Meanwhile talking about the theme of this year World Heart Day , Dr. Gurpreet Singh Sidhu said that on this World Heart Day, we want everyone to be ‘Heart Heroes’ by making a promise to eat healthily, exercise more, stop using tobacco, asking children to be more active.”
He said, “There is a need for awareness among community about prevention of heart diseases, knowing its symptoms and actions required to tackle the emergency. Not only one should take care of himself or herself but equally important is to lend help to those who suffer heart attack and any other emergency related to the heart.”
The theme focuses on this aspect where everyone in community should be aware of prevention of heart disease and its treatment. By this we can not only help ourselves, our family and relatives but can also prove useful for the community, said Dr Sidhu.
