Substantial need for information on coronary heart disease

After such an intervention believe, according to the communication of the district hospital Prignitz „Many patients that they are healthy because they have no complaints.“ The victims are not aware of the fact, „that they still suffer from chronic heart disease and therefore have to change their lifestyle and take their medication in the long term.“ Here the physicians see considerable need for information, which the Cardiology Clinic of the Prignitz district hospital wants to remedy with their event during the Herzwochen. All interested parties, stakeholders and relatives were invited to attend tomorrow (Wednesday, November 21) „to inform about the topic circulatory disorders in the heart.“
