September 29 every year is designated as World Heart Day by the World Heart Federation. This was initiated to increase awareness about heart diseases among the general public. Knowing the problem would help the people address it more efficiently and get timely help from the cardiologists or respective specialists.
Heart diseases, also known as cardiovascular
diseases, constitute the majority of the deaths among adults. Thus creating
awareness about it is crucial. Every year the world heart day has a theme, and
for 2021 it is “Use heart to connect”. This theme is selected to encourage
people to use digital technologies to get awareness and diagnosis, treatment and
prevention of heart
diseases.
The importance of digital technologies had
never been more apparent than during the Covid
pandemic. People stuck in their homes,
especially the elderly, needed healthcare.
Telemedicine has greatly helped the patients communicate efficiently with the
doctors without leaving their homes. Even people in remote areas greatly
benefitted by using telemedicine and telehealth.
Other devices like smartphones, wearable
healthcare technology can track heart
rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and
more. These wearable technologies, when used properly, can help the patient
maintain a healthy
lifestyle and even prevent the
occurrence of heart diseases.
Some heart
failure patients might have implants
like pacemakers, defibrillators, and ventricular assist devices. These devices
have a backup Memory, and this data can be used to check the condition even without
the patient visiting the hospital.
