Deskripsi
Background Cardiovascular disease is the world’s leading killer, accounting for 16.7 million deaths, or 29.2%, of the total number of global deaths in 2003. In India, in the past five decades, rates of coronary disease among the urban population have risen from 4% to 11%. Most of the deaths due to CVD at a young age are preventable by early identification of the risk factors and adapting healthy lifestyles.
