It is World Heart Day today, so take this opportunity to learn more about your heart. Everyone is aware that the heart circulates and pumps blood throughout the body, but very few are aware that cardiovascular illnesses are one of the main killers worldwide. It is important to constantly take care of your heart, which is why the World Heart Day is observed.
According to the World Heart Federation, more than 20.5 million people die each year from conditions that harm the heart or blood arteries, including heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure. Here are some additional vital details on World Heart Day and your heart.
World Heart Day
Every year on September 29, people around the world mark International Heart Day to encourage better heart health and increase awareness of heart disease.
The campaign’s slogan, “Use Heart, Know Heart,” encourages people to use heart emojis in communications to raise awareness. Beyond the two slogans, “Because we love and protect only what we know,” and “Because when we know more, we can take better care,” the campaign focuses on educating people about heart disease and the precautions they should take.
Blood pressure, heart rate, blood tests, and cholesterol levels should all be taken into account to understand your heart better. In contrast to the typical heart rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute, high blood pressure raises the risk of heart failure.
You can better comprehend the blood flow and pressure in different parts of your body by paying attention to your pulse.
Salt, potassium, creatinine, and other elements connected to heart health can all be measured in blood samples. A fast blood test can help determine these levels. Keeping cholesterol levels within normal ranges is crucial for a healthy heart.
