Cardiovascular diseases have been the most dangerous diseases in
Armenia since 2004. The mortality from cardiovascular diseases is 49%,
Head of Public Health Department of the Armenian Healthcare Ministry
Alexander Bazarchyan said at today's press conference in Yerevan.
He said that the main reasons of such diseases are connected with the
social state of the citizens, because a low death rate is typical to
the developed countries.
When speaking of the reasons of growth of cardiovascular diseases,
Bazarchyan mentioned the sedentary lifestyle. "The muscular
passiveness not only makes people physically weak, but also reduces
their natural endurance, and this gives birth to various diseases,
including cardiovascular, bacterial and viral disorders", he added.
Bazarchyan added that the cardiovascular diseases are very dangerous
because very often (25-30%) they have no symptoms. In this context,
the expert called on the Armenian citizens to consult the doctor as
soon as they feel a pain in the rib cage during or after physical
load.
In order to avoid cardiovascular diseases, one should walk for more
than half an hour daily, give up alcohol and smoking, eat more
vegetables and fruits, limit the use of salt and sugar and consult a
doctor once a year, he said.
