Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the major cause of sudden death amongst adults throughout the globe. Though the prevalence of CHD is increasing steadily all over, CHD amongst Indians is peculiar in the sense that it is more prevalent, more severe and appears at younger age. Development of CHD depends upon the status of various coronary risk factors in one's body. It has been observed that to measure the impact of risk factors for the cardiac health of a person, collective impact of all the known risk factors taken together should be calculated rather than individual risk factors. DEBEL (Defence Bio-Engineering and Electro-Medical Laboratory) is developing a cardiac risk analyser to calculate the absolute coronary risk of an individual in next 2,5 or 10 years and help in managing his coronary risk status.
冠心病(CHD)是全球成年人猝死的主要原因。尽管冠心病在全球的患病率在稳步上升,但印度人的冠心病有其独特之处,即更为普遍、更为严重且发病年龄更小。冠心病的发展取决于体内各种冠状动脉危险因素的状况。据观察,为了衡量危险因素对一个人心脏健康的影响,应该计算所有已知危险因素的综合影响,而不是单个危险因素。国防生物工程和电子医学实验室(DEBEL)正在开发一种心脏风险分析仪,以计算个体在未来2年、5年或10年内的绝对冠状动脉风险,并帮助管理其冠状动脉风险状况。
