Abstract
Abstract: Although preventive drug therapy is a priority after acute coronary syndrome, less is known about adherence to behavioral recommendations.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 80% of premature heart disease is preventable. The landmark INTERHEART Study reiterates and reinforces the crucial role of certain risk factors that when modified through lifestyle and medication reduces the burden of CAD (coronary artery disease) in India. The prevalence of major modifiable risk factors is high and is increasing in India. Two simple factors (tobacco and abnormal lipid ratio) explain more than two thirds of risk, and confirms that tobacco, diet, and physical activity may have huge implications for the Indian population in the increase of coronary artery disease.
