Algerian hospitals count 80.000 heart attacks annually

Algerian doctors said the health services of heart diseases in various clinics and hospitals recorded over 80.000 cases of heart attacks among the Algerians annually; most of them end with death.

• Doctor Abdelghani Chabane Sari, specialist in heart diseases and head of the association to combat hardening of the arteries said during the fifth international days of heart diseases; “ This large number is likely to rise due to the aggravation of diseases like high pressure and diabetes which often resulted from the daily acute emotions, problems and pressures faced by the Algerians in their daily lives, whether they were professional or familial, as well as the high number of people living with cholesterol. All these diseases cause hard heart attacks, without neglecting cigarettes and lack of movement for many patients who suffered from heart diseases that’s why they became more subjected to such attacks. The heart attack is the first cause of death for both youngsters and elderly. Doctors can save such patients only at the early hours of the pain through injecting them with “Altropolism” which can ease heart attacks”.
