Coronary Heart Disease – A Community Medicine Perspective

Understanding coronary heart disease (CHD) is essential in addressing one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. In this video, we explore the pathophysiology, risk factors, and prevention strategies from a community medicine perspective, offering insights into how public health interventions and individual lifestyle modifications can mitigate this critical health challenge.

This video provides a conceptual overview of CHD, emphasising the role of atherosclerosis in narrowing coronary arteries and leading to myocardial infarction. We discuss the epidemiology of CHD, highlighting past trends and current prevalence rates. The video also covers modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors, including smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and genetic predisposition. Public health strategies, such as promoting physical activity, healthy diets, and reducing tobacco use, are explained to highlight their impact on reducing disease burden.

With CHD being a global health concern, this content is crucial for healthcare professionals, medical students, and public health enthusiasts aiming to improve population health. It provides practical knowledge that bridges clinical insights with preventive strategies, enabling better decision-making and awareness.
