PREFACE
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and premature mortality in both the developed and developing
nations alike. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide with more than 17.5 million deaths.
The burden of CVD poses significant challenges in a transforming country like India, with its enormous population of more than 125
billion with different regional, social, and cultural strata. We are already the diabetic capital of the world. By 2025, we will be CVD
capital of the world with estimation of 69.8 million CVD cases. Today, CVD accounts for 29% of all deaths in India. Coronary artery
disease (CAD) burden is rising rapidly in India. The menace of CAD has risen from 1% in 1960 to 3% in 2003, 7% in 2011, and 14% in
2014 in Indias urban population. It has been rightly documented that To be an Indian, is itself a risk for premature coronary artery
disease, because of genetic predisposition due to high levels of lipoprotein (Lpa) and faulty lifestyle. The disease is often diffuse,
premature, and triple vessel with poor distal run off. The risk of CAD in Indians is 34 times higher than Americans, 6 times higher
than Chinese and 20 times higher than Japanese. CAD affects Indians 510 years earlier than any other community in the world. The
prevalence of metabolic syndrome is highest in India up to an extent of 60% between the age group of 40 and 60 years with dominance
of hypertension, 60% at age of 60 years, 70% at the age of 70 years, and 80% at the age of above 80 years. India faces a double burden
of diseases, the newer modern ones and the old era disease like rheumatic heart disease (RHD). RHD still remains rampant with a
prevalence of 1.61.8%. There is no dearth of congenital heart disease in India with a prevalence of 0.41% of live births.
The evolution of the management of CAD over the last 50 years has been dramatic. Until the early and mid-1960s, medical
therapy though often ineffective was the mainstay of treatment. By the 1970s, with the advent of coronary artery bypass graft surgery,
treatment of CAD was revolutionized and the overall strategy became an invasive one. Then there was a shift to a less invasive therapy
with the start of percutaneous transluminal coronary interventions in the 1980s and the stent era in the early 1990s. In the late
1990s and early years of this century, we have come nearly a full circle with prevention and comprehensive risk reduction therapies
becoming the foundation of the management of CAD. Long-term follow-up studies have clearly demonstrated that myocardial
revascularization procedures are usually directed at severely stenotic lesions and are highly effective in relieving angina but do not
reduce the subsequent risk of major acute coronary events (MACE), such as unstable angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias,
heart failure, or sudden cardiac death. The differential effect is due to the fact that the culprit lesions for most cases of MACE have an
average of 50% stenosis or less, whereas all myocardial revascularization procedures are directed at more than 70% stenotic lesions.
The lack of survival benefits, definitely adds to the cost, possible excess risk of stroke and major bleeding requiring transfusions,
guides the need to control and restrain our enthusiasm to treat every stenotic lesion irrespective of the degree of angina or exercise
tolerance, thus, helping us to probe our minds by evolving intervention era and preventive strategies for curbing CVD burden in the
world.
In the new paradigm, myocardial revascularization procedures retain their major role as a part of the comprehensive strategy in the
management of acute CAD, and preventive strategies enhance the potential CAD management. Several landmark clinical trials have
documented the efficacy of aspirin, statins, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers,
glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors in CVD protection. The data on lifestyle modification with increased physical activity, reduction in
obesity, meticulous control of hypertension, diabetes and cessation of tobacco, stress management, consumption of more fruits, nuts
and vegetables are the foundation of the nonpharmacological management in todays preventive cardiology. We must also focus on
effective strategies to attack on Heart Attack by pharmacoinvasive approach by using timely tenecteplase at home, in the clinic, in the
ambulance, emergency care, primary care hospital followed by coronary intervention in the tertiary care hospital with adequately
trained and experienced interventional cardiologists to have the morbidity and mortality benefits.
There is an explosion of rapid advances in the different fields of cardiology with late breaking trials every now and then. It is really
a Herculean task to remain up-to-date. The axiom of yesterday is the question of today and hopefully the truth of tomorrow. We have
really progressed from the era with inactivity advocacy as therapeutic strategy to the most effective pharmacoinvasive approach,
where the patient is wheeled into cath lab to identify and open up the clogged arteries with the thrombus burden. Evidence-based
medicine is the need of the hour. Keeping all this in mind, we have made a sincere attempt to bring out state-of-the-art CSI Cardiology
Update-2014 to the needs of clinicians quest for knowledge and update, and keeping them abreast with the recent advances in
cardiology to help practice clinical cardiology meticulously with CVD morbidity and mortality benefits.
It gives me an immense pleasure and great deal of satisfaction to present to you the enormous contribution by galaxy of eminent
authors of international repute and experts in the field of cardiology in this state-of-the-Art CSI Cardiology Update-2014, despite
their busy schedule. I really thank them from the bottom of my heart and appreciate their enthusiasm and zeal of their contribution.
