Developing countries face rising coronary artery disease due to lifestyle changes. Key cardiovascular risk factors like tobacco and hypertension are driving this global epidemic, necessitating urgent prevention plans.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Urbanization and westernization are driving an epidemiological transition in developing nations.
  • This shift leads to a rise in cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • CAD mortality is projected to double in 20 years, with 80% of increase in developing countries.

Purpose:

  • Assess the global prevalence and impact of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) on coronary-related morbidity.
  • Evaluate the role of modifiable CVRF including tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, lipids, and psychosocial factors.
  • Compare the risk associated with CVRF in industrialized versus developing nations.

Summary:

  • The INTERHEART study identified strong correlations between modifiable CVRF and myocardial infarction (MI) risk globally.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Tobacco use is the leading risk factor for CAD prevalence worldwide.
  • Raised lipid levels are most strongly linked to MI risk in Africa, while diabetes, hypertension, and obesity significantly impact Southeast Asia and Africa.

    • Impact:

    • CVRF levels and their associated risks are consistent across industrialized and developing countries.
    • The increasing prevalence of CVRF in developing nations will drive a surge in coronary-related morbidity and mortality.
    • Highlights the critical need for epidemiological control plans to prevent cardiovascular disease in developing countries.
