Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally. Yet, words such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose levels are taken for granted in our day-to-day life. Most of us make lifestyle changes only when encountered with a health issue. Why not take preventative measures and gift our hearts a long and healthy life?
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the data has shown the CVD patients being disproportionately affected by the virus. Keeping this at focus, World Heart Day implores everyone to #Useheart to connect with their loved ones during these isolating times. Utilize the possibilities offered by digital networks and telehealth to connect patients with families, friends, other patients, doctors and caregivers. Highlighting the power of technology to overcome loneliness, to fill gaps in care, to keep our health on track with phone apps and fitness watches. So today, let’s connect hearts and remind our loved ones about this silent killer that causes unnecessary pain, trauma, lengthy hospital stays, or even death.

Apart from everyone’s personal aspiration of leading a healthy life to minimize life threatening heart problems, the healthcare system must also be adequately prepared to manage the fast-evolving symptoms in a patient suffering from cardiac health issues. Understanding the training needs of the medical teams, 3B Scientific has developed specialized simulators that can help the students hone their skills and improve the quality of interventions.
