Though we keep stressing on following healthy lifestyle and tackling stress, many people ignore it with the misconception that they are fit and healthy. Even if they experience any symptoms like chest pain, irregular heart beat they hardly take action as they are not aware of the symptoms of cardiac ailments. The primary purpose of this webinar is to create awareness on prevention, symptoms and measures to be taken if they experience heart problems.”
