(Adnkronos) - “Dopo l’infarto è aumentata da parte mia l’attenzione alle analisi del sangue, soprattutto ad alcuni valori che è determinante controllare per chi ha avuto problemi cardiologici come me. È importante ascoltare sempre i medici e i cardiologi perché, passata la paura, si tende a volersi autogestire”. Lo afferma Antonio Rossi, campione olimpico di canoa, partecipando alla campagna Novartis ‘Da quore a cuore’.

00:00During a bike crash, after the refueling, I had a bad feeling. I thought it was a congestion.
00:13Actually, my whole body didn't work anymore. I felt that something was wrong.
00:19So I stopped, I called the ambulance and they immediately did a check-up and I was having a heart attack.
00:24Since then, my second life began. I realized that I was no longer the athlete who won the Olympics, but that I could also be subject to these unforeseen events.
00:39So I had surgery, they put me on a stent and from there my treatment began.
00:44Now I pay more attention to blood tests, especially on some values that are important to control for those who have had cardiological problems like me.
00:56Certainly, for those who have had problems in the family, if it is genetic, for those who have had problems, to be checked.
01:08I think this is very important, to check blood tests and to follow the advice of the doctor.
01:19For those who have already had heart problems like me, to continue to take good care of themselves.
01:26After the fear, you often tend to want to self-manage.
01:32Instead, the opinion of the doctor, of the cardiologist, is decisive.
01:37And if they have some contradictions about the medicine they take, they must endure them because the risk is even greater if they do not take it.
