Win Thy Heart

Win Thy Heart Eat not salt, eat not pickle, lest they cause high pressure, Eat not rice, no free sweets, lest they cause sugar. Meat clogs the line, smoke ask the price, Walk makes it free, before hurry think twice. Green veg, fresh salmon, hilsa more edible, No whisky, no rum, fruits make life durable. Go fried food, boil yourself, dress with olive or canola Never ever re-use oil, fix up touring in gondola. TV screens not at all kin, avoid as much as possible, Cooked up news, dirty soap, makes the brain cells horrible. Chat good, chant good, play with the family, Mind and body work together, relive mood properly. Give thy hands, give thy heart, to whom so ever, Enjoy the earth, enjoy fully the life forever.

Adaptation of 2016 European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society guideline for lipid management to Indian patients – A consensus document

In the year 2016, European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society (ESC/EAS) guidelines provided recommendations on dyslipidemia management. The recommendation from these guidelines are restricted to European subcontinent. To adapt the updated recommendations for Indian subset of dyslipidemia, a panel of experts in management of dyslipidemia provided their expert opinions. This document provides expert consensus on adapting 2016 ESC dyslipidemia guidelines recommendations in Indian setting. The document also discussed India-specific relevant literature to support the consensus opinions provided in management of dyslipidemia.

Cardiovascular risk reduction intervention among school-students in Kolkata, West Bengal - the CRRIS study protocol.

BACKGROUND Increasing burden of cardiovascular risk-factors among adolescent school-children is a major concern in India. Dearth of information regarding the burden of these factors and the efficacy of educational intervention in minimizing them among urban school-students of India called for a school-based, educational intervention involving a representative sample of these students and their caregivers. METHODOLOGY Using a randomized-controlled design with stratified-random sampling, 1000 students (approximately 50/school) of 9th grade from 20 randomly selected schools (representing all socio-economic classes and school-types) and their caregivers (preferably mothers) will be recruited. Objectives of the study will include: estimation of the baseline burden and post-interventional change in cardiovascular risk-factors, related knowledge, perception and practice among participants in Kolkata. DATA COLLECTION After obtaining appropriate consent (assent for adolescents), collection of the questionnaire-based data (regarding cardiovascular disease/risk-factor related knowledge, perception, practice), anthropometric measurements, stress assessment and cardiological check-up (pulse and blood pressure measurement along with auscultation for any abnormal heart sounds) will be conducted for each participating students twice at an interval of six months. In between 6 educational sessions will be administered in 10 of the 20 schools randomized to the intervention arm. After the follow-up data collection, same sessions will be conducted in the non-interventional schools. DATA ANALYSES AND DELIVERABLE Descriptive and inferential analyses (using SAS 9.3) will be conducted to determine the distribution of the risk-factors and efficacy of the intervention in minimizing them so that policy-making can be guided appropriately to keep the adolescents healthy in their future life.
