According to the British Heart Foundation, cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attacks, causes 26% of all deaths in the UK.<\/p>\n
Men are especially vulnerable to other forms of cardiovascular disease, according to Dr David Hill, senior partner at Oxted Health Centre.<\/p>\n
“Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death amongst men in the UK, with around one in eight men dying from coronary heart disease,” Hill said.<\/p>\n
“One of the challenges is that many cardiovascular conditions can develop quietly over time, often without obvious symptoms in the early stages.<\/p>\n
“Men are also statistically less likely to attend routine health appointments or seek medical advice early.”<\/p>\n
Schwartz said that he was very aware of the “reputation” for not getting checked out when creating this clinic.<\/p>\n
He has created a partnership that will see a free clinic held for men aged between 40 to 70 who are registered at the Oxted surgery.<\/p>\n
It will be attended by specialists from the Cleveland Clinic London, who performed his surgery.<\/p>\n
Hill said that he had been “really encouraged by the level of interest and engagement so far”, adding that there was “clearly growing awareness around preventative healthcare generally”.<\/p>\n
For Schwartz, the message is simple: “Don’t die before your time.”<\/p>\n
The free clinic will be held on Saturday from 09:00 BST to15:00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to the British Heart Foundation, cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attacks, causes 26% of all deaths in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444403,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[163,521,85,46],"class_list":["post-444402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
