September 29, the World Heart Day, is a day dedicated to raising awareness about heart health and fighting cardiovascular disease (which sadly, still stands as the world’s number one cause of death). In India alone, more than 7,00,000 lives are lost annually to sudden cardiac death, many of which could have been prevented with timely detection and lifestyle changes.
This year, Oxymed Hospital has taken a powerful step forward with a campaign that could change the way we look at heart health: “The Power of Zero.” At its core is a simple yet life-saving message telling us to get screened before it’s too late. Using calcium scoring through CT angiograms, Oxymed is putting prevention in your hands, helping people discover hidden risks before they become fatal.
Your heart works 24/7, never taking a break, yet most of us wait until we have chest pain or shortness of breath to get it checked. World Heart Day 2025 is your reminder that prevention is always better than a cure. By getting early screenings, making smart lifestyle choices, and opting for advanced technology, you can dramatically lower your chances of becoming another statistic.
Why is sudden cardiac death called the “silent killer”? Why can’t genetic conditions be ignored? What does Oxymed’s “Power of Zero” mean for you, and how can you take advantage of their exclusive ₹6999 Heart Health Package this September? Let us tell you how you can protect the most important muscle in your body- your heart.

Can a young professional in their mid-30s who is fit, active, with no known health problems suddenly collapse during a morning jog? By the time help arrives, it’s too late. Sadly, this isn’t a rare story. Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is often referred to as the “silent killer” because it strikes without warning, and in many cases, victims have no idea they were even at risk.
The underlying causes of SCD vary, but the most common ones include:
What makes SCD particularly heartbreaking is that it doesn’t discriminate. It affects men and women, young and old, and athletes and non-athletes alike. The tragedy lies in the fact that many of these deaths could have been prevented with regular health check-ups, early screenings, and proactive care.
You wouldn’t wait for your car to break down in the middle of the highway before checking the oil or servicing it. Yet, with our hearts, we often wait until something goes wrong. By the time symptoms appear, the risk of fatality is much higher.
That’s why Oxymed Hospital is driving home a crucial message this World Heart Day: Don’t wait for the warning signs. Act now. Even if you feel perfectly healthy, getting your heart screened can reveal silent risks that might otherwise go unnoticed. Prevention doesn’t just save lives, it saves futures, families, and peace of mind.
We often think of heart disease as something that comes with age, stress, or poor lifestyle habits. But here’s the harsh reality: genetic heart conditions don’t follow those rules. They can strike at any age, even in young, active individuals who appear perfectly healthy.
If you have a family history of heart attacks, high cholesterol, or sudden unexplained deaths, your risks are significantly higher. In such cases, no amount of healthy eating or daily jogging can guarantee safety unless you pair it with early detection. Genetics loads the gun, and lifestyle pulls the trigger.
For example, a 25-year-old athlete with inherited high cholesterol might be silently building dangerous plaque in their arteries. Without regular screening, the first sign of trouble could be a fatal heart attack. That’s why Oxymed emphasizes:
Early Screening = Early Protection.
Unlike lifestyle-related issues that develop slowly, genetic conditions are like hidden landmines, you never know when they might go off. But the good news is that screening tests like CT angiograms with calcium scoring can identify risks long before symptoms appear.
Oxymed’s World Heart Day campaign highlights this very important detail that people miss- Don’t let family history decide your future. Just because your father or grandmother struggled with heart disease doesn’t mean you have to follow the same path. With proactive care, you can rewrite your story.
So, if heart problems run in your family, this is your wake-up call. Don’t wait until you feel something is wrong. Book that screening, take control, and give yourself the best chance at a long, healthy life.

When it comes to heart health, the word “zero” has never carried so much power. Oxymed’s 2025 campaign or The Power of Zero revolves around the concept of calcium scoring through CT angiograms.
Think of calcium scoring as your heart’s report card. A score of zero gives you peace of mind, while a higher score provides valuable insight so doctors can design a personalized prevention plan for you. Either way, you win.
Why is this so important? Because traditional health check-ups may not reveal early plaque buildup. You could have “normal” cholesterol and still be at risk. The calcium score test bridges that gap, offering a clearer picture of your heart’s true condition.
Oxymed wants people to understand that knowing your score today can save your life tomorrow. It’s not about scaring you into unnecessary tests. It’s about having all the information that could prevent a tragedy.
So this World Heart Day, Oxymed invites you to choose the Power of Zero. Whether your score is zero or higher, the test equips you with knowledge and knowledge is the most powerful tool in protecting your heart.
Heart health shouldn’t be a privilege; it should be accessible to everyone. That’s why Oxymed Hospital has rolled out special World Heart Day packages designed to encourage more people to take preventive action without worrying about cost.
Now, here’s why this package matters: most people don’t get screenings because they assume it’s either too expensive or unnecessary. But this is an investment in your life. The cost of ignoring your heart is far greater, both emotionally and financially.
₹6999 is less than what many of us spend on a new smartphone, yet this package could save you from a heart attack, costly hospital bills, or worse. By bundling advanced diagnostics with consultations, Oxymed ensures you get a complete picture of your heart health in one go.
And let’s be honest, sometimes, we all need a little nudge to take action. That’s what this package provides. It removes excuses and makes it easier for people to say, “Yes, I’ll get my heart checked.”
