OVERVIEW
World Heart Day was crafted to apprise people
around the Globe that heart ailments and strokes are
the World’s leading cause of death. Together with
bodies such as WHO, the World Heart Federation raises
awareness that at least 80 percent of untimely deaths from
heart disease and stroke could be evaded if the key risk factors –
which are tobacco, unhealthy diet and lack of exercise – are
controlled. About 17.5 million people died from cardiovascular disease in
2005, representing 30 percent of all global deaths. World Heart Day was
first conceived in 1999 and is to be observed on the 29 of September
2017. The day propagates preventative methods to reduce the risk
of cardiovascular diseases.
India has seen a brisk transition in its heart disease burden over the past couple of decades. The load of communicable and non communicable diseases is projected to get reversed in 2020. Demographic projections suggest a major increase in cardiovascular disease mortality as life expectancy increases and the age structure of the growing population changes.
