Berlin (AP) — “Going to the toilet was your only movement today?” With a such a saying on public Privy, the city of Vienna animates their citizens to more movement. Regular walking – at least four times each half an hour – considered a week effective means, to prevent heart disease. The Wiener found this slogan: “Go walk with your dog, if they have one or not.” Germany is lagging behind in the prevention of heart disease, according to leading cardiologists. There have been written papers and launched pilot projects in the life, but the number of smokers, obese people and people with untreated hypertension is stagnating at a high level. “All risk factors are known,” the President said of the German society for cardiology, Martin Gottwik, on Friday in Berlin. “Now we need to move us in the way of life”, he demanded in advance of the European heart Congress, which begins Saturday in Berlin. Günter Breithardt, cardiologist from Münster and from 1996 to 1998 President of the European society of Cardiology (ESC) called another reason for the stagnation: “You will get not the hundreds of insurance under a hat for a powerful national campaign.” Starting on the Saturday Congress, with 20 000 to 25 000 participants of one of the biggest, shows many ideas for the fight against obesity, hypertension, and diabetes risk factors. The lack of precautionary willingness of the population can be implemented many physicians. “The implementation of the insight in action is the main problem,” said the head of Vienna program for health planning, Hannes Schmidl. “With statistics alone no one on the way makes himself.” New concepts are needed to motivate. For example, the initiative “Hypertension detectives” in life was launched in Vienna. The grandson to measure the blood pressure of OMIS and Opis and attention they at risk. Also marked “Run miles”: panels inform interested persons, by which time they should travel the mile to be fit. The Federal Government plans to make disease prevention a further pillar of public health, Health Minister Ulla Schmidt (SPD) said at the start of the campaign “More heart for the heart” on the occasion of cardiologists Congress. At the same time, she appealed to the individual: “Anyone to do anything themselves.” The heart however reminded that it was Germany, which prevented the Europe-wide ban on tobacco advertising. However in the clinic area, success posted the German cardiologists. The often-maligned Apparatemedizin could, for example, to reduce the death rate in patients of 16 to 9 per cent in 200 participating hospitals with heart and vascular problems. “The faster the apparatus use, the better the results”, said Breithardt. “The right patients receive the right treatment at the right time,” summed up Gottwik.
