Leading the Way in Comprehensive Heart Care
Cardiovascular disease has emerged as a critical public health challenge across India, with alarming statistics that underscore the urgent need for accessible, advanced cardiac care. India accounts for one-fifth of global cardiovascular disease-related deaths, with CVDs responsible for 27% of all deaths in the country. The estimated prevalence of CVD in India reached 54.6 million cases in 2016, while the age-standardized CVD death rate of 272 per 100,000 population is significantly higher than the global average of 235 per 100,000.
The situation in Bihar state presents unique challenges within this national context. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, Bihar falls into the low epidemiological transition level (ETL) state group, where the DALY rate of rheumatic heart disease was highest in Bihar and Odisha compared to other Indian states. Notably, the increase in prevalence of ischemic heart disease has been highest in the less developed low ETL states like Bihar, indicating a rapidly growing burden of cardiovascular disease in the region.
This epidemiological reality makes the advanced cardiac services at HDNA Aarogyam Hospital not just valuable, but essential for the people of Bihar. With coronary heart disease prevalence rates ranging from 1.6% to 7.4% in rural populations and 1% to 13.2% in urban populations across India, and a four-fold rise in CHD prevalence over the past 40 years, the need for specialized cardiac care has never been more urgent.
In the heart of Bihar's capital, HDNA Aarogyam Hospital has emerged as a beacon of hope for cardiac patients seeking world-class treatment without having to travel to distant cities. As a center of excellence for heart, kidney, neurology, and orthopedic care in Patna, HDNA Aarogyam is dedicated to delivering exceptional healthcare with compassion, expertise, and a patient-centric approach.
