Early Detection Center for Heart Diseases (EDC)
KKMA’s Early Detection Center for Heart Diseases (EDC) is a pioneering initiative aimed at tackling the escalating prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in India. Recognizing heart disease as the leading cause of death, the EDC offers a vital service by providing comprehensive cardiovascular screenings at affordable rates. This proactive approach ensures that individuals who might otherwise lack access to essential health checks can receive life-saving tests and preventive care.
The EDC's mission extends beyond diagnosis; it is committed to raising awareness about heart health and encouraging preventive measures. The center provides a range of screenings, including blood pressure and cholesterol tests, to identify potential risk factors for heart disease. Complementing these screenings are educational programs that focus on heart-healthy lifestyles, emphasizing the importance of diet, exercise, and stress management. By partnering with local healthcare providers and offering subsidized services, the EDC strives to make heart health accessible to all, particularly the most vulnerable populations. Its long-term goal is to significantly reduce the incidence of heart disease and enhance the overall well-being of the community.
