Lessons to be learnt! • Redefine our enemies • Study correlations • Set new goals • Develop new strategies • Adherence to guidelines
Guidelines GPs/House staff/ doctors working in the periphery Primordial Primary Secondary prevention Topics Diabetes Dyslipidaemia Hypertension Obesity Smoking Lack of exercise Metabolic syndrome Preventive Cardiology Council - The way forward
Guidelines To disseminate the guidelines more effectively Symposia Workshops Media Print material General population Posters Translation in local languages Pictorial Bill boards Preventive Cardiology Council - The way forward
Prevent a Heart attack Heart Mobile 0-30-120-34-150-5 • 0 Tolerance for Smoking • 30 minutes of exercise every day • 120 systolic blood pressure less than that • 34 inch waist & no more • 150 cholesterol less than that • 5 times fruits & vegetables Preventive Council Pakistan Cardiac society
Healthy Heart
Preventive Cardiology Council - The way forward • Undergraduate Medical training • Projects for Community Medicine • Curriculum/ Final year examination • Part of FCPS training program and examination • Preventive cardiology departments at Institutes/ departments
Recommendations Foster healthy lifestyles and behaviors in schools. ● Improve education inprevention and nutrition in schools. ● Increase opportunities for physical activity in community, school, and work settings
Recommendations - food policy ● Change food policy to foster • the reduction of sodium in the food supply leading to a 5% per year decline • the labeling of the nutritional content • awareness about caloric value and cholesterol content of diet
Recommendations ● Increase the visibility of preventive cardiology at national meetings attended by cardiologists and/or primary care providers. ● Encourage coordination between professional organizations
