Mumbai: Morbid as it may sound, rising heart ailments have expanded the market for cardiovascular drugs in the country.Drugs across the cardiac category, including medications for heart failure therapies and cholesterol control, are flying off the shelves, with sales rising nearly 50% in five years to ₹30,483 crore in the 12 months through April 2025, according to data sourced by market tracker PharmaTrac for ET. Consumption of lipid-lowering and heart failure therapies almost doubled in the last five years, it showed.In the past year, growing demand for cardiac products has led to an 11% rise in sales across categories like lipid-lowering drugs, antianginals, platelet aggregation inhibitors, heart failure therapies, heparins and antithrombotic agents over the year before.Drugs in heart failure therapy-such as sacubitril and eplerenone-recorded an 83% increase in sales in the last five years and a 19% rise in the last 12 months to ₹1,304 crore, showed PharmaTrac data.Doctors attribute the increase in heart diseases to an unhealthy lifestyle, lack of sleep, rising diabetes and obesity, high levels of stress, long work hours, etc.Coronary artery disease"Over the last decade, and especially in the last 4-5 years, there is a significant shift of coronary artery disease towards the younger population between the age of 25 and 40 at an unheard of level," said Ganesh Kumar AV, director of cardiology at LH Hiranandani Hospital, Powai, Mumbai.Data also show a change in patient profile, with more people in their 30s and 40s reporting heart ailments - one in five heart attack patients in the country are younger than 40 years of age."Every large and small hospital in India receives this population of patients. One of the fundamental reasons for this is the lifestyle among the younger cohort-lack of sports activity in schools and colleges, increase in fast food consumption, lack of sleep with many youngsters being hooked onto gadgets-all of which is leading to a rise in childhood obesity which is also connected to heart diseases," according to Kumar.That apart, he said rising work pressure, stress level and no time to exercise among the young working population is resulting in heart ailments manifesting at 30-35 years versus 50-55 years earlier."Almost 18 million deaths are reported worldwide due to cardiovascular issues and one-fifth of those have been in India," said Amitabh Dube, country president and managing director, Novartis India.Of all the deaths in the country, 25% are related to cardiovascular issues, he added. "It's a huge unmet need and in India, the worry is that we see younger patient profiles increasing. The demographic direction is towards the younger population. Patients in their 30s and 40s are getting the problem."Dube noted, "We started looking at the key factors and saw the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), or 'bad cholesterol', getting bigger as a causative factor, where 50% of CV disease, plaque formation and elevated cholesterol are because of LDL-Cs."Additional risks for youthThe three major risk factors for heart ailment are diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. But Nihar Mehta, associate director, department of structural heart diseases at Mumbai's Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre, said that the last 4-5 years have seen new and additional risks contributing to a rise in cardiovascular disease among the younger population, including lifestyle, pollution and lack of sleep.

जागरण संवाददाता, पटना। आइआइटी के रिजल्ट में इस वर्ष भी गुवाहाटी जोन का परिणाम खराब रहा। गुवाहाटी जोन से कोई भी अभ्यर्थी आल इंडिया के टाप 100 में अपना स्थान इस वर्ष नहीं बना सका। वर्ष 2024 व वर्ष 2022 में यहां से दो-दो अभ्यर्थियों को टाप 100 में स्थान मिला था।

इस वर्ष भी टाप 500 में तीन अभ्यर्थी

वर्ष 2024 में टाप 500 में जोन के पांच अभ्यर्थियों को जगह मिली थी। वर्ष 2023 में गुवाहाटी जोन से टाप 100 में मात्र एक अभ्यर्थी शामिल थे, जबकि टाप 500 में तीन अभ्यर्थी शामिल थे। इस वर्ष भी टाप 500 में तीन अभ्यर्थी को जगह मिली है। उसकी आल इंडिया रैंकिंग की बात करें तो 161, 471, 478 बताया जा रहा है।

आइआइटी गुवाहाटी जोन में टाप 100 में कोई नहीं

आइआइटी कानपुर ने कहा कि आइआइटी गुवाहाटी जोन में टाप 100 में कोई नहीं है। पिछली कुछ सालों से आइआइटी गुवाहाटी जोन में टाप 10 में कोई भी अभ्यर्थी जगह नहीं बना पा रहे हैं। 2020 और 2021 के जेईई एडवांस में गुवहाटी जोन टाप 100 से बाहर था।

दो साल के बाद पुन: टाप 100 से बाहर

इस बार भी दो साल के बाद पुन: टाप 100 से बाहर हो गया। 2022 में जोन वाइज रिजल्ट देखें तो टाप 100 में गुवाहटी जोन से दो अभ्यर्थी ने जगह बनायी थी। 2022 में टाप 200 में पांच, टाप 300 में सात, टाप 400 में आठ और टाप 500 में 10 अभ्यर्थी ने जगह बनाई है।

2021 में टाप 200 में तीन, टाप 300 में पांच, टाप 400 में सात और 500 में केवल नौ अभ्यर्थी ही अपना स्थान बना पाये थे। वैसे जोन वाइज रिजल्ट में गुवाहाटी जोन सबसे नीचे है।

2020 में भी टाप 100 में गुवाहटी जोन से किसी अभ्यर्थी ने जगह नहीं बनायी थी, लेकिन 2020 में टाप 200 में चार, टाप 300 में सात, टाप 400 में आठ और 500 में केवल 12 अभ्यर्थी ने स्थान बनाया था। आइआइटी गुवाहाटी जोन में आने वाले राज्य अरुणाचल प्रदेश, असम, बिहार, मणिपुर, मेघालय, मिजोरम, सिक्किम, त्रिपुरा, सिंगापुर (भारत के बाहर) शामिल हैं।

गुवाहाटी जोन में बिहार के छात्रों ने किया बेहतर प्रदर्शन

जेईई मेन में बिहार से 15,476 अभ्यर्थी ने जेईई एडवांस में शामिल हुए थे। इसमें से बिहार के 11 सौ से अधिक अभ्यर्थी सफल हुए है। वैसे जोन में प्रदर्शन के मामले में बिहार के अभ्यर्थी का ही बेहतर प्रदर्शन रहा है। गुवाहाटी जोन से कुल 2743 अभ्यर्थी सफल हुए हैं, इसमें बिहार के 11 सौ से अधिक अभ्यर्थी शामिल हैं।
