##### Paras Health Udaipur Leads Heart Awareness with ‘Don’t Miss a Beat’ Marathon on World Heart Day 2025

Udaipur,  On the occasion of World Heart Day 2025, Paras Health Udaipur is organizing a community marathon on September 28 under the theme “Don’t Miss a Beat”. The initiative aims to spread awareness about heart health and promote a healthy lifestyle. The marathon will commence from the hospital campus, beginning at the Fish Aquarium near Fatehsagar, covering PP Singhal Marg, and concluding again at the Fish Aquarium. With dedicated categories for students, health-conscious citizens, professionals, senior citizens, and healthcare workers, the event is expected to unite the entire city in the cause of heart wellness.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to be the leading cause of death globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 19.8 million lives are lost every year due to these illnesses, accounting for about 32% of total global deaths. Of these, 85% are linked to heart attacks and strokes. With numbers rising, community-level awareness and preventive action have become more crucial than ever. The marathon is taking place at a vital moment, highlighting the importance of timely check-ups, lifestyle modifications, and regular health screenings to reduce the risk of heart diseases.

Speaking about the initiative, Dr. Amit Khandelwal, Director & HOD, Cardiology (Interventional), Paras Health Udaipur, said:
“Amid the alarming rise in heart-related illnesses, we must actively promote prevention. Through this marathon, we want to demonstrate how regular exercise, a balanced diet, and timely health check-ups can significantly reduce heart disease risks. In addition, advanced diagnostics like CT Coronary Angiography play a crucial role in early detection and effective treatment. Programs like this empower people to take responsibility for their heart health and make smarter, sustainable lifestyle choices.”

Adding further, Dr. Prasoon Kumar, Facility Director, Paras Health Udaipur, stated:
“At Paras Health, our constant endeavor has been to prioritize the well-being of society. This marathon is not just about fitness, but about uniting people for a common goal—healthy hearts. We encourage individuals to take small but consistent steps towards better health, preventing serious illnesses, and building an aware and healthier community.”

The marathon route will pass through prominent areas of Udaipur, offering participants of all ages a scenic and meaningful journey. Multiple race categories will ensure inclusivity for everyone. Alongside the run, Paras Health Udaipur will also host an energetic Zumba session and a Health Talk, where cardiologists will share simple and essential tips for maintaining heart wellness. A free Heart Health Check-up Camp will also be set up on the occasion, adding greater value to this initiative.
