'India is now the Chronic Heart Disease capital of the world' warns CSI. Starting from 29th September 2022, the CSI will be reaching out to one million population across India to create awareness regarding sudden cardiac death.
The highest number of CVD deaths occurred in China, followed by India, Russia, the US and Indonesia. At the country level, age-standardized mortality rates for total CVD were lowest in France, Peru and Japan where rates were six-fold lower in 2019 than in 1990.
Coronary (ischaemic) heart disease is the most commonly diagnosed heart disease worldwide. It's estimated around 200 million people are living with coronary heart disease. Globally around 110 million men and 80 million women have coronary heart disease.
The healthiest hearts in the world have been found in the Tsimane people in the forests of Bolivia, say researchers. Barely any Tsimane had signs of clogged up arteries - even well into old age - a study in the Lancet showed.
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, killing 375,476 people in 2021.
Coronary heart disease
angina – chest pain caused by restricted blood flow to the heart muscle. heart attacks – where the blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked. heart failure – where the heart is unable to pump blood around the body properly.
Introduction. Japan has the lowest coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rate in the world [1].
Males in Hong Kong have the lowest death rate for cardiovascular disease, the Russian Federation rate being about six times greater. For females, the lowest death rates are found in France, Hong Kong and Japan. All of these countries have rates less than a quarter of those in the Russian Federation.
African countries have the lowest cholesterol, some as low as 4 mmol/L. Among western high-income countries, Greece has the lowest cholesterol for both men and women (below 5 mmol/L). USA, Canada, and Sweden also had low cholesterol. The UK's cholesterol is ninth highest in the world, slightly below 5.5 mmol/L.
However, higher pro-inflammatory status reflected by hsCRP and contribution of higher levels of hypertension, BMI and WHR (among women); smoking (among men); and diabetes are very likely to contribute to explaining the high coronary heart disease mortality in Russia.
The French paradox is usually attributed to the higher consumption of alcohol in France, notably of wine,2–5 and some have suggested a specific effect of red wine. In this article we assess quantitatively the extent to which this and other possible explanations can account for the low rate of heart disease in France.
Low obesity, low intake of saturated fatty acids, and high intakes of marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, plant foods such as soybeans and nonsugar-sweetened beverages such as green tea may contribute to low cancer and ischemic heart disease mortality.
Various studies have revealed that countries like Japan, Korea, and France have the lowest heart-related issues and it is all because of the type of lifestyle they follow: So here is a list of eight things that the people of these countries do to keep their heart healthy.
Black adults are more likely than white adults to die from a heart attack. Asian adults are less likely than other groups to have coronary artery disease. But there are some differences by ethnicity. Asian Indian men, Filipino men and Filipino women have a higher risk compared with white people.
According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, each of the top modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular disease—namely, high systolic blood pressure, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, tobacco smoking, high body-mass index (BMI), and high fasting plasma glucose—is accountable for 0·5–2·4 million deaths due to ...
Although South Asians have lower obesity rates, they tend to have higher levels of visceral and hepatic fat. In other words, they are more likely to store fat deep in their abdomens, wrapped around organs or in their liver, instead of just beneath the skin, known as subcutaneous fat.
Mortality and morbidity from CVD are reduced in Italy, as compared to worldwide estimates (age-standardized mortality rate 113/100,000 vs. 233/100,000; age-standardized rate of DALYs lost 1764/100,000 vs. 4598/100,000).
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of heart attacks. CHD is a condition in which the coronary arteries (the major blood vessels that supply the heart with blood) become clogged with deposits of cholesterol.
Unfortunately, there isn't a cure for coronary artery disease, and you can't reverse this condition once you're diagnosed. But you can make lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of developing further health problems, such as a heart attack.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Heart attacks do not discriminate — women are just as likely to have a heart attack as men are. But women are more likely than men to die from one. Studies show it often comes down to recognizing symptoms of a heart attack — or not.
