Over 90 Million Indians are at Risk for Vascular Diseases
The incidence of vascular diseases is increasing at an alarming rate in India. Over 90 million Indians are at risk for various types of vascular diseases including stroke, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), carotid artery disease and aortic aneurysms.
Over 10 million persons of 30 years and above have been screened so far for diabetes and hypertension. Out of this, 7.27% are suspected for diabetes and 6.44% for hypertension. In addition to this, a cardiac care unit is being set up in 100 districts of the country where funds for infrastructure, equipment, human resources and drugs will be provided by Health Ministry. According to the World Health Organization, of the 58 million deaths globally, approximately 35 million were due to chronic non-communicable diseases.
In India, NCDs like CVDs, diabetes, chronic obstructive lung disease, cancer and injuries have already become the dominant cause of disease burden contributing about 2/3rd of the total disease burden. The number of deaths attributed to chronic diseases was 3.78 million in 1990, i.e. 40.4% of all deaths and is projected to reach an expected 7.63 million in 2020, i.e. 66.7% of all deaths. About 38 million persons were affected with Cardio-vascular diseases in 2005 and the number may go up to 64 million by 2015. High blood pressure is as common as 10-15% in the adult population, more so in metros and large cities.
During UN General Assembly Special Session on NCDs, held in September 2011 in New York, all countries of the world made a commitment in the Political Declaration to combat key NCDs including cardiovascular diseases which shows that the whole world has united in the struggle against the rising incidence of such diseases.
Shri Azad said that India has only about 59 doctors for every 100,000 people, which is much less than the ratio prevailing in developed countries. Despite that our doctors are taking care of a huge population and disease burden despite their very limited numbers in our country.
Vascular surgery as a speciality has grown leaps and bounds in the last decade in India which has helped many needy patients. However, despite that many lives and limbs are still lost due to the non-availability of timely assistance and expertise. He hoped that VSI would conduct workshops in other cities too to train MS general surgery students so that the benefits of this field are available to as many surgeons as possible.

CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING FOR LAY PUBLIC
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ,prominently called as CPR, is an emergency procedure which is performed in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person in cardiac arrest.
Dr.
SRINIVAS RAMAKA, Consultant Cardiologist and ,Chairman,Srinivasa Heart
Foundation, is conducting CPR Training for lay public.
VENUE:SENATE HALL, KUC, WARANGAL
ANDHRA PRADESH
DATE: 29 -SEP- 2012
TIME: 10:30 am
About Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation :
Despite major advances in medical science,Sudden
Cardiac Arrest particularly Out-of
Hospital Cardiac Arrest leading to death remains an important public
health problem.
Despite the fact that more than 50 years have passed by since modern CPR is introduced,the survival rate from
Out-Of Hospital Cardiac Arrest remains 6 %.With an aim to improve
the chance of survival from Out-Of Hospital Cardiac
Arrest, the American Heart Association has been providing periodic updates and guidelines for CPR and various organisations throughout the
world have been replicating the guidelines issued in providing training to lay public in
CPR.
Training @ warangal by Dr.Srinivas Ramaka:
Though instances of Sudden Cardiac Arrest are not uncommon
in India,awareness on suchunfortunate events and knowledge on CPR is less among
the Indian public.
As per a study by the World Heart Federation,not even 1 % of the Indian population
has proper knowledge on CPR.With this background,Srinivasa Heart Foundation has
initiated the important public health
project of training lay public in CPR
in the year 2009.
After the introduction of the new guidelines on CPR in
2010,which marked the 50th anniversary of
CPR, a systematic training program in CPR for lay public was initiated
in "Warangal".

The Heart check goes easy way
Are you one among them who have tried a lot for seeking an appointment with your cardiologist, for heart check. Gone are those days, with a new device yet to hit markets soon, you are going to save money as well time associated with the heart check.
Indian Scientist Dr Ravi Mehrotra, of CSIR-NPL (Council for Scientific and
Industrial Research, National Physical Laboratory), and thirty of his students at
CSIR-NPL had invented a device that lets you get your heart checked in ten
minutes. It fits into the palm of your hand.
He says, "It is a full 12 lead device. It measures simultaneously all the 12 signals that a doctor needs. The software saves patient information and the final ECG. Records can be emailed and shared with experts."
How it works ?
Maximum time taken is 10 Minutes for the heart check.
Technicians at your local clinic will wire you up, with leads on your limbs
and chest. Your body’s electrical signals will flow first into a box called
HeartTrace and then, into a computer and ECG will be ready in seconds.
It’s as quick and hassle-free as a simple blood test. The estimated price is around Rs 10,000 -15,000/-
The reason it is so cheap, is technology. HeartTrace has no moving parts inside - just a printed circuit board. But burned into those circuits, is special software Dr Mehrotra wrote himself.
Affordable pricing :
Being, affordable pricing the device can easly get its presence across India ,even in smaller villages and towns. With its price one can get a brandable SMART PHONE.
This heart check device certainly going to bring a great change in the health sector of India. Main USP being is its time taken for a test is very minimal besides the cost. Further, most of us have a phobia ,being visited to large corporate hospitals. This can be overcome as you can have a smiliar ECG report from the heart check device by visiting your local hospital or family doctor.
