Earlier this disease was majorly seen among people in urban areas due to their sedentary lifestyles, changed food habits, lack of physical exercise and increased level of stress. But today, even in the rural areas people tend to imitate the lifestyle and culture of urban cities and follow the same pattern. So, this causes people to suffer from various lifestyle diseases leading to heart diseases often.
Recently Shushrusha Heart care and Multi-specialty Hospital organized a free health check-up camp at Mahad Taluka Rural Hospital in Raigad district. Under this camp, 75 people from different age groups were diagnosed, in which 35 were found to be having heart problems. Among those 35 people, 10 were children below 15 years of age and 25 of them were of 40 plus years of age. 12 among all, are being provided with treatment at Shushrusha heart care and multi specialty hospital.
Dr. S. R Tarlekar, director, Shushrusha Hospital says, "The statistics shows a rise in the number of heart patients in rural areas, which is very alarming. It is a matter of concern as this is the highest rise we have observed in a rural area. Earlier people in villages used to opt for farming as their main occupation. But today as the generation is getting more advanced and technology savvy, they do not prefer to carry on with their family occupation and hence follow the patterns of the urban and metro cities. Change in the lifestyle patterns of people in rural areas have been observed in the recent years, which ultimately leads to increase in various diseases like diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure and heart problems. At my hospital, I see more of patients with heart diseases from rural areas today. The numbers have consequently increased. In order to bring this under control, it is the need of the hour to take preventive measures and educate people by creating awareness."
