Cardio-vascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death and disease in India, still very few studies are being conducted to map the changing trends in the disease burden or risk factors. To address this serious gap, Fortis Healthcare conducted a significant study under the guidance of Dr. (Prof) Upendra Kaul, Executive Director, Cardiology, Fortis Flt. Lt. Rajan Dhall Hospital between 2011 and 2015 among 12152 patients. Key findings of the study are that the risk factor profile for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is similar to studies from the west. Dyslipidaemia or high lipid levels (58.1%) Hypertension (53.2%) and smoking (45%), emerged as the top three risk factors. There is no special tendency of younger populations to be affected with ACS.
For this study conducted between January 2011 and December 2015, a total of 12,152 patients were studied – the patient average age was 61.7+11.2 years, the age range between 18-100 years. This included 5,850 patients with heart attacks (ST elevation myocardial infarction or STEMI) and 6320 patients with heart muscle or related ailments (Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction or NSTEMI).
