Coronary disease common among Indians

The coronary artery disease is the most common form of heart disease among Indians. Approximately 80 per cent of those who have heart problems suffer from this form of disease. "The reason of its prevalence is deposition of fats in arteries. A person should always maintain his or her health by taking proper diet, avoiding fats, regular exercise and de-stressing. A brisk walk of 45 minutes at least five days a week is really helpful in maintaining the health," said Dr Naresh Trehan, executive director and chief cardiac department, Apollo Hospital.
