What are the common symptoms of cardiovascular disease?

Symptoms of a heart attack include:

• pain or discomfort in the middle of the chest;
• pain or discomfort in the arms, left shoulder, elbows, jaw or back.
• difficulty breathing or shortness of breath;
• nausea or vomiting;
• feeling dizzy or losing consciousness;
• the person breaks out in a cold sweat and becomes pale.
• Women are more likely to experience shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and back and jaw pain.

The most common symptom of a stroke is sudden weakness in the face, most often on one side, arm or leg. Other symptoms include sudden numbness of the face, especially on one side, arms or legs; confusion; difficulty speaking or difficulty understanding speech; difficulty seeing in one or both eyes; difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; severe headache, as well as loss of consciousness or unconsciousness.

Basic facts about vascular diseases:

• Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide: no other cause causes more deaths each year than CVD.

• An estimated 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2021, accounting for 31% of all deaths worldwide. 85% of these deaths were due to heart attack and stroke.

• More than 75% of deaths from CVDs occur in countries with low and middle living standards.

• Of the 17 million deaths from noncommunicable diseases before the age of 70, 82% occur in low- and middle-income countries, and 37% are caused by CVDs.

• Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by reducing risk factors: tobacco use, poor and excessive diet, lack of physical activity and alcohol abuse.

• People suffering from CVD or at high risk of such diseases need early identification of risk factors and lifestyle modifications in order to reduce their impact on the person.

Cardiovascular diseases are a group of diseases of the heart and blood vessels that include:

• coronary heart disease - a disease of the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle;
• atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension;
• cerebrovascular disease - a disease of the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain;
• Peripheral artery disease - disease of the blood vessels that supply blood to the arms and legs;
• rheumatic carditis - damage to the heart muscle and heart valves as a result of a rheumatic attack caused by streptococcal bacteria;
• congenital heart disease – deformations of the structure of the heart existing from birth;
• Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism - the formation of blood clots in the leg veins that can dislodge and move towards the heart and lungs.

Complications of CVD significantly change the quality of life.

The basis of CVD prevention : proper nutrition, correction of body weight, active lifestyle, physical activity, therapeutic exercises, swimming, fighting bad habits: smoking, drinking alcohol, drugs, following doctor’s recommendations (monitoring blood pressure, glucose and lipids in the blood ).

Quitting tobacco use, reducing salt intake, consuming enough fruits and vegetables, regular physical activity and avoiding harmful use of alcohol have been shown to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. To increase people's motivation to choose and maintain healthy behaviors, health policies are needed to create an enabling environment for healthy lifestyles to be possible and affordable.

There are also a number of factors that influence the development of chronic diseases, or underlying causes. They reflect the main driving forces leading to social, economic and cultural changes - globalization, urbanization and population aging. Other determinants of CVD include low standard of living, stress and hereditary factors.

History of the Saki resort

The history of the Saki resort began in the 9th century. BC e. It was during this period that the fertile Crimean lands began to be inhabited by Scythian tribes. At that ancient time there were oak forests, beech groves and lakes with their healing mud.

The development of the region continued for more than one century. In the 19th century Count Mikhail Vorontsov contributed to the construction of the first mud bath in this corner. This became the impetus for the development of medical tourism in Saki. People came here from Poland, France, Italy.

In 1832, the first hotel was built in Saki. Nabaldanov and Burdenko, two great doctors of Russia, elevate mud treatment to a professional level. For this exemplary work in 1912, the Saki resort received a gold medal from the Russian Technical Society.

Future plans included the construction of health resorts along the entire Black Sea coast in Saki.

It was in this year, on September 15, that the first mud bath opened its doors.
