A specialist in the promotion of life quality and a member of the Board of Directors of the Friends of Health, Jassim Al Majid, stressed that heart disease is considered one of the main causes of death around the world, as more than 17 million people lose their lives annually due to these diseases. Among these, 25% die suddenly. In the United States, more than 1,000 deaths occur daily without any prior warning, indicating that the heart attack is the most common cause of sudden death among adults, and it can occur without warning.
Al Majid explained that the heart attack is different from the heart attack; The heart attack occurs as a result of the blockage of the arteries; This hinders blood flow to the heart muscle, while heart attack is caused by an electrical defect in the heart that leads to a disorder in its pulse, which hinders the blood to pump enough to the vital organs such as the brain and the heart muscle. If immediate medical care is not provided, the chances of survival decrease by 10% every minute, making rapid intervention vital.
He said: «Even young people and good health may be subjected to a sudden heart attack. Although coronary artery disease is the most common cause, structural and electrical deformities in the heart are major causes of heart attack in people under the age of 35. An enlarged heart can be diagnosed with an echocardiogram, while electrical deformities are diagnosed with an electrical layout. ”
He added: «Global statistics show that heart diseases are considered one of the main causes of pathological holidays in the workplace, which greatly affects productivity and economy. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease causes economic losses estimated at billions of dollars annually due to pathological holidays and low productivity.
He indicated that studies in the United States show that about 15% of long -term sick leave are due to cardiovascular problems. Also, sudden heart attack is considered an emergency that can occur anywhere, including workplaces, which requires immediate intervention to save life. ”
He stated that statistics also indicate that employees with heart disease tend to take more pathological leave by up to 30% compared to their healthy colleagues. This highlights the importance of promoting health awareness and adopting prevention programs in the work environment to improve employee health and reduce pathological leave associated with heart disease.
He continued: «By enhancing the culture of health and prevention in the workplace, companies can improve the health of their employees and reduce the effect of heart disease on productivity and pathological leave. The adoption of a healthy and balanced lifestyle is an essential step towards achieving this goal, which contributes to creating a more healthy and productive work environment.
He said that the good news is that a heart attack and sudden death can be prevented, as it begins to prevent heart examination, which is a simple and easily available procedure. The examination includes a short consultation with the cardiologist, followed by an electrical planning of the heart and the echocardiogram, and sometimes the stress test on the walking device. The examination can reveal inherent risks that a person may not be aware of, which contributes to saving life.
He added that the heart tests are available in most hospitals and health centers, and regardless of your health and fitness, you must examine the health of your heart periodically to ensure the prevention of potential risks.
He talked about the role of luxury in the workplace in reducing heart problems and quality of life. Al Majid stressed that the luxury in the workplace plays a vital role in improving the quality of employees ’life and reducing heart problems. When companies focus on enhancing luxury, they contribute to creating a healthy work environment that supports employee physical and psychological health.
He said that the ways in which luxury can affect the places of work to reduce heart problems and improve the quality of life include:
Encourage physical activity: providing sports facilities or organizing group sports activities that can motivate employees to exercise regularly, which enhances heart health and reduces the risk of heart disease
Healthy Nutrition: Providing healthy nutritional options in cafeterias or during meetings. Employees can encourage a balanced diet, which contributes to improving heart health.
Tension Management: Providing tension management programs such as meditation sessions or yoga can help employees in dealing with psychological stress, which reduces the impact of tension on heart health.
– The balance between work and life: Encouraging employees to achieve a healthy balance between work and personal life can reduce fatigue and stress, which contributes to improving public health and heart health.
Health awareness: organizing awareness campaigns and workshops on the importance of heart health and methods of preventing heart disease can increase employees’ awareness and stimulate them to take positive steps towards improving their health.
He added that by focusing on these aspects, companies can enhance the well -being of employees, which improves the quality of their lives and reduces the risk of heart problems. This approach does not only contribute to the health of employees, but also enhances productivity and job satisfaction, which reflects positively on the success of the company in general.
Al Majid concluded his statement by saying: “Remember that your health is your responsibility, and the integrity of your heart depends on the extent of your concern and interest in the quality of your life. Adopting a balanced lifestyle that includes exercising regularly, eating healthy, balanced eating, getting a good sleep, and maintaining a healthy social life, all factors that contribute to promoting the health of your heart.
