Congestive Heart Failure PSA
Storyboard Text
- Hey! I'm going to go for a run if you want to come with me.
- Nah I'm good, I'm going to sit here and eat my food.
- Make sure you're taking care of your health, eating all that junk food and sitting around is going to cause you some serious problems.
- Oh I'm fine, nothing is going to happen to me.
- And you seriously need to drop that cigarette! Those are awful for you!!
- they're not even that bad!
- You don't know that! CHF is a serious problem that affects nearly 1.8% of U.S citizens, but the percentage is rapidly increasing!!
- What's CHF?
- Congestive Heart Failure, it's a serious heart disease that's caused by reduced blood flow.
- Reduced blood flow? My blood is flowing fine! I'm still alive.
- For now, poor diet, and smoking, can lead to blocked arteries!! That's a one-way ticket to CHF.
- Oh wow… uhm well how do you even know this is a real thing? They could be MAKING IT ALL UP?!
- Well for starters, oftentimes CHF leads to something called PAH, which is the result of restricted blood flow, aka clotted arteries. Even after CHF is cured, PAH is still something that occurs. 1-3 patients who are diagnosed with PAH die within 10 years of the original diagnosis.
- Oh gosh... Well maybe I should be more careful… What can I do to make sure this doesn't happen?
- well, keeping a healthy diet, eating fewer fatty foods, having a more regular exercise schedule, and quitting nasty habits like smoking! So, are you sure you don't want to go on that run with me?
- … Let me go change!
