Cases of heart related diseases are increasing rapidly in India

In India, heart disease has increased very fast in the last 27 years which is revealed by new studies. Detailed estimates from 1990 to 2016 of heart and blood vessel diseases in every state of India show that these diseases have increased, but their prevalence varies considerably in different states. Of the total deaths in India, deaths due to cardiovascular diseases and paralysis were 15.2 percent in 1990, which has increased to 28.1 percent in 2016. Of the total deaths, 17.8 percent were due to heart disease and 7.1 percent to paralysis. The ratio of death and disability due to heart disease is significantly higher in men than women, but the paralysis was found equally in men and women.

At the same time, the number of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases in the country increased from 13 lakh in 1990 to 28 lakh in 2016. The number of patients with these diseases has increased from 2.57 crore in 1990 to 5.45 crore in 2016. Their prevalence was highest in Kerala, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. After this, more cases have also been found in Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Goa, and West Bengal. In 2016, more than half of the total deaths due to cardiovascular diseases in India were under 70 years of age. According to a research scientist, studies show that every state should have proper management in this context.

Heart-Related Diseases in India- A small Glance

  • Nearly 20 crores under 30 years of age are hypertensive patients
  • 19% of the total deaths each year are related to heart disease.
  • Getting treatment within four to five hours of a heart attack is very important
  • After an attack, up to 60% of the heart’s capacity is affected.

Due to the unorganized lifestyle, stress, pollution etc. every fourth youth of the country stands on the threshold of a heart attack. Of these, more than half of the youth do not even know about their disease. This is the reason why only 10 percent of young patients are reaching the hospital for treatment.

According to the report, one in every four youth in the country has high blood pressure. If it is not treated for a long time, it affects the heart. Due to the pressure of about three times the capacity, the pumping of the heart is affected and the patient becomes vulnerable to a heart attack. On the basis of this report, the central government has also started a national program for free screening for hypertension patients in 100 districts of the country.

Symptoms of a Heart Attack

According to the doctors, the biggest symptom of heart attack is considered – severe chest pain. Often in a film scene, whenever someone has a heart attack, he grips his chest loudly, due to pain, his eyes start to look nervous and he falls to the ground. We all feel that after a heart attack, we will feel like our chest is being crushed. There is such a feeling, but not always.

When there is no supply of blood to the heart, a heart attack occurs. Usually, due to any obstruction in the path of our arteries, the blood does not reach the heart, which is why there is severe pain in the chest. But sometimes there is no pain in a heart attack. This is called a silent heart attack.
