India facing coronary artery disease crisis

By C Vidyashankar, MD

DELHI, Jan 03 (Reuters Health) - The increasing incidence of coronary artery

disease (CAD) among Indians is a serious cause for concern, according to a

report in a recent issue of the Journal of the Indian Medical Association.

Coronary artery disease occurs when fatty deposits narrow the arteries that

supply blood to heart muscles, which can lead to angina and heart attack.

In a special article, Dr. Enas A. Enas from the Coronary Artery Disease in Asian

Indians Research, Chicago, Illinois, writes that Indians worldwide have the

highest rates of CAD.

Coronary artery disease rates in urban areas in India are now fourfold higher

than in the United States, according to the report. The excess risk is even

greater in women than in men, he noted.

"When compared to whites, blacks, Hispanics and other Asians, CAD rates among

Indians worldwide are 2 to 4 times higher at all ages, and 5 to 10 times higher

in those less than 40 years of age," he writes.

Whereas risk factor interventions--such as anti-smoking campaigns and

cholesterol reduction--have led to a halving of the CAD rates in the West in

the past 30 years, the rates doubled in India with no signs of a downturn, Enas

notes.

Enas concludes that a significant reduction in CAD rates can be easily achieved

in India by adopting a strategy of lifestyle modification, early

identification, and treatment of risk factors.

Dr. Sears' Comments:

This article demonstrates that heart disease is much more complex than eating

low-fat vegetarian diets. In India, part of the problem is the increased

consumption of carbohydrates that has come with increased prosperity. Not

surprisingly, India also has the greatest number of Type 2 diabetics in the

world.

Jai Guru Datta

Dear Datta Devotees,

I was under the impression that the mailing list

"JAIGURUDATTA " was created for topics

relating to DATTA PEETHAM and "Sri Sri Sri Ganapathi

Sachchidananda Swamiji".

So my humble opinion is that, we should not use this

mailing list for other topics.

Sri Guru Datta
