Need for Regular Heart Health Checkup

Heart diseases in UAE are on the rise, as per the recent statistics:

• In UAE, 30% deaths are caused by CVDs (cardiovascular diseases)
• 30-70% population is at the risk of CVDs
• It has been noted that 37% people in UAE do not exercise
• 32% people are obese, these can be at a direct risk of CVDs
• As per a study, it was noted that only 1 in 5 women in UAE are aware of the risk factors of CVDs.

These stats should be taken as a wake up sign. Most of the CVDs are preventable by just heart health checkup. Need for heart checkup does not restrict to merely the diagnosis of the condition at an early stage, but also its prevention. The CVDs have fatal outcomes in case they are not detected at all.

The fatalities can be decreased by an early detection with the help of heart checkup packages.

Usually, the heart checkup packages include the following tests:

• Monitoring the vitals like the pulse, blood pressure, etc
• Personal History of illnesses or addictions, etc
• Family History of illness
• Body Mass Index
• ECG
• Echocardiography
• Lipid Profile

The heart check-up benefits are higher in comparison to the heart checkup cost in UAE. As a regular heart check-up will help in the otherwise silent conditions like high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, obesity, stroke, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure and many more.
