May 31st, World No Tobacco Day, is an important global initiative focused on awareness and prevention. Supported by the World Health Organization (WHO), its goal is to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking and encourage smoking cessation.
At Euromedica, we place great emphasis on prevention and early diagnosis through specialized diagnostic screenings.
Smoking and Health – Key Risks
Smoking is one of the most significant risk factors for serious diseases, including:
• Lung cancer
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Stroke
Early prevention can significantly reduce the risk of developing these conditions.
Preventive Screenings for Smokers at Euromedica
At Euromedica diagnostic centers, we offer comprehensive check-up programs for smokers and former smokers, aiming at the early detection of potential health issues. These include the following preventive screenings:
Lung Assessment
• Spirometry (respiratory function test)
• Evaluation for early signs of COPD by a Pulmonology Specialist
Chest Imaging
• Chest X-ray
• Low-Dose CT Scan
• Ultra-Low-Dose CT Scan for high-risk groups
Cardiological Evaluation
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Heart Triplex Ultrasound (Echocardiography)
• Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
Laboratory Testing
• Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Biochemical Testing
• Inflammation and Metabolism Markers
Smoking Cessation & Prevention: The Key to Better Health
Quitting smoking, combined with regular preventive screening, reduces the risk of serious diseases, improves respiratory and cardiovascular function, and significantly enhances quality of life.
Do not wait for symptoms to appear. Prevention is the best treatment. Contact one of the Euromedica diagnostic centers and book your appointment either by phone or online through the “Book an Appointment” form.
