Cardiology Deptt holds camp in Marh Satwant Singh Rissam (BSC, LLB, LLM, PGDHRM) 1/24/2016 11:54:01 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Jan 24 : Cardiology Department of Government Medical College and Hospital Jammu organized a cardiology camp at Government Primary School in Marh here today. According to press release, this camp was organized under the supervision of Dr. Sushil Sharma, Head of the Department of Cardiology in Government Medical College and Superspeciality Hospital (GMC&SSH) and examined more than 250 patients. He was assisted by a team of doctors namely Dr. Dhaneshwar Kapoor, Dr. Mohi Kalsotra and Dr. Anitipal Singh along with Paramedical staff and volunteers. Dr. Sushil and his team did not only screen the patients but interacted with them to brief them about precautions they should take during winters. "Heart attacks are 33 percent more likely in winter. My advice to you all is to take special precautions during winter. We can see an increased risk of heart attack, because extremes of weather put stress on the body," Dr.Sushil Sharma said. He added that with cold weather, your blood vessels constrict and your blood pressure goes up. With heat, the blood pressure can fall and the heart has to work harder to make up for it. He said that many people aren't conditioned to the physical stress of vigorous outdoor activities and don't know the potential dangers of being outdoors in cold weather. Dr. Sushil advised all those who were screened for the heart diseases to keep monitoring their blood pressure and cholesterol levels during winters. "It is good to eat heavy food but one should bear in mind that the same should not cross limits," said the noted Cardiologist.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
