Advice for heart conditions
Cardiovascular diseases account for about 50-60 percent of all deaths in Hungary, with most caused by atherosclerosis. If the coronary artery becomes calcified, it can lead to a heart attack; if the cerebral vessels calcify, a cerebral infarction, or stroke, can occur. Of course, our heart can be attacked by other diseases, but just like atherosclerosis, most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented, the risk of developing them can be reduced, and more and more advanced therapies can prevent a serious condition once the problem has occurred. Dr. Éva Junger, head of outpatient care at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, internist, cardiologist, and occupational health specialist, outlines the details.
How to prevent a heart attack?
Coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease are included in the statistics as leading causes of death. In Hungary, more than 3 million people suffer from hypertension, which is one of the main predisposing factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases. In understanding heart attacks and preventing cardiovascular disease, Dr. Éva Junger, a cardiologist and chief physician at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, helps us to find our way.
Do all you can to fight dementia - Dementia Prevention Program
Dementia is a syndrome characterized by mental decline, degeneration, and ultimately dementia, i.e., a retrogression from a certain cognitive and intellectual level. It is caused by the progression of a serious brain disease that impairs memory, thinking, orientation, understanding, recognition and calculation skills, thus changing both personality and behavior. Dementia typically affects people over 60 years of age, but it can occur at a younger age. The main risk factors for dementia are certain chronic diseases – such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, kidney failure, obesity and other metabolic and hormonal diseases –, however the development of dementia is also closely linked to lifestyle.
Post-COVID symptoms
As of October 2021, more than 800,000 coronavirus infections had been registered in Hungary. Today, all of us know of family members and acquaintances who have had the disease, and unfortunately many of them experience Post-COVID symptoms that persist for months after the onset of the disease. We asked Dr. Noémi Kiss-Dala, an infectologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, about the most common persistent symptoms and how to cure them.
Patients’ best interests should be the primary concern
The number of private health care institutions is growing rapidly, and with no end in sight. There is no doubt that this process is mainly driven by growing demand, from within the state healthcare system. But is there enough solvent demand to sustain all the increasingly expensive private clinics? What is the role of public and private care in the current health care system? We sought answers to these questions from Dr. Kornél Papik, Managing Director of Dr. Rose Private Hospital.
