The hundred-page HS Theme presents major breakthroughs in heart research, advises guidelines for good heart health and explains why the heart became a symbol of love.
In January 1971 Governor of North Karelia Esa Timonen led by a petition to the government. In North Karelia, especially young men died exceptionally young, something had to be done.
One of the most significant health projects in Finnish society was founded, the North Karelia project, which was headed by a young doctor Pekka Puska.
More than 50 years have now passed since the project, and its results are excellent. The eating habits of Finns have revolutionized and life expectancy has increased. People are living healthier and older than ever.
HS Theme, which has just been published, tells about the function of the human heart and the great advances in medicine. In a long article, Pekka Puska opens up how the North Karelia project actually succeeded despite great resistance. The project became Puska's life's work, the results of which are now known all over the world.
Heart diseases are still the leading cause of death for Finns, but medical research is developing rapidly. If a Finn had a heart attack in the 1960s or 1970s, the prognosis was bad. Today, even heart transplant patients may return to work soon after the transplant operation. In an interview with Teema, a person who underwent a heart transplant tells his own story Harri Turunen.
Sydän-Tema offers many perspectives. In the voice are the best experts and many well-known Finns. Restaurateur Sikke Sumari talks about the broken heart syndrome, which can be the result of a great deal of emotional turmoil. More is being learned about the phenomenon all the time. Finlandia award-winning author Jukka Viikilä writes in his essay how heart diseases are also social and political diseases.
The theme's stories tell how a common heart attack is treated in Finland today and how everyone can take care of their own heart.
A person actually has two hearts. The first pumps blood throughout the body. The other one is a symbol of love, the most used emoji and one of the most famous signs invented by man. HS The theme explains how exactly the heart became like that.
HS Theme is published six times a year separately ordered magazine. The next issue, which will be published in June, tells the story of a running legend Paavo from Nurme and the Paris Olympics.
