Bara also points out that health care shortages affect the late diagnosis of diseases, while citizens are advised to conduct ongoing medical examinations.

Petrit Bara: Their dedication to more regular health education, both doctors and cardiovascular patients, and a cause is a lack of cardiologists in the environment.

But health control alone is not enough. Additional care should also be given in the way of feeding. Dietologist Anila Kallesi appeals to avoid fats.
