Any pain which can be pinpointed by a finger cannot be heart pain

Any chest pain which lasts less than 30 seconds and/or can be pinpointed by a finger is not cardiac pain, said Padma Shri & Dr. BC Roy National Awardee, Dr. KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India, Dr. Viveka Kumar, Director, Max Heart Centre and Dr. HK Chopra, Vice-President, CSR in a joint statement. They were participating in a seminar organized at Birla Vidya Niketan, Pushp Vihar as part of 19^th MTNL Perfect Health Mela.

The audience-based interaction was attended by over 100 teachers and parents. The doctors said that chewing a tablet of 300 mg water-soluble aspirin at the onset of chest pain can prevent death in 22% of cases.

 

Even if a person dies, one should be able to revive the person in most cases by compressing the centre of the chest of the deceased within 10 minutes of death for the next 10 minutes with a speed of 100 per minute (10x10).

If a person has normal ECG, a pumping action of heart more than 40%, can climb two flight of stairs, walk 2 km without any chest discomfort, he is not a candidate for future sudden cardiac death.

The main Perfect Health Mela will start on 7^th November, 2012 at Constitution Club of India and will have a mix of exhibitions, competitions, workshops, seminars, entertainment incorporating all Pathies under one roof. The entry to the Mela will be free. The programme will be telecast live on 7^th November, 2012 6pm on Fit Dilli in Dilli Aajtak.

170 teachers and principals of MCD south were trained today on adolescent deaddiction by Padma Shri Awardee Dr KK Aggarwal as part of 19^th MTNL Perfect Health Mela celebrations. Mr Satish Upadhyay chairman education committee was the chief guest. Dr Aggarwal said that addiction is a disease and should be treated under medical supervision.

Addiction occurs either due to ignorance or under peer pressure. Non fulfillment if desires and in guilt also ends up with addictions.
