How many heart attacks can you survive?
In the upcoming episode of the podcast 'Patient First', host Monika Rachtan talks to Professor Michał Zembala, a prominent cardiac surgeon, about the role of the scalpel in saving lives, choosing the right specialist when faced with heart problems and the role of GPs and nutritionists in patient health.
Is the scalpel a last resort? Who should the patient turn to with hypertension problems? Is this a task for a GP or a cardiologist? A guest on the episode talks about the degraded role of GPs in our healthcare system and why patients often choose private appointments in search of better care.
Many Poles believe that a private visit to a specialist is associated with better quality healthcare. Patients often choose these appointments to get a second opinion or count on the doctor taking a longer time for a consultation.
Professor Zembala expresses his doubts about recommending the Mediterranean diet to patients in Poland and emphasises the importance of using clinical nutritionists, who have been undervalued for years.
The conversation then shifts to the subject of the post-MI patient - can they drink beer? And if so, when and what kind? The guest briefly discusses the use of medication and the importance of observing yourself correctly as a patient.
The topic of developing technology, such as the ECG watch, will not be absent. we will also consider how many heart attacks a person can survive. Professor Zembala stresses that prevention in cardiology is extremely important, as is personal contact with your own GP.
This episode is a treasure trove of knowledge for anyone interested in heart health - both patients and those interested in wider health.
The episode will be available on Wednesday, 5 July. Don't miss it!
