RISK DETERMINANTS THAT ESCALATE CARDIO VASCULAR DISORDERS

Abstract

Notwithstanding credible advances in cardiovascular health progress contributed byscientific studies during the preceding few decades, cardiovascular disease (CVD) relics a largenumber of deaths in developing as well as developed countries. Out of total of 161 articles screened.87 articles were excluded based on the preliminary scrutiny of abstract and titles and the study wasrestricted to remaining 74 articles to capture the most relevant literature. The risk factors of cardiovascular diseases have been recognized as modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Modifiablecardio- vascular risk factors involve tobacco usage, hypertension, elevated blood glucose,dyslipidemia, overweight, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), unhealthy diet, alcohol intake, lack ofphysical activity. The non modifiable cardio vascular risks are age, sex, family history and raciallocale. A public awareness of risk factors contributing cardio vascular disorders is imperative forhealth of individuals and suggested to investigate time and again during life. Risk factors identified inthis research are sufficient markers of changes in heart health during aging process. In future, riskfactors of cardio vascular diseases should be included in secondary classes’ syllabi for the earlyawareness and prevention of cardiovascular diseases in new generation. Public awareness should beenhanced through print and electronic media. Annual, work place surveys are required to be conductedfor early identification of cardio vascular disorders in workers of government and privateinstitutions/sectors, an effort that should be done on the part of employers to retain healthy and highquality employees.
