On World Heart Day, 29 September, the Bulgarian Society of Cardiology released the results of a social survey at a press conference in Varna. The survey was conducted by telephone interview from 17 June to 3 July among 9,835 respondents, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports. According to the survey, commissioned by the Bulgarian Society of Cardiology, around 20% of people over the age of 18 in the country admit they have sought medical assistance for cardiological problems and/or diabetes, most often for arterial hypertension which affects 50% of all people with no cardiological problem.  

The 17th national congress of the Bulgarian Society of Cardiology is to begin later today in the Black Sea resort of Albena. The congress is expected to be attended, in person and virtually, by almost 1,000 specialists from the country and abroad.
