This year Heart Day's theme, ‘Use Heart for Action’, emphasises the importance of taking proactive steps to protect heart health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the world’s leading cause of death.
“Heart disease remains the top cause of death globally, but the hopeful message is that 80 % of premature deaths from CVDs can be prevented, said Dr Arun Kalyanasundaram, Chief Cardiologist, Promed Hospital. By addressing key risk factors like poor diet, lack of physical activity, poor sleep hygiene, and tobacco use, a significant difference can be made," he added.
