The clinic encourages patients with heart disease to find suitable forms of exercise
Tartu University Hospital promotes finding enjoyable and suitable forms of exercise for patients with heart disease during Congenital Heart Defects Week.
From February 7 to 14, the global week for congenital heart defects is being observed, raising awareness about heart conditions that affect many individuals from birth. In line with this initiative, Tartu University Hospital is encouraging patients with heart diseases to seek out physical activities or sports that not only suit their interests but also align with their treatment plans.
The hospital's advocacy highlights the importance of physical activity in managing heart health, particularly for those affected by congenital conditions. By suggesting enjoyable forms of movement, the clinic aims to enhance the overall well-being and recovery of these patients. Regular exercise is crucial for heart disease patients as it can improve cardiovascular health, boost mood, and foster a sense of community through group activities.
This initiative not only supports the physical health of patients but also promotes social interaction and mental health, which are vital elements in the healing process. The clinic's efforts exemplify a commitment to comprehensive patient care, recognizing that physical and psychological well-being are interconnected, especially in managing chronic health conditions like heart disease.
