Cardiovascular diseases
The daily Prothom Alo has published a report on the Health Bulltin-2010 of Health Directorate on 27th November 2010. Cardiovascular diseases have been identified as the number one cause of patients' death in the country in the report. And the people aged between 25 to 49 years die mainly of these diseases. The age group shown in the report who are vulnerable to cardiac diseases is the most productive and income generating group in the family. Generally, the doctors say that hypertension, stress, anxiety, food habit etc. are the main causes of cardiovascular diseases.
Nowadays, the earning members of the middle class and lower middle class families are passing very tough time. Because they are failing to make both ends meet with their present income. Price hike of essentials, children's high educational expenditures, increased transport fare and house rent have made this group very upset. This is harmful to the cardiac patients. A thorough study on this risk group should be carried out as the initial steps for finding out the root causes of the diseases. Then effective measures can be taken for the treatment and for making people aware about the causes. But the government or any other organisation has not yet conducted the study.
