Preventing heart disease
Dr K.P. Suresh Kumar,
Chief Cardiologist,
Kauvery Hospital, Chennai
Heart disease is increasing at an alarming rate in India, and unfortunately, awareness levels about the same are appallingly low. Dr K.P. Suresh Kumar, chief cardiologist at Kauvery Hospital, Chennai, says, “India is the diabetes capital of the world. It is the same with hypertension (high blood pressure). Every third adult in India is hypertensive. And only 33 per cent of those who are hypertensive are aware of it.” And to make matters worse, he adds, “Again, of that group, only 33 per cent get treatment, and of that 33 per cent, only one-third of them have it under control.” Indians, especially south Indians, are more vulnerable to coronary heart disease at a young age and in middle age, he says.
These are very worrying statistics. Also, 66 per cent of diabetics have hypertension, while almost 50 per cent of people with high blood pressure have diabetes. Hypertension is one of the prime contributors to heart disease. “A huge volume of patients remains untreated, and they all develop complications of hypertension,” says the doctor.
