Jammu, June 11: : In perpetuation of an unexhausting and invaluable bid to extend his campaign to apprise and aware the populace about the feral effects of cardiovascular diseases, Dr. Sushil Sharma HoD Cardiology of GMC today held a day long camp at Gurha Singhu, Block Marh in which more than 200 patients were examined by the team of doctors and free medicines were also provided as per the requirement.
Stupendous observation was conducted by Dr. Sushil while examining patients. He observed that there is a strong link between low socioeconomic status and increased heart-disease risk. “There is a well-established relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and health, with individuals lower in SES experiencing higher rates of morbidity and mortality than higher-SES individuals. This relationship is particularly evident in the case of coronary heart disease (CHD), the progressive narrowing of the coronary vessels manifested by angina pectoris (chest pain), myocardial infarction (MI), and coronary death. Recent advancements in cardiovascular health have primarily benefitted wealthier, effluent and better-educated individuals, while progress among those of lower socioeconomic standing continues to lag,” he added.
Dr Sharma said the gradient incidence of CVD morbidity and mortality across the spectrum of socioeconomic status (SES), as this is mainly defined by income, occupation and educational status, has pronouncedly rendered clear the need to take into account more than the classical risk factors when trying to determine objectively the individual overall CVD risk.
Others who were part of this endeavour included Dr Mohi Kalsotra, Dr Kewal Sharma and Dr Chakshu Mahajan. Paramedics and volunteers included Vikas Kumar, Kashmiri Lal, Raghav Rajput, Aman Gupta, Rajinder Singh, Nitesh Mahajan, Suresh Sharma, Manoj Sharma Amandeep Singh and Raj Kumar.
