One in four Indians suffer from a non-communicable disease, a 2017 report revealed. This year, on occasion of World Heart Day, a report published in Lancet highlights the rising disease burden of cardiovascular diseases in India. The study stated there has been 50% rise in CVDs among Indians.
Speaking to DNA, Dr Dev Pahlajani, Interventional Cardiologist, Breach Candy Hospital, Mumbai, addressed the problems faced in India, the difference between heart failure and a heart attack, and whether cardiovascular disease problems will increase or decrease in future.
