CARDIOVASCULAR SCREENING

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide.

Some modifiable risk factors include obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure.

On the 22nd of October, Clínica do Plaza promoted a screening action in order to sensitize the population to adopt a healthy lifestyle and control cardiovascular risk factors.

The event was highly attended, with free assessment of blood pressure, heart rate and capillary blood glucose, as well as cholesterol and triglycerides testing for all participants.

It also made it possible to present some elements of the new unit of the Hospital de Loulé Group, in an informal and pedagogical environment.

The initiative is repeated on the 29th of October at the Tavira Municipal Market, between 8 am and 1 pm.
