(Adnkronos) - “Nell’apnea cuore e respiro sono fondamentali e per noi il respiro è qualcosa di troppe volte scontato. Sapere che alcuni pazienti devono affrontare una limitazione così debilitante mi ha portato ad entrare in contatto diretto con loro e a dare il mio contributo per sensibilizzare su un tema così importante”. Così Alessia Zecchini, campionessa mondiale di apnea e testimonial della campagna “Al Cuore del Respiro. Ipertensione arteriosa polmonare, conoscila in profondità” promossa da Msd con il patrocinio di Amip, Associazione Malati Ipertensione Polmonare e Aipi, Associazione Ipertensione Polmonare Italiana, presentata a Roma.

00:00What is the importance of the heart and the breath?
00:04In my discipline, the heart and the breath are fundamental parts.
00:08For us, the breath is something that is too often taken for granted.
00:13Knowing that some patients have to face a really weakening limitation
00:19has led me to be in direct contact with them.
00:24I wanted to participate to give my contribution
00:26and I tried to raise awareness on such an important issue.
00:29The journey that the patient has to face is within himself,
00:32facing his own fears, his own physical limitations,
00:35and this must never be done alone.
00:38As an athlete, you must be followed by a team,
00:40the patient must be followed by a team of specialists,
00:43and thanks to research, you can improve a lifestyle,
00:47a condition that is too often weakening.
00:51For me, it was a great honor, an immense pleasure,
00:54to be able to participate in the Heart and Breath campaign.
