The causes of CHD are usually found in narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries caused by calcium deposits. Symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath and a general feeling of malaise often go unnoticed for years. This is exactly where the Health Forum comes in.

Clinic Director Prof. Dr. Julian Widder will explain how the symptoms can manifest themselves in different target groups. PD Dr. Jonas Neuser sheds light on the development and treatment of heart attacks, while Dr. Owais Mohammad informed about the latest diagnostic and treatment options.

An important point will also be the role of health-promoting lifestyle changes. Dr. Katharina Ruppender will explain what influence blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar have on heart health. Dr. Andrea Radzewitz gives practical tips on how those affected can maintain their quality of life despite CHD.

Prevention is key

Prevention is a central issue in the fight against CHD. Risk factors such as high cholesterol, obesity, smoking and lack of exercise should be taken seriously. Experts recommend leading a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet. Endurance sports can help to significantly improve the prognosis for CHD and strengthen the heart. A healthy diet with lots of vegetables and healthy fats is also very important.

For anyone interested in the region, the event is a unique opportunity to obtain comprehensive information and ask personal questions. Because when it comes to heart health, it is important to act early and react accordingly.

The event starts on November 5th at 5 p.m. Access is via the central entrance of House M, the north entrance of House M or via the entrance of House R at the parking lot on Franz-Lust-Straße.
