Panchkula, Sept 29: More than 200 residents got themselves medically examined from consultant cardiologists in a free cardiac check-up camp organised at Alchemist Hospital, Sector 21, Panchkula as part of World Heart Day celebrations.
From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., patients apart from being provided free consultation by consultant cardiaologists DR. Arvind Kaul, Dr Karun Behal and Dr Rohit Parti also availed of free blood pressure test, free blood sugar test and free ECG. They could also avail 50 percent discount on ECHO, TMT and LIPID profile. A 20 percent discount was also on offer for lab investigations and radiology diagnostics recommended by the cardiologists.
For the entire month – from Sept 29 to Oct 28 there will be discounted packages for angiography, angioplasty, CABG, CT Angio, comprehensive whole body check-up and cardiac check-up.
World Heart Day seeks to spread the message that at least 80 percent of premature deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD), the world’s number one killer, could be avoided if four main risk factors – tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol – are controlled.
