Heart failure is a fatal disease

We hear and read more and more about heart problems in our society. This problem is particularly alarming, as cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in Poland. Some specialists are already using the term "epidemic" to refer to heart failure.

Heart failure is detectable and treatable. Effective prevention of this disease is essential, which can be achieved by educating the public and increasing awareness of the condition.

People admitted to medical facilities with a diagnosis of heart failure incur significant costs for its treatment. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure, so it's worth addressing the underlying causes. Heart failure is the final stage of many conditions.

220,000 new cases of heart failure are reported each year in Poland.

Poland ranks first among OECD countries in terms of the frequency of hospitalizations due to heart failure*.

Regular monitoring of the cardiovascular system is necessary.

You can use a range of diagnostic devices from our store. Pulse oximeters measure blood oxygenation and pulse, and handheld ECG devices indicate heart health. We encourage you to explore the OLAMED store's offerings.
