The Rising Burden of Cardiovascular Disease and Thrombosis in India: An Epidemiological Review

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) associated with intravascular thrombosis is emerging as a significant public health concern in India, driven by a complex interplay of lifestyle, genetic predisposition, and socio-economic factors. This review examines recent trends in the prevalence, risk factors, and epidemiology of these conditions within the Indian population. A systematic search and selection process was employed to identify relevant studies, focusing on articles published between 2007 and 2024. Key findings indicate that rapid urbanization, dietary shifts, and increased stress levels contribute significantly to the rising rates of CVD and thrombosis. This review also highlights the critical comorbidity of mental health and CVD where mental health disorders exacerbate cardiovascular risks and complicate treatment outcomes. Adopting healthy lifestyles, the early detection and diagnosis of intravascular thrombosis and its predisposing factors, timely prevention, increased public awareness about available treatments, accessibility to healthcare resources, and mental health integration are the keys to preventing mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases.
