Timely treatment can reduce deaths due to heart disease
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
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.
