Why is Cardiovascular
(Heart) Risk Screening Important?
The rationale for an active approach to the prevention of
cardiovascular diseases
is firmly based on five observations (modified from
European Guidelines on CVD Prevention in Clinical
Practice, 2003, 2007):
To know about it.. Check site :
http://www.phvc.sg/cardiovascular-screening.html
There are many heart diseases ----
Heart attack is one of the leading
causes of death in the world.
Hypertension or high blood pressure
is a condition in which the blood
pressure in the arteries is chronically
elevated.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an irregular
and often rapid rhythm, or arrhythmia,
of the upper chambers of the heart.
These rapid contractions of the heart
are weaker than normal contractions,
resulting in slow flow of blood in the
atrium.
