Obesity has emerged as the most potential cardiovascular risk factor and has raised concern among public and their health related issues not only in developed but also in developing countries. The Worldwide obesity occurrence has almost has gone three times since 1975. Research suggests there are about 775 million obese people in the World including adult, children, and adolescents. Nearly 50% of the children who are obese and overweight in Asia in are below 5 years. There is a steep incline of childhood obesity when compared to 1971 which is not only in developed countries but also in developing countries. A considerable amount of weight gain occurs during the transition phase from adolescence to young adulthood. It is also suggested that those adultswho were obese in childhood also remained obese in their adulthood with a higher metabolic risk than those who became obese in their adulthood. In India, the urban Indian female in the age group of 30-45 years have emerged as an 〝at risk population” for cardiovascular diseases. To understand how obesity can influence cardiovascular function, it becomes immense important to understand the changes which can take place in adipose tissue due to obesity. There are two proposed concepts explaining the inflammatory status of macrophage. The predominant cause of insulin resistance is obesity. Epidemiological and research studies have indicated that the pathogenesis of obesity-related metabolic dysfunction involves the development of a systemic, low-grade inflammatory state. It is becoming clear that targeting the pro-inflammatory pathwaymay provide a novel therapeutic approach to prevent insulin resistance, particularly in obesity inducedinsulin resistance. Some cost effective interventions that are feasible by all and can be implemented even in low-resource settings includes - population-wide and individual, which are recommended to be used in combination to reduce the greatest cardiovascular disease burden. The sixth target in the Global NCD action plan is to reduce the prevalence of hypertension by 25%. Reducing the incidence of hypertension by implementing population-wide policies to educe behavioral risk factors. Reducing cigarette smoking, body weight, blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood glucose all have a beneficial impact on major biological cardiovascular risk factors. A variety of lifestyle modifications have been shown, in clinical trials, to lower bloodpressure, includes weight loss, physical activity, moderation of alcohol intake, increased fresh fruit and vegetables and reduced saturated fat in the diet, reduction of dietary sodium intake, andincreased potassium intake. Also, trials of reduction of saturated fat and its partial replacement by unsaturated fats have improved dyslipidaemia and lowered risk of cardiovascular events. This initiative driven by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, State Governments, Indian Council of Medical Research and the World Health Organization are remarkable. The Government of India has adopted a national action plan for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) with specific targets to be achieved by 2025, including a 25% reduction inoverall mortality from cardiovascular diseases, a 25% relative reduction in the prevalence of raised blood pressure and a 30% reduction in salt/sodium intake. In a nutshell increased BMI values can predict the nature of obesity and its aftermaths in terms inflammation and other disease associated with obesity. It’s high time; we must realize it and keep an eye on health status in order to live long and healthy life.

Hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. A common polymorphism in the gene encoding the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), previously identified as the main genetic determinant of elevated homocysteine concentration and also recognized as a risk factor for CVD, appears to be independently associated with hypertension. The B-vitamin riboflavin is required as a cofactor by MTHFR and recent evidence suggests it may have a role in modulating blood pressure, specifically in those with the homozygous mutant MTHFR 677 TT genotype. If studies confirm that this genetic predisposition to hypertension is correctable by low-dose riboflavin, the findings could have important implications for the management of hypertension given that the frequency of this polymorphism ranges from 3 to 32 % worldwide.

Nowadays, more than 485 million people in the world suffer from cardiovascular diseases (CVD). According to large epidemiological studies, the group of CVD is the leading cause of death in the world. One of the neurohumoral mechanisms that appears to be a risk factor for CVD is thyroid dysfunction. In this regard, in recent years, more and more attention is paid to the study the influence of subclinical hypothyroidism on the occurrence and development of cardiovascular disorders.

Essential hypertension is high blood pressure that doesn't have any known etiopathology. Most of sufferers (85%) are asymptomatic and as per available reports, in more than 95% cases of hypertension under lying cause is not found. It is estimated that 600 million people are affected worldwide. Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Its impact is greatest on stroke, MI and end stage is renal failure as it’s known as a Silent Killer. Hence there is no direct reference of hypertension in Ayurvedic classics by name as well as by its path physiological views. Many works have been carried out on hypertension to evaluate the perfect diagnosis and mode of treatment on the basis of Different nomenclatures also have been adopted by Ayurveda experts like Raktagata Vata, Raktagata Vyana Vaisamya, Uccha Rakta Chapa, Raktavrita Vata, Siragata Vata etc. Keywords: Essential hypertension, Raktagata Vyana Vaisamya, Uccha Rakta Chapa, Cardiovascular diseases, Silent Killer.

Resistant hypertension is an important cardiovascular risk factor. This analysis of the JAMP study (Japan Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Prospective) data investigated the effects of uncontrolled resistant hypertension diagnosed using ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring on the risk of heart failure (HF) and overall cardiovascular events. The JAMP study patients with hypertension and no HF history were included. They had true resistant hypertension (24-hour BP ≥130/80 mm Hg), pseudoresistant hypertension (24-hour BP <130/80 mm Hg), well-controlled nonresistant hypertension (24-hour BP <130/80 mm Hg), or uncontrolled nonresistant hypertension (24-hour BP ≥130/80 mm Hg). The primary end point was total cardiovascular events, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (fatal/nonfatal stroke and fatal/nonfatal coronary artery disease), and HF. During 4.5±2.4 years of follow-up the overall incidence per 1000 person-years was 10.1 for total cardiovascular disease, 4.1 for stroke, 3.5 for coronary artery disease, and 2.6 for HF. The adjusted risk of total cardiovascular and HF events was significantly increased in patients with true resistant versus controlled nonresistant hypertension (hazard ratio, 1.66 [95% CI, 1.12–2.48]; P =0.012 and 2.24 [95% CI, 1.17–4.30]; P =0.015, respectively) and versus uncontrolled nonresistant hypertension (1.51 [1.03–2.20]; P =0.034 and 3.03 [1.58–5.83]; P <0.001, respectively). The findings were robust in a sensitivity analysis using a slightly different definition of resistant hypertension. True resistant hypertension diagnosed using ambulatory BP monitoring is a significant independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease events, especially for HF. This highlights the importance of diagnosing and effectively treating resistant hypertension. Registration: URL: https://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr ; Unique identifier: UMIN000020377.
