    YEREVAN, APRIL 27, NOYAN TAPAN. Over 50% of deaths in Armenia are
    due to cardiovascular diseases, Deputy Director of the RA Institute
    of Cadiology Parunak Zelveyan told NT correspondent. According to
    studies conducted in Yerevan, more than 200 thousand people or 28%
    of the city population suffers from high blood pressure, which
    is a risk factor in ischemic and cerebral diseases. According to
    P. Zelveyan, no preventive measures are being taken in the country,
    while more money and time is spent on elimination of the consequences
    of these diseases. Work is underway to develop a state program on the
    prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Besides, according to the deputy
    director, in order to reduce the risk factors of arterial hypertension
    and cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary to create a constantly
    functioning information service and implement measures aimed at early
    diagnosis of such diseases. P. Zelveyan said that it is envisaged to
    establish a new diagnostic service and a prophylactic cardiological
    center at the RA Institute of Cardiology in the near future.
