Across India, an estimated 150 million people carry a silent narrowing in their arteries — no pain, no warning, no awareness. A cardiologist at Ramaiah Memorial Hospital is urging the public to understand that atherosclerosis is not fate written in genes, but a slow accumulation of daily choices and unattended conditions. In a nation where one in eleven adults is already affected, the most dangerous myth may be the belief that the body will announce its own emergency before it is too late.

Public Health & Government Spending
Households face rising out-of-pocket medical expenses for cardiovascular treatments, diagnostics, and medications. Lower-income families are disproportionately vulnerable due to limited healthcare access, while middle-class consumers may shift spending toward preventive health products, gym memberships, and healthier food options.
Government may expand National Health Mission cardiovascular programs, increase subsidies for cardiac drugs, tighten regulations on processed food labeling and marketing, and incentivize preventive screening camps. PMJAY (Ayushman Bharat) coverage expansion for cardiac procedures is likely. Potential sugar and salt content regulations on packaged foods may follow.
