Late detection of heart disease is the main cause of heart disease deaths in India. By the time all the patients reach the doctor, it is too late. Experts believe that people who have heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes, or have a history of heart disease in the family, such people, if they are regularly checked, then deaths due to heart diseases Can be avoided

Heart Disease

Dr. Sandeep Seth, Professor of AIIMS, says that 50 percent of the patients who die of heart disease are those who are diagnosed late. Then there are also many patients who do not take medicines prescribed by the doctor. It can also be stopped by making lifestyle changes, but people do not do it.

By the way, being a victim of heart related diseases does not mean that life will end. Patients can lead normal lives with medicines and lifestyle improvements. Dr. Sandeep Mishra, citing the report of THFR, Medanta Registry and Inter-CHF, states that the average age of heart patients in India is lower than the US patients of heart.

According to the THFR report, the age is 61.2 years, 58.9 years according to the Medanta Registry and 56 years according to the Inter-CHF. According to the US ADHERE Registry, the average age of a heart patient there is 72.6 years. If the root causes such as rheumatoid arthritis and high blood pressure are detected and treated in time, the number of deaths from heart-related diseases can be reduced.

Awareness
Needs Sanjay Murdeswar, MD of Novartis in India, says that heart disease can lead to death. The disease follows for a long time. It is estimated that 26 million people worldwide and 8 million to 10 million people in India suffer from the disease. Most people in India are admitted to the hospital because of heart-related diseases. The main reason for this disease is lack of adequate awareness among the people.

As part of this effort, we are working with the Times of India Group to spread awareness about the symptoms and diagnosis of heart related diseases. About 60 percent of heart patients do not receive treatment or are treated incorrectly. Heart patients can be kept away from the hospital due to timely treatment. They can live longer and lead a better life.

Have you ever thought that you may have a heart attack but you do not even know about it. You may have felt strange to hear this, but it is true. This type of heart attack is called silent heart attack and its symptoms do not come out open or emerging. For example, when a 70-year-old woman had a heart attack and the doctors examined her at the hospital, it was found out that it was not her first heart attack. Tests conducted to investigate the damage done to Hart revealed that Hart also had some dead muscles due to a previous heart attack that had not been identified.

Heart Attack

Doctors said that the woman had a silent myocardial infarction or SMI in the past. It is called silent because no symptoms occur during this period that require a visit to a doctor or medical attention. There are millions of people all over the world who fall prey to this type of silent heart attack. In such people, the risk of severe heart attack increases significantly, which increases the risk of their death.

When, why and how SMI is a common heart attack, it is like a warning that the patient needs to change his lifestyle so that cardiac risk can be reduced. For this, along with diet and exercise, necessary medicines are also given. Some studies conducted in Iceland and Finland in the past have tried to find out how SMI ie silent myocardial infarction occurs, when it occurs and what and how it can result.

SMI was held in 1322 out of 5869 people
In July 2019, a study published in the journal JAMA Cardiology included autopsy reports of 5 thousand 869 women and men. The average age of all of them was 65 years and they all died suddenly in northern Finland. Out of 5869 people, evidence of silent heart attack was found in 1 thousand 322 people and there was no coronary heart disease in any of these people. According to the Authors of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, people who have silent heart attack are unaware of its symptoms so they are unable to control their physical exertion.

There are some mild symptoms that should not be ignored.According to
Northwestern University cardiologist Dr. Robert O Bono, a silent heart attack is not always silent, but it also shows some symptoms such as feeling of chest discomfort, heartburn. Dizziness, shortness of breath, etc. Such things happen to a large number of people in the coming days, but people ignore it as a problem of minor gas or acid. Especially in women, such symptoms are unclear or unknown and they do not even know that they have had a heart attack.
