Hospiten, sponsor of Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB®: preventing heart disease and promoting cardiovascular health at an early age
A partnership that puts health at the centre
The Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB® is an event that mobilises thousands of people and transmits values of self-improvement, wellbeing and healthy habits. Likewise, Hospiten's sponsorship helps us promote prevention messages, especially when it comes to sport at an early age.
Hospiten has added a new Paediatric Cardiology Unit to enhance preventive care from an early age at its Hospiten Rambla, Bellevue, and Sur University Hospitals. paediatric cardiology website
New Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology Unit: what does it focus on?
This unit focuses on a comprehensive approach to:
• Heart conditions present at birth and in children. paediatric cardiology website.
• Adult patients with specific congenital anomalies. paediatric cardiology website
• Screening healthy children for possible undetected heart problems. paediatric cardiology website ** Sport is key... and so is prevention**
Although these situations are rare, there are cardiac predispositions that can manifest themselves with high-intensity physical activity (e.g. in competitive and high-load sports). Sport-oriented cardiac screening aims to identify potential pathologies and prevent future medical issues. paediatric cardiology website. Furthermore, sedentary lifestyles currently pose one of the greatest health challenges, and sport is an essential pillar in preventing future illnesses: the idea is that young people can enjoy physical activity with the maximum level of safety possible. paediatric cardiology website.
Cardiovascular Sports Screening: safe to compete, train and enjoy
As the campaign states, "if they leave their heart on the field, leave it in our hands": with the Cardiovascular Sports Screening, the hearts of young people are checked so that they can compete, train and enjoy themselves in complete safety. CardiologiaPediatrica-280x300mm
