Just For Hearts for a hale and hearty young India

PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 26, 2009 – Pune:  Interventional cardiologist Dr. Ravindra L Kulkarni will launch his dream project Just For Hearts on September 27, 2009, to coincide with the World Heart Day. The event will be held at Yashwantrao  Chavan Auditorium at 9.00 am in Kothrud, Pune. With five people dying every minute of heart disease in India , this project is launched in order to prevent the incidence of heart disease by adopting healthy lifestyle changes.

 

A one-of-its-kind initiative in Pune, Just For Hearts will offer a full spectrum of services including educational programs, prevention-oriented screenings, early detection, treatment, follow up care, corporate seminars and workshops, training management and high risk individuals on stress-free life.  In addition, Just For Hearts will also devise effective action plans to improve personal health and well-being.  Through a team of medical professionals and like-minded individuals, Dr Ravindra L Kulkarni aims to render basic and advanced cardiac care affordable and ethical.  

 

Says Dr Ravindra L Kulkarni, an interventional cardiologist, “Heart disease is a leading killer in India , and the risk factors that lead to heart disease continue to be inadequately addressed and controlled. The heart disease burden in India is increasing at an alarming rate due to lack of awareness regarding prevention, early detection and treatment services. Our aim at Just For Hearts is to decrease the incidence of heart disease through a multi-pronged approach.”

 

Dr Ravindra L Kulkarni says the mission of Just For Hearts is to play a leading role in the fight against disease of the heart so that it is no longer a major cause of concern.  The interventional cardiologist believes that simple lifestyle changes can make a huge reduction in chances of getting a heart attack. “People can lower their risk for heart disease by as much as 82 percent by simply adopting sensible health habits. And it's never too late to start protecting your heart health. It’s about making better and healthier eating choices, getting active and being positive. The key to improving your health is focusing on making lifestyle changes,” he adds.



 

 

 

As a social responsibility measure, Just For Hearts will conduct free check ups, public campaigns, establish cardiac rehabilitation programs for the diagnosed, treated and operated patients in order to facilitate healthy life. The Just For Hearts project will also conduct clinical and medical research to improving the clinical treatment and prevention of heart disease. The initiative provides continuing education, wellness outreach, risk assessment and other heart healthy events. Further, Dr Ravindra L Kulkarni will also unveil www.justforhearts.org a portal that serves as an online gateway to information about heart disease and healthy living.
