Living with obesity increases risk of developing Cardiovascular diseases: Dr Sushil
9/1/2024 9:19:29 PM
Early Times Report

Jammu, Sep 1: With the impending pandemic of obesity and cardiac ailments Head Department of Cardiology GMCH Jammu Dr Sushil Sharma held a day long cardiac awareness cum health checkup camp at Ramakrishna Mission Medical Centre Udheywala Jammu. The camp was inaugurated by Dr Sushil Sharma along with Executive Director, NHPC Shri Ram Swaroop, Swami Yajnadharananda and Swami Vijayeshananda amidst vedic chants by the monks. During the Camp people from all walks of life were educated to follow cardiac friendly lifestyle and adopt environmental friendly approach to decrease the morbidity and mortality and improve quality of life.
Swami Yajnadharananda, Secretary of Ramakrishna Mission, Jammu, highlighted the organization’s commitment to the ideals of Sri Ramakrishna Dev, Maa Sarada, and Swami Vivekananda, when we help others, we are essentially serving a higher purpose. By extending a helping hand to those in need, we are embodying the values of compassion, kindness, and selflessness that are the essence of RamaKrishna Mission teachings . He said
While interacting with the people Dr Sushil stated that Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and morbidity has been shown to be elevated in individuals who are overweight, particularly with central deposition of adipose tissues. Abdominal obesity has been shown to be a risk factor for CVD worldwide. Obesity may be associated with hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, or insulin resistance, and elevated levels of fibrinogen and C-reactive protein, all of which increase the risk of CVD events. In addition to CVD, obesity has been shown to increase the risk of high blood pressure (HBP).Persistent hypertension is one of the risk factors for stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, and arterial aneurysm, and is a leading cause of chronic kidney failure. Moderate elevation of arterial blood pressure leads to shortened life expectancy, which also increases the risk of heart diseases
He elaborated that the global obesity epidemic is well established, with increases in obesity prevalence for most countries since the 1980s. Obesity contributes directly to incident cardiovascular risk factors, including dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep disorders. Obesity also leads to the development of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular disease mortality independently of other cardiovascular risk factors.
More recent data highlight abdominal obesity, as determined by waist circumference, as a cardiovascular disease risk marker that is independent of body mass index. There have also been significant advances in imaging modalities for characterizing body composition, including visceral adiposity. Studies that quantify fat depots, including ectopic fat, support excess visceral adiposity as an independent indicator of poor cardiovascular outcomes.
He added that Obesity is recognized as a heterogeneous condition in which individuals with similar BMIs may have distinct metabolic and CVD risk profiles.
With increasing prevalence of obesity in populations with a longer life span, there is a need to evaluate mechanisms underlying obesity-related cardiac dysfunction and to improve the management of patients with obesity and CVD through future research .
In addition, the dramatic increase in the proportion of young patients with severe obesity invokes the need for more upstream interventions for the primary prevention and better treatment of obesity as a chronic disease, He Said.
Swami Yajnadharananda, Secretary of Ramakrishna Mission, Jammu ,Swami Vijayeshananda, Ravinder Koul ,Sunil Thusu, Balkrishna Raina and Manjit Singh appreciated the efforts of Dr Sushil and his team for conducting cardiac awareness cum health check up camp in their Centre and expressed their heartfelt gratitude.
Others who were part of this camp includes Dr Dhaneshwer Kapoor Dr B D Sharma, Dr Rakesh Raina, Dr Shivani Padha, Dr Arun Gupta , Dr Tanu Gandotra and Dr Payal Parihar .
