Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 26: In pursuit of his ongoing efforts for healthier and cardiac friendly lifestyle Head Department of Cardiology GMCH Jammu Dr Sushil Sharma held a day long Cardiac awareness cum health check up Camp at Child Care Institution - Palaash , Poonch with main focus to prevent the upcoming generation from the menace of drug abuse thereby decreasing morbidity and mortality.
While interacting with the people Dr Sushil stated that Substance use disorder (SUD) is a group of diseases characterized by a strong desire to use a psychoactive substance and an impaired ability to control the use in spite of substantial negative consequences. Substance use and SUD has become increasingly prevalent in both developed and developing countries, imposing enormous health, social, and economic burdens worldwide. Most illegal drugs can have adverse cardiovascular effects, ranging from an abnormal heart rate to a heart attack.
He elaborated that injecting illegal drugs also can lead to cardiovascular problems, such as collapsed veins and bacterial infections of the blood vessels and heart valves. Many drugs, such as cocaine, heroin and various forms of amphetamine, affect the central nervous system and can alter a user's consciousness. In addition to addiction, the side effects and risks for your heart associated with the use of these drugs include changes in body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure, The possibility of added substances, such as talc, poisons, herbicides or other particles, which may cause a toxic reaction like High blood pressure, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, peripheral artery disease, increased blood clotting and arterial plaque formation, Ischemia, heart attacks, other acute coronary events and stroke and increased mortality in those with preexisting cardiovascular disease.
Dr Sushil Sharma while educating the younger masses maintained that Substance and cardiovascular disease are linked, but one can decrease risk by finding help for substance use. Treatment for addiction can be personalized. Someone with a high risk of cardiovascular disease may be able to learn about fitness, nutrition, and new interests that promote a healthier lifestyle. An addiction treatment program can help someone break free from drug or alcohol use. Whether poor health is degrading someone's quality of life or they are just beginning to recognize signs of addiction, there is hope. Through methods like medication-assisted treatment, behavioral therapy, and community support groups, one can revive their health and reclaim their life, He said
Chairman Child Care Welfare Committee Poonch Rohit Khajuria and Superintendent CCI- Palaash Nusrat Jabeen appreciated the efforts of Dr Sushil and his team for conducting cardiac awareness cum health check up in their institute and shows their heartfelt gratitude.
