette smoking increases the risk of coronary heart disease by itself. When it acts with other factors, it greatly increases risk. Smoking increases blood pressure, decreases exercise tolerance and increases the tendency for blood to clot. |
