KUWAIT: Heart diseases professor at Kuwait University Dr Mohammad Zubaid, who is also a member of the Kuwait Heart Foundation’s board of directors, provided insights into an ongoing study conducted by the heart foundation. Dr Zubaid mentioned that the study, set to conclude in two months, commenced in May. Its primary goal is to monitor and follow up on heart attack cases admitted to Kuwait hospitals, focusing on treatment and patient care.

This extensive study encompasses 4,000 patients of both genders, with a special emphasis on 1,000 women who have heart disease. Dr Zubaid elaborated on the sidelines of the “Because You Are Different” awareness campaign, a collaboration between Kuwait Heart Foundation and health experts, that this campaign seeks to raise awareness about non-classical symptoms of heart attacks that affect women and bridge the existing knowledge gap concerning women’s heart health. Dr Zubaid emphasized that the study’s outcomes would provide crucial information regarding age groups, associated risks and types of diseases affecting women.

These findings would be instrumental in guiding healthcare strategies. He expressed his gratitude to all participants involved in this important endeavor. Endocrinologist and diabetes consultant Dr Waleed Al-Dhahi, who also serves as the Head of Kuwait Diabetes
