In Ponta Grossa, the programming will feature the World Heart Day Symposium, bringing together professionals from different areas.

Mobilization takes place in several cities of the Paraná
In addition to the World Heart Day in Ponta Grossa, other cities in Paraná will also have special actions on Tuesday.
Among the activities programmed by the Paranaense Society of Cardiology are practical training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), individual guidance on cardiovascular risks and actions specifically aimed at the health of the female heart.
The state programming will also have spaces designed to raise awareness about healthy habits.
According to the cardiologist and director of communication of the Paranaense Society of Cardiology, Dr. José Knopfholz, the proposal is to stimulate the population to observe everyday behaviors that can directly interfere with cardiovascular health.
“At this date, our doctors will be wearing the shirt to remind people that caring for the heart is perhaps one of the main points for a healthy and fulfilling life,” he says.

Among the topics addressed by the campaign are diet, exercise, prevention of risk factors and identification of signs related to heart problems.
