Salt consumption is now much greater than needed for survival. High salt intake increases blood pressure in both animals and humans. Conversely, a reduction in salt intake causes a dose-dependent reduction in blood pressure in men and women of all ages and ethnic groups, and in patients already on medication. The risk of strokes and heart attacks rises with increasing blood pressure, but can be decreased by antihypertensive drugs. However, most cardiovascular disease events occur in individuals with ‘normal’ blood pressure levels. Non-pharmacological prevention is therefore the only option to reduce such events. Reduction in population salt intake reduces the number of vascular events. It is one of the most important public health measures to reduce the global cardiovascular burden. Salt reduction policies are powerful, rapid, equitable, and cost saving. The World Health Organization recommends reducing salt consumption below 5 g per day aiming at a global 30% reduction by 2025. A high potassium intake lowers blood pressure in people with and without hypertension. Its beneficial effects extend beyond blood pressure, and may include a reduction in the risk of stroke (independent of blood pressure changes). Potassium intake in the Western world is relatively low, and a lower potassium intake is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, especially stroke. A moderate increase in potassium intake, either as supplement or with diet, reduces blood pressure, and the World Health Organization has issued global recommendations for a target dietary potassium intake of at least 90 mmol/day (≥3510 mg/day) for adults.

Latar belakang :  World Health Organization (WHO) 2013 mengemukakan bahwa non-communicable disease (NCDs) merupakan tantangan kesehatan terbesar pada abad 21. Dari seluruh angka morbiditas NCDs, jumlah cardiovascular disease (CVD) merupakan yang terbesar yaitu 17,3 juta jiwa/ tahun.  Berkaitan dengan diabetes, pada sebagian penderita diabetes tipe dua atau intoleransi glukosa, didapatkan serangkaian faktor risiko yang muncul bersamaan dengan faktor risiko CVD. Fenomena tersebut disebut dengan kejadian sindrom metabolik. Tujuan : memberikan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kepada kader untuk melakukan screening sindrom metabolik sehingga pengurus maupun peserta majlis taklim bisa mengubah pola hidup menjadi lebih sehat lagi. Metode : metode yang digunakan adalah koordinasi, pemberdayaan sumber daya manusia, promosi dan sosialisasi kader, pelatihan kader, penyusunan buku pedoman kader, pelaksanaan jasa layanan kesehatan, evaluasi kegiatan, dan pelaporan pencatatan kegiatan. Hasil : menghasilkan empat kader terlatih dan hasil pada peserta bahwa kategori usia dewasa akhir, lansia akhir dan manula lebih rentan terkena Sindrom Metabolik. Hasil akhir yang diharapkan dari kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk mengetahui pentingnya pengetahuan tentang sindrome metabolik. Kesimpulan :  Pemberian penyuluhan dan pelatihan kader dalam screening sindrome mmetabolik dapat menambah  pengetahuan dan wawasan  pengurus majlis taklim masjid Al Mustaqim Di Sanggrahan Ngestiharjo Kasihan Bantul.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020. The clinical spectrum of COVID-19 can range from asymptomatic to severe symptoms and even death. Recent studies show that a growing number of patients with COVID-19 will experience prolonged symptoms (Post-Acute Sequalae of SARS-CoV-2), which now days known as “Long Covid”. A team of researchers from Italy reported that nearly 9 in 10 patients discharged were still experiencing at least one symptom 60 days after infection. Symptoms reported are fatigue, dyspnea, joint pain, chest pain, and other uncommon symptoms. Through ACE2 surface receptor, SARS-CoV-2 has been linked to cardiovascular events. As PASC symptoms vary widely, cardiovascular sequelae need to be considered through lifetime management. Therefore, this review aims to summarize an update of the long covid effect on Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), the impacts, and Post-Acute Sequalae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC) management.

Statistics from the National Population Census of China revealed a significant increase in the Chinese population, from 590 million in 1953 to 1.26 billion in 2000. The average life expectancy increased to 71.4 years in 2000 compared with the expectancy of 68.6 years a decade before. World Health Organization statistics on the death rate for total cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke in men and women aged 35–74 years revealed discrepancies between rural and urban parts of China. The China Multicenter Collaborative Study of Cardiovascular Epidemiology indicated that cardiovascular disease was the major cause of death for both men and women, with stroke accounting for over 40% of deaths. Ischemia was shown to be the most common subtype of stroke in both sexes. Smoking was an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The World Health Organization reported that the death rate attributable to tobacco was 6.0% worldwide and 9.2% in China in 1990. The latter is projected to reach 16.6% by 2020. In China, the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, the two key risk factors of cardiovascular disease, have also increased significantly in the past 20 years. In addition, elevated blood pressure and plasma cholesterol were two important determinants of increased cardiovascular disease in eastern Asia. These studies indicate that an integrated management of comprehensive risk is urgently required to address China’s increasing cardiovascular disease burden.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have now become the leading cause of mortality or even morbidity in India. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease causes 12 million deaths in the world each year. Even with all the advancements in medicine, the management of CVD’s are yet to be redefined. Ayurveda proposes a different understanding to etiopathogenesis of such conditions and subsequent healthcare, in the context of hrdroga. Latest researches in Ayurveda have given a new hope in CVDs, the curative as well as preventive aspects. With the emergence of increasing number of cardiac problems from the young age itself, it is the time to explore various options available in the alternative areas of medicine. Herbs and dietary supplements can have significant role in preventive cardiology as well as per published studies. Equivalent is the management of associative psychological contributors. In this article, research works of medicinal plants useful in cardiology are described with special emphasis on rasona, arjuna, guggulu, amalaki and gokshura. This work emphasises the scope of such practice so as to popularize the options available in Ayurvedic literature.
