Each year on 29 th September, world heart day is celebrated throughout the world for making awareness among the people regarding cardiovascular disease (CVD) which is one of three leading causes of death in the world today. Here, I would like to tell to the readers that most of the CVD related deaths are preventable. This year’s theme of world heart day is ‘ Don’t miss a beat’ – that means to engage yourself in daily physical activities, refrain from smoking, treat diabetes and high blood pressure,, eat healthy diet and so on. Even after taking these precautionary measures, you do develop heart disease like coronary artery disease, the condition can be well treated either by coronary angioplasty or by coronary artery bypass. Therefore, my advice to the readers that in the event of any adverse symptoms relating to your cardiovascular health, please get investigated by an expert professional in the field of cardiovascular disease. I wish you all not to lose your heart beat.
