Professor Khaled Al-Nemer, a consultant and professor of cardiology and arterial catheterization, has renewed his warning about the dangers of heart disease.

Al-Nemer stated on the X platform that heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, despite all medical advancements.

The cardiology consultant emphasized that prevention and raising public health awareness about heart disease are the most important investments anyone can make for their health.

Al-Nemer also advised heart patients that sleeping longer on weekends does not compensate for lack of sleep during the workweek; while it may reduce drowsiness, it does not reverse all the metabolic and neurological changes caused by chronic sleep deprivation
