Oxiris Chemicals also wants to give visibility to World Heart Day for several reasons.
 
– According to WHO data, heart disease (heart attacks and strokes) claims more than 17 million lives a year, making it the second leading cause of death after road traffic accidents.
 
– With public places and workplaces being the environments in which we spend the most time, they are the places where cardiovascular accidents are most likely to occur.
 
– In addition, certain activities involving stress, physical exertion or accumulated fatigue are factors that can contribute to development of heart disease.
 
The hopeful news is that approximately 90% of these deaths can be avoided by making certain adjustments to our personal and social habits.
 
IN CASE OF CARDIAC ARREST, the rapid intervention with an automated external defibrillator (AED) CAN SAVE LIVES.
 
Oxiris Chemicals is aware of this, and in addition to the cardiovascular health campaigns it carries out periodically, since 2015 it has had AED devices in its facilities and is responsible for providing the necessary training, provided by authorized medical personnel, for their correct use.
