The No. 1 Killer

Cardiovascular Disorders (Heart Disease)
The Number 1 Killer in the world, CVD claims more lives each year than cancer,
chronic lower respiratory diseases, accidents and diabetes mellitus combined.
The burden of cardiovascular
disease is rising in India.
Compared to all other countries,
India suffers the highest loss in
potentially productive years of
life due to deaths from
cardiovascular disease in people
aged 35-64 years (9.2 million
years lost in 2000). By 2030,
this loss is expected to rise to
17.9 million years.

More than 20 million

people around the
globe die of CVD each
year. This is over 30
percent of all deaths
globally.
Shockingly, over 30 per
cent of the patients are
young (below 40 years).

Feeling the Pressure

(Blood Pressure/ Hypertension)
The constant stress of high blood pressure
causes physical and functional deterioration
in the heart and wherever blood vessels
reach causing a wide variety of severe end
organ damage.

Symptoms of heart attack

Organ Damage (Heart and other blood vessels)

ARTERIES:
Arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries,
especially in the heart, kidney , legs, and
brain). Atherosclerosis (fat accumulation
and narrowing of the arteries, causing chest
pain, heart failure, kidney failure, stroke, etc;
and Aneurysms. Over time the arteries
become scarred, narrowed, hardened and
less elastic.

HEART:
Increased risk for disease of the blood
vessels of the heart (Coronary Artery
Disease), & enlarged left side of the heart ,
causing heart attacks, heart failure, and
sudden death.

BRAIN:
Increased risk of stroke due to the blood
vessel disease, TIA (mini stroke) due to
atherosclerosis or blood clot, dementia, and
loss of mental function.

KIDNEY:
May lead to kidney failure due to damage to
the arteries, or to aneurysms which may
cause severe internal bleeding.

Other Effects:
Sexual Dysfunction
Bone Loss
Trouble sleeping due to sleep apnea

EYE:
Eye blood vessel damage can lead to
retinopathy, damage to optic nerve, and fluid
build up under the retina causing bleeding,
blurred vision and loss of vision.

Cholesterol: Good and Bad

Potentially antiinflammatory, High-density
lipoproteins (HDL) are also
known as GOOD
CHOLESTEROL.
It helps remove cholesterol
from your body, so the
higher your HDL, the lower
your chance for getting
heart disease.

Potentially proinflammatory,
Low Density Lipoproteins
(LDL) can lead to a buildup
of cholesterol in the
arteries. It is called the
BAD CHOLESTEROL. The
higher the LDL level in your
blood, the greater chance
you have of getting heart
disease.

India is now home to the largest population of diabetic cases in the world, where 30
million are affected. This number is expected to grow to 57 million by 2025.

increase expected by 2025 in developing countries and a
corresponding 42% rise predicted for the developed
countries.

Common symptoms of

Excessive thirst

Constant hunger

Excessive urination (bed

wetting)

Unusual weight loss for
