Volume 7, Issue 2 (February 2024) | Muhammad Mudasser Hussain, Uzma Rafi, Adnan Imran, Mujeeb Ur Rehman, Syed Khuram Abbas
The article "Risk Factors Associated with Cardiovascular Disorders" by Muhammad Mudasser Hussain, Uzma Rafi, Adnan Imran, Mujeeb Ur Rehman, and Syed Khuram Abbas provides a comprehensive overview of the risk factors contributing to cardiovascular disorders (CVDs). CVDs, including coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, and heart failure, pose significant health risks globally, with CAD being a prevalent condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of blood vessels supplying the heart muscle. Hypertension, another common CVD, contributes to organ damage and increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease. Heart failure, resulting from various underlying factors, can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue. The article highlights that CVDs are the primary cause of mortality worldwide, accounting for 32% of all fatalities in 2019, with heart attacks and strokes being the leading causes. Non-communicable illnesses, including CVDs, account for 17 million premature deaths annually, with over 75% occurring in low- and middle-income nations. Family history, socioeconomic status, education level, and access to healthcare services are significant socio-demographic factors influencing susceptibility to CVDs. Lifestyle choices such as smoking, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol consumption, and psychosocial stress are well-established risk factors. In Pakistan, traditional dietary patterns high in carbohydrates and low in fruits, vegetables, and protein sources contribute to the high prevalence of CVDs. The article also discusses the impact of family history, high blood pressure, obesity, lack of knowledge about controlling blood pressure, diabetes, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, and high cholesterol levels on the development and progression of CVDs. The authors emphasize the need for comprehensive strategies for early detection, effective treatment, and prevention, including public health initiatives, medical advancements, and education. They conclude that CVDs are complex conditions influenced by multiple risk factors and lifestyle decisions, requiring a multimodal approach to address their prevalence and impact on morbidity and mortality.The article "Risk Factors Associated with Cardiovascular Disorders" by Muhammad Mudasser Hussain, Uzma Rafi, Adnan Imran, Mujeeb Ur Rehman, and Syed Khuram Abbas provides a comprehensive overview of the risk factors contributing to cardiovascular disorders (CVDs).
