00:00Pagdiriwang ng Philippine Heart Month,
00:02ating pag-uusapan kasama si Dr. Walid Amil,
00:06National President ng Philippine Heart Association.
00:08Dr. Amil, magandang tanghali po.
00:12Magandang tanghali po. Good morning, Philippines.
00:15Morning, everyone.
00:17Dr., una sa lahat, ano po ang tema at pangunahing layunin po
00:21ng Philippine Heart Month ngayong taon?
00:24Okay, for this year, our Heart Month celebration,
00:28ang theme natin is bringing heart care closer to every Filipino
00:34all over the country.
00:35Yan po ang aming theme for this year's Heart Month celebration.
00:40Okay. Doc, ano po yung mga activities o event na ating pakakaabangan
00:46na inihanda ng Philippine Heart Association para po sa Heart Month this year?
00:51Okay. Yung National Board will be going to Bacaulod.
00:56Meron tayong celebration doon, no, sa city of Bacaulod.
01:00Meron tayong, of course, the usual activity that we do,
01:04lay fora, yung mass, hands-only CPR,
01:08at saka yung mga lifestyle, healthy lifestyle activities.
01:11And buong Pilipinas, meron tayong 18 chapters
01:15ng Philippine Heart Association,
01:17five sa National Capital Region,
01:19and we're now having 15 chapters all over the country,
01:24provincial chapters po ito.
01:25So, lahat ng chapters will be conducting activities solely aiming for,
01:32yun nga, yung prevention and treatment na activity
01:36para sa ating mga community all over the country.
01:39So, buong Pilipinas po yan magsa-celebrate during the Heart Month.
01:43Doc, paano po ba nakatutulong ang Philippine Heart Association
01:47sa pagpapalaganap po natin ng tamang impormasyon
01:50tungkol sa iba't ibang sakit sa puso?
01:54Okay. Ang Philippine Heart Association po
01:56is a member ng mga cardiologists all over the country.
02:00We now number around 2,500, no?
02:03So, lahat ng ito is very, may authority sila to speak
02:08ano talaga ang totoo, paano maiwasan,
02:12anong treatment sa mga sakit sa puso.
02:15So, ito yung panlaban natin sa mga fake news
02:19na may mga nangyayari pa rin ngayon sa social media.
02:22So, malaking bagay po ang ating mga members ng Philippine Heart
02:25to give adequate lectures with authority
02:29sa ating mga patients and community, no?
02:34All over the country.
02:36Doc, nabanggit mo yung laganap na yung fake news
02:39at earlier you mentioned prevention and treatment.
02:42Can you give us specific examples?
02:45Ano po yung mga pangunahing kampanya
02:47o programa ng asosasyon
02:48para maiwasan ang ating mga kababayan
02:50ng sakit sa puso?
02:53Oo. So, every, ano naman,
02:56walang katapusan itong aming mga lectures
02:59sa mga chapters namin,
03:01sa mga laymen, no?
03:03Sa mga pasyente,
03:04kung ano talaga
03:05ang dapat, paano maiwasan,
03:09paano bigyan ng tamang gamot, no?
03:13At saka, ano yung mga
03:15myths or misconceptions
03:17na minsan hindi natin maiwasan,
03:20nangyayari pa rin,
03:22lalo na ngayon sa social media, no?
03:24So, ito yung isang way
03:27para makatulong ang PHA
03:28para yung mga maling konsepto,
03:31maling paniniwala
03:32na minsan,
03:34akala ng mga pasyente natin totoo,
03:36ito yung kinocorrect namin
03:39as a member ng
03:42Philippine Heart Association.
03:45Doc, paano po hinaharap
03:47ng Philippine Heart Association
03:49ang pagtaas ng kaso
03:51ng cardiovascular diseases sa badsa
03:53at follow-up question lang po.
03:55Kasama po ba,
03:56saklaw po ba dyan
03:57ang broken heart syndrome
03:58dahil February po,
03:59malapit ng Valentine's Day?
04:03Oo, tama ka.
04:05Ang isang paraan
04:06para talaga malaganap
04:08ang aming advocacies
04:09and programs
04:10is increasing the number of chapters
04:13all over the country.
04:14Alam niyo po,
04:15ang cardiologist
04:16to the number of Filipinos,
04:18sa ngayon,
04:19one cardiology
04:20for every 44,000 Filipino patients.
04:23So, talagang
04:24napakaliit pa rin
04:25ang ating
04:26cardiology numbers.
04:30So, one way,
04:30and karamihan dito
04:31are still 50%
04:33nasa National Capital Region.
04:35So, what we are doing now
04:36is to increase
04:38the number of chapters
04:39at saka
04:40encouraging
04:41our cardiologists
04:42to serve
04:44the underserved areas
04:45all over the country.
04:46And we now have
04:47three new chapters
04:48sa provincial chapters
04:50and we are coming up
04:51hopefully
04:51with sub-chapter
04:53sa mga areas
04:54na wala tayo
04:55ang cardio
04:55like Basilan,
04:56Sulutawi-Tawi,
04:58magkakaroon tayo
04:58ng sub-chapter dyan.
05:00Then,
05:01yung sinasabi niyong
05:02holiday heart syndrome,
05:03of course,
05:03kasama ito
05:04sa aming mga
05:06pinaparemind
05:09sa ating mga
05:10patients,
05:11yung mga
05:12sobrang
05:13pagtake
05:14lang,
05:14alam mo,
05:15yung parties
05:16and everything,
05:17they can
05:18lead to
05:19holiday heart syndrome.
05:20Nagkakaroon minsan
05:21ng biglaan
05:21pag-develop
05:22ng heart failure,
05:24yun nga,
05:25yung condition na yun,
05:26yung holiday heart syndrome.
05:28So, lahat ito
05:28aming
05:29ina-address na ngayon
05:31sa Philippine Heart Association.
05:33Sama rin dapat pala
05:34yung broken heart
05:34kasi pagka talaga
05:35sa wika sa pag-ibig
05:36talaga nakakastress.

05:58Phil Cardio Registry.
05:59Ito yung
06:01tinitinan natin
06:01yung number of patients
06:03admitted sa hospital
06:04all over the country
06:05na merong heart disease.
06:07Itong Phil Cardio Registry.
06:09We conducted this.
06:10We just finished
06:12actually last month.
06:13We enrolled
06:13almost 4,000 patients
06:15from Luzon
06:16besides Mindanao.
06:17Merong seven
06:18research sites
06:19all over the country.
06:20So,
06:21we will be presenting
06:22the results
06:22dito sa aming
06:23Phil Cardio Registry
06:25sa annual
06:26heart convention

06:30That will be
06:30the biggest
06:31annual convention
06:32ng PHA.
06:34And of course,
06:35hindi lang
06:35nagsisimula ito dito.
06:37This is just
06:37a take-off
06:38research study.
06:39After this,
06:40tuloy-tuloy na po ito
06:41itong registry
06:41ng mga cardiovascular
06:42diseases
06:43sa all over the country
06:45hanggang sa
06:46every year na ito
06:47that we will be conducting.
06:49And of course,
06:50we also have
06:51collaborations
06:51with the PhilHealth.
06:53Yung aming mga packages
06:54para sa mga
06:56heart diseases
06:57na i-cover
06:58ni PhilHealth.
06:59Meron tayong
07:00yung talagang
07:01ginawa na last year
07:02yung mga
07:02heart attack packages.
07:04Yung mga
07:04nagkaroon ng
07:05heart attack
07:06binibigyan ng
07:06PhilHealth
07:07ng free program

07:22i-cover

07:30since last year.

08:48members
08:49regarding what's
08:50new
08:50in the
08:51cardiovascular
08:51medicine.
08:53Doc,
08:53balikan ko lang
08:54ng bagya
08:54yung binanggit mo
08:55kanina
08:55tungkol sa mga
08:56naglipana
08:56na misconception
08:57sa social media.
08:59Ano po yung
09:00mga main
09:01challenges
09:01na kinakarap
09:02ko ng asosasyon
09:03in terms of
09:04information
09:05dissemination
09:06pagdating sa
09:06tamang pangangalagaan
09:08ng kalusugan
09:08ng puso
09:09at ano yung
09:10ginagawa nating
09:10hakbang
09:11para mapaiting
09:12yung kamalayan
09:13ng ating mga
09:13kababayan
09:14sa pangangalagaan
09:15ng ating mga puso?
09:16Yes,
09:17oo,
09:17tama.
09:17Kasi alam mo,
09:18minsan,
09:20yung mga pasyente
09:21na may mga
09:22pangalas
09:22sa mga kaibigan,
09:23sa mga kapitbahay
09:24na no-offensement
09:26na hindi naman po talagang,
09:27alam mo yun,
09:28doctors or even
09:29allied health,
09:30kaibigan lang
09:31sasabihin na
09:31ganyan,
09:32ganyan,
09:33huwag nyong inumin.
09:34So,
09:34ito a point na parang
09:35naapektuhan
09:36yung pag-inom
09:37ng gamot
09:38ng pasyente,
09:38tinitigil
09:39na dapat sana
09:40lifelong medication.
09:42So,
09:43ang tanging paraan
09:44dito is
09:45always
09:45yung regular
09:46ang aming
09:47dissemination

10:04fake news.
10:05Kasi,
10:06malaking bagay ito.
10:07Minsan kasi talagang
10:09hindi may iwasan
10:10yung mga pasyente,
10:11mas paniniwalaan pa
10:12yung mga kaibigan
10:13rather than the
10:14healthcare professionals
10:16na tulad natin.
10:17And,
10:17of course,
10:17we also have our website,
10:19our social media page.
10:21Sinasama namin
