EPIDEMIOLOGY and overview of cardiac DISEASE
INTRODUCTION
The 20th century saw unparalleled increase in life expectancy & major shift in the cause of illness throughout the world
GLOBAL BURDEN OF CVD.
A century ago, CVD death <10% Today, approximately 30% of deaths
worldwide including nearly 40% in high income countries and about 28% in low and middle income countries

PREVALENCE
The prevalence of CHD is about 7.4% in men and 4.5% in women.
The prevalence is higher in lower socio-economic groups.
Of note, mortality from CHD is falling but morbidity appears to be rising.
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF IHD MORTALITY RATES-UK
CHD is the most common cause of death (and premature death) in the UK
1 in 5 men and 1 in 6 women die from CHD
Contd…
There are 101,000 deaths from CHD in the UK each year.
Death rates from CHD have fallen by 46% for people under 65 years in the last 10 years in UK, Australia (48%) and Norway (54%).
Death from CHD is more likely during winter.
MORBIDITY RATES IN UK
The average incidence of Myocardial Infarction is 600 per 100,000 in men aged 30-69 and 200 per 100,000 in women. The incidence increases with age
There are about 52,000 new cases of Angina per year in all men living in the UK and about 43,000 new cases in women

NEWS ALERT

compared to the Western population
Beyond the age of 50, the risk of heart attack per year approximately 2-3 per 1000

80 % of global CVD related deaths now occur in low and middle-income nations, which covers most countries in Asia

OUR FUTURE
The World Health Organization estimated that 60 % of the world's cardiac patients will be Indian by 2010
50 % of CVD-related deaths in India occur below the age of 70, compared with just 22 % in the West
Contd…
CVD will increase rapidly in India and this country will be host to more than half the cases of heart disease in the world within the next 15 years
RESEARCH EXCERPTS
South Asians have elevated levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while also suffering from a deficiency in HDL cholesterol
South Asians seem more naturally vulnerable to heart disease than other ethnic groups
Contd…
The disease occurs at a much younger age in Indians as compared to those in North America and Western Europe
In general, the incidence of all rhythm problems is 8-10 per 1000 people
VITAL STATISTICS-WHO
2 million people die of CVD in India every year
32 % are in the age group 35-44. Four Indians die of a heart ailment every
minute

CURRENT WORLDWIDE VARIATIONS
Currently 85 % of the world’s population lives in low and middle income countries.
About 30 % of the world’s population lives in East Asia and the pacific islands and another 22 % live in south Asia.
CORONARY ARTERY DISEASEIN WOMEN
Stroke and MI- Number one killer of women with 500,000 deaths per year
First myocardial infarction in women is more severe and more lethal than they are in men.
Contd…
Women’s mortality rate at 6 months post myocardial infarction double that of men
Coronary artery bypass surgery operative mortality 4.5% women, 2.6% men

Heart disease or cardiopathy is an umbrella term for a variety of different diseases affecting the heart
Cardiovascular disease is any of a number of specific diseases that affect the heart itself and/or the blood vessel system, especially the veins and arteries leading to and from the heart.
Types of cardiovascular disease
Atherosclerosis Ischaemic heart disease Heart failure Hypertensive heart disease Include:Left ventricular hypertrophy Coronary heart disease (Congestive) heart failure Hypertensive cardiomyopathy Cardiac arrhythmias
Inflammatory heart disease Valvular heart disease
Risk factors hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol
(hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia), obesity, sedentary lifestyle, male gender, increasing age, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, long-term stress, smoking and heredity
high C-protein levels & high
homocysteine levels
Signs and symptoms · chest pain or abdominal distress · cough · cyanosis · enlarged veins in the neck · fainting · loss of appetite · palpitations · shortness of breath · swelling in the legs · weakness and fatigue
Diagnosis
History
Physical examination blood and urine tests · cardiac catheterization, a special X-ray done with a
contrast agent to look at the heart and its blood supply · chest X-ray · echocardiogram, which uses sound waves to view the
beating heart · electrocardiogram, or EKG, which shows the electrical
activity of the heart · stress EKG tests, in which the person either walks on
a treadmill or receives a medicine while the effects on the heart are examined with an EKG or imaging test
CONCLUSION
It is possible that the efficient transfer of low-cost preventive and therapeutic strategies may alter the natural course of the epidemiological transition in every part of the world and thus reduce the excess global burden of preventable CVD
