The focus is on heart failure: Experts clarify - register now!

(Obernkirchen) On Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., it will be serious! The two chief physicians of cardiology at the Schaumburger Clinic, Dr. Christian Heer and Dr. Söhnke Theiß, clarify the explosive weakness on the explosive topic. In cooperation with the Schaumburg Adult Education Center, the population is informed about the alarming symptoms and treatment options. Heart failure, an illness that affects up to four million people in Germany, can have fatal consequences and is the third most common cause of death with over 37,000 deaths every year!

The warning signs are often subtle, but dangerous: shortness of breath, even with minimal effort and sudden performance, can be signs of serious heart failure. The cardiologists emphasize the urgency of clarifying the population about risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes and lack of exercise. "We want to raise awareness and educate," said the two doctors, who also highlight the importance of prevention. About ten percent of heart failure are particularly affected by the 60- to 79-year-olds, and the numbers continue to increase due to demographic change and improved therapy options.
