ADVICE FROM THE HEART

Cardiological diseases are one of the main causes of premature death of men worldwide. They are often difficult to detect, because they do not produce clear symptoms. "Fortunately, we have many tests at our disposal that can help us. Cardiological consultations, ECG, blood pressure testing, cholesterol level testing," emphasizes cardiologist Dr. Konrad Kaaz. The specialist points out that years of neglect, addictions, lack of sleep and bad eating habits contribute to heart and circulatory system diseases.
