Ziqitza Healthcare - A caution regarding the high rate of heart disease in India
                     Ziqitza Healthcare - A caution regarding the high 
rate of heart disease in India
The busiest cardiac centres see young people being rushed to their 
emergency wards with heart attacks almost every day. A growing 
number of untimely deaths of celebrities, including the comedian Raju 
Srivastav, the singer KK, the TV actor Sidharth Shukla, and others, have 
raised awareness of the condition. Ziqitza Healthcare ltd remarks that 
according to data and evidence, the younger generation in India 
appears to be more susceptible than ever to dying from cardiovascular 
disease.
 
The statistics and numbers raise interesting questions. The World 
Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one-fifth of all 
cardiovascular deaths worldwide occurs in India. Sadly, the majority of 
these have an impact on younger people. Ziqitza points at the burden 
of disease study which states that India has 272 cardiovascular deaths 
for every 100,000 people, which is much higher than the global 
average of 235. According to studies, the younger generation 
accounted for 11.5% of heart attacks in the Covid era of 2020–2021.
Indian Hearts Lacking Care (IHL Care) conducted a survey of young 
people in cities all over India to better understand the risk of 
cardiovascular diseases among younger Indians. They came to the 
startling conclusion that 53% of Indians aged 26 to 40 are at risk for 
cardiovascular disease. Everyone in India needs to start taking 
cardiovascular disease seriously.
 
Heart attacks and deaths from cardiovascular disease can be 
avoided. Young Indians are particularly at risk, according to 
Ziqitza Healthcare, due to their extremely unhealthy diets, 
sedentary lifestyles, and high levels of stress. Around 30% of 
younger Indians were found to be obese in metro areas, which 
suggests that fast food and junk food high in refined grains, sugars, 
saturated fats, and calories are having a negative impact. 
Ziqitza Rajasthan goes on to say that because most jobs require 
long hours of work, there is little time for physical activity. Stress is 
on the rise as life in general becomes more complicated.
The quality of life can be significantly impacted by heart conditions. 
It's crucial to understand how heart disease develops in order to 
prevent it and reduce your risk. Heart disease has a number of 
primary causes and risk factors, including:
High blood pressure – According to Ziqitza Limited, hypertensive 
heart disease is regarded as the main cause of death in people with 
high blood pressure. This condition encompasses a variety of heart 
conditions, such as ischemic heart disease, left ventricular 
hypertrophy, and heart failure. Left ventricular hypertrophy, a 
condition where the heart muscles thicken, can result from untreated 
high blood pressure and raise the pressure on the heart. The heart's 
ability to pump enough blood is hampered by this condition, which 
reduces the organs' ability to receive enough oxygen.
 
High cholesterol and triglycerides – Early signs of heart problems can 
result from high cholesterol levels in the body. The coronary 
circulation of the heart is impacted by hypertension and artery wall 
thickening, both of which are risk factors for various heart conditions. 
According to ZHL Rajasthan high levels of LDL cholesterol and low 
levels of HDL cholesterol can cause clogged arteries, which can cause 
additional complications.
Smoking - In India, smoking is one of the main contributors to heart 
disease. Smoking can raise triglycerides in the blood, make the blood 
thick and sticky, and increase the likelihood that it will clot.
Drinking too much alcohol - As harmless as it may seem, 
drinking too much alcohol can eventually cause a number of 
different heart issues. Serious heart conditions like 
cardiomyopathy and an irregular heartbeat can result from 
it.
 
Obesity - According to Ziqitza Limited Rajasthan, one of the 
main risk factors for cardiovascular disease in both adults 
and children is obesity. High cholesterol levels are a sign of 
obesity. Patients are more likely to experience health issues 
as a result of clogged arteries as a result. Obesity can also 
cause diabetes and high blood pressure, both of which can 
result in congested hearts.
High levels of stress and anxiety - People who frequently 
experience panic or anxiety attacks are more likely to 
develop heart-related disorders. Additionally, depression 
lowers blood flow to the heart and raises the body's 
production of the stress hormone cortisol. At first, this 
might not result in any heart issues. However, over time, it 
might lead to an increase in risk factors for cardiovascular 
disease.
 
Ziqitza Health care limited suggests that Indian youth 
must prioritise their health. It is necessary to be aware of 
healthy lifestyle choices and abstain from bad habits. Diets 
must be well-balanced and nutritious. Young India must 
prioritise getting some exercise and maintaining a healthy 
work-life balance.
