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.

Stroke is a sudden nervous system disorder caused by a disruption of the blood supply to the brain, which can cause permanent damage or death. Two forms are known: cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic brain damage, which occurs in approximately 85% of cases when an area of the brain does not receive enough blood to function due to vascular occlusion; and in approximately 15% of cases, hemorrhagic strokes occur when blood flows into the brain itself or between the membranes (meninges) covering the brain and spinal cord. Dr. Rose Private Hospital’s neurologist, Dr. Sándor Ilniczky, answers the most important questions about stroke.
