Introduction
CHD (IHD) is a group of closely related syndromes resulting
from myocardial ischemia – an imbalance between the
supply or perfusion and demand of heart for oxygenated
blood.
Definition: “ Impairment of heart function due to inadequate
blood flow to the heart compared to its needs, caused by
obstructive change in the coronary circulation to the heart”.
• 25- 30% deaths in most industrialized countries.

Pál Kertai:“Cardiovascular disease has the same meaning
for health care today as the epidemics of centuries had for
medicine in earlier times: 50% of the population in
developed countries die of cardiovascular disease”
British Heart Foundation:“Someone has a heart attack
every two minutes”

Problem statement
World:
• In today's world , most deaths are attributable to non
communicable diseases 35million and just over half of these
17 million are as a result of CVD.
• more then one third of these deaths occur in middle-aged
adults.
• Developed countries heart disease and stroke are the second
leading cause of death for adults men & women .

Fact sheet on CVDs• An estimated 17.3 million people died from CVDs in
2008.
• Over 80% of CVD deaths take place in low- and
middle-income countries.
• By 2030 more than 23 million people will die
annually from CVDs

India:
29.8million patients with cardiovascular disease
2003.An estimated 1.5million people die of CVD
every year.
The burden of common CVD are, about 0.93 million
stroke cases every year.

International variations CHD is now considered as our “Modern Epidemic”. Not an
unavoidable consequence of aging.
Epidemics of CHD began at different times in different
countries. Developed countries were the first to be affected
At present, CHD is decreasing in many developed countries, but
is increasing in developing and transitional countries, partly as a
result of increased longevity, urbanization and lifestyle changes
Highest mortality is found in European countries followed by
SEAR countries.

CHD IN INDIA
There is a steep increase in prevalence of IHD in urban areas in India
(considerable increase in the last decade).
Although there is an increased prevalence in the rural areas, the
lifestyle changes have affected people more in urban areas than
that in rural areas.
Expected to be the single most important cause of death in India by
2015.
Prevalence in URBAN -6.4%/1000, RURAL-2.5%/1000
Death rate in URBAN-0.8%/1000, RURAL-0.4% /1000

CHD in the United States
• CHD is the single largest killer of men and women
• 13.9 million have history of MI and angina
• Each year 1.1 million people have MI
MI- 3,70,000 die & 2,50,000 die within 1 hr
• By age 60, every 5th man and 17th woman develops CHD
• 1998 estimated direct and indirect costs of heart disease are $95.6 billion
• 53.3 million adults have elevated LDL-C and warrant intervention (1994 NHANES data)

World Health Day Theme
• 27 March 2013 -- The theme for this year's, 7 April, is
hypertension. Also known as high or raised blood pressure,
hypertension increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and
kidney failure. Uncontrolled hypertension can also cause
blindness, irregularities of the heartbeat and heart failure.
However, high blood pressure is preventable and treatable.
Early detection is key: all adults should know their blood
pressure.

Gaps In Natural History
• There are many gaps in our Knowledge about the the
natural history of chronic diseases. These gaps cause
difficulties in aetiological investigation and research.
Theses are-
1. Absence of a know agent: some of chronic disease the
cause is known silica in silicosis. For many chronic
disease the causative agent is not known. The absence of
known agent makes both diagnosis & specific prevention
difficult.
![Page 15: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

2. Multifactorial causation: Most chronic diseases are
the result of multiple causes –one –to- one cause –
effect relationship.
The concept of disease “agent”& stress multiplicity
of interactions between host & environment.

3. Long latent period : chronic diseases is the long
latent period the first exposure to “suspected cause”
and the eventual development of disease (cervical
cancer)
4 Indefinite onset: Most chronic disease are slow in
onset and development and may be difficult to
establish.(diabetes and hypertension)

Non Communicable Disease Risks Factors
• Six key of risks factors
1. Cigarette use and other form of smoking.
2. Alcohol abuse
3. Failure or inability to obtain preventive health services.(hypertension control, cancer detection, management of diabetes)
4. Life- style changes( dietary patterns, physical activity)
5. Environmental risks factors ( occupation hazards, air and water pollution and possession of destructive weapons in case of injuries)
6. Stress factors

26
Non Modifiable 1.Age
• Aging strongly associated with atherosclerosis due to:
– Cumulative exposure to risk factors
– Degeneration of blood vessels with age
• Aging becomes a significant risk factor for:
– Men at age 45 or older,
– Women at age 55 or older as they reach menopause
![Page 27: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
2.Gender
• Gender difference in age of coronary heart disease
onset has been attributed to:
– A protective effect of estrogen in women
– Men also tend to have other possible risk factors:
• Higher homocysteine levels
• Higher risk of iron overload
• Ultimately, coronary heart disease kills as many
women as men
![Page 28: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
3.Family History
• Family history of early coronary heart disease in one’s
immediate family members is an independent risk factor,
independent of other risk factors
![Page 29: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Modifiable
1.SMOKING
• Mechanism by which cigarette smoking
contribute to CHD are Carbon monoxide induced
atherogenesis
Nicotinic stimulation of adrenergic drive
Lipid metabolism with fall in protective high
density lipoproteins

31
2.Blood Pressure
• For people over 50 years of age, a high systolic blood
pressure is more predictive of coronary heart disease risk
than diastolic blood pressure
• High blood pressure is ≥140/ ≥90 mm Hg
![Page 32: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
2.Diabetes
• High blood glucose can attach (glycate) to proteins
forming glycoprotein
– These proteins can damage blood vessels and worsen
atherosclerosis
• Other effects of diabetes promote blood clot formation
![Page 33: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

35
Cardiovascular Prevention
Primordial: Social, legal and other (often
nonmedical) activities which may lead to a
lowering of risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic
development, smoke-free restaurants)
A novel approach to primary prevention of CHD is
primordial prevention. Its involves preventing the
emergence and spread of CHD risk factors and life
styles that have not appeared or become endemic
![Page 36: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Cont...
• Primary: Controlling risk factors contributing to
CVD (health education programs, anti-smoking
campaign, sports programs, nutrition counselling,
regular check of blood pressure and certain blood
parameters, e.g., cholesterol, blood lipids, glucose)
![Page 37: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Cont……….
Secondary: Screening and treatment of symptomatic
patients, set up personal risk profile
Tertiary: Cardiovascular rehabilitation, prevention of
recurrence of CVD (new heart attack: 5-7 times higher
risk among CVD patients)
![Page 38: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
PREVENTION OF CHD
The WHO expert committee has recommended the
following strategy :
I. Population strategy
Prevention in whole populations
Primordial prevention in whole population
II. High risk strategy
III. Secondary prevention
![Page 39: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
POPULATION STRATEGY
• Control of underlying causes (risk factors) in whole
population.
• Strategy based on mass approach
• Approach based on the principle that small changes
in risk factor level in total population can achieve the
biggest reduction in mortality.
![Page 40: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Specific interventions
1.Dietary Changes
Low saturated and trans fat (as low as possible below 10%
of calories).
Dietary cholesterol to below 100 mg/1000kcal/day
At least 5 fruits and vegetables/day
![Page 41: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
• Intake of less than 2 gm sodium (5 gm salt)/day.
• 0.4 mg of late (diet and/or supplement)
• B12, B6 from diet or multivitamin
• At least 1000 mg of calcium/day and the RDA for
magnesium
![Page 42: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
2.Smoking
• As far as CHD is concerned, present evidence does not support promotion of the so- called “safer cigarette”.
• The goal should be to achieve a smoke- free society an several countries are progressing towards this goal.
![Page 43: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
3.Blood Pressure
• Involves a multifactorial approach based on:
• Prudent diet
• Regular physical activity
• Weight control
![Page 44: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Prudent diet
• Fat intake to limited to 15 to 30 percent of total cal.
• Saturated fat to limited to 10%
• Carbohydrate rich in fiber to be consumed
• Alcohol to be restricted
• Salt intake to less than 5gms
• Proteins to be 10 to 15 percent of total cal
• Junk food to be avoided.
![Page 45: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
3.Weight Control
• Obesity is the major risk for NIDDM and therefore CHD.
• On average, 1/2 to 1mm decrease in blood pressure for
each pound weight loss in obese hypertensive's.
• Weight reduction can raise HDL-cholesterol
![Page 46: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Health Benefits of Weight Loss
• Decreased cardiovascular risk
• Decreased glucose and insulin levels
• Decreased blood pressure
• Decreased LDL and triglycerides, increased HDL
• Reduced symptoms of degenerative joint disease
• Improved gynecological conditions
![Page 47: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Whenever possible, weight loss therapy should
employ the combination of
• Low-calorie/low-fat diets
• Increased physical activity
• Behavior modification
Weight Loss Therapy
![Page 48: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
4.Physical Activity
• Helps prevent obesity and required for long term
weight control
• Raises HDL- and lowers LDL-cholesterol
• Reduces blood pressure up to 10/8 mm Hg in
hypertensive patients (moderate activity >30 minutes
most days)
![Page 49: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

cont..
• Unfit men who become fit may reduce cardiovascular
disease mortality by 52% compared to those who remain
unfit.
• Recommendation is for 30 minutes of moderate activity
most days

HIGH RISK STRATEGY
I. Identifying risk
– Detection by screening tests
– Individuals include those who smoke, with a
strong family history of CHD, diabetes, obesity
and young women using oral contraceptives.
![Page 51: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
• Cont…
(ii) Specific advice
– Prevention and motivation to approach positively
against all identified risk factors.
Eg: Treatment of elevated BP
Breaking the smoking habit
Reduction of serum cholesterol levels
![Page 52: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
SECONDARY PREVENTION
• AIM : To prevent the recurrence and
progression of CHD.
Eg:
Coronary surgery
Use of Pacemakers
![Page 53: Risk factors of cardiovascular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554b3708b4c905d3088b5423/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

54
Secondary prevention trials
• At preventing a subsequent coronary attack or
sudden death. A wide range of clinical trial have been
performed with four main groups of drugs anti
