#India is witnessing an extreme heatwave, with 98 of the world's 100 hottest cities in the country alone. Beyond immediate effects like heat stroke and dehydration, a far more systemic risk is already unfolding: the impact of rising temperatures on cardiovascular health. Heatwaves, in particular, are emerging as a major public health threat due to their increasing intensity and duration. Despite facing a high burden of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, are we prepared to tackle heart emergencies? @DrDPrabhakaran, Executive Director, @INDIACCDC writes for @ndtvindia in this opinion piece.

We’re delighted to share that @DrDPrabhakaran, Executive Director, @INDIACCDC and President-elect of the @worldheartfed, was invited to deliver a talk in Sri Lanka for the Lanka India Knowledge Exchange - Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme for consultants. His talk, “Dyslipidaemia in the South Asian Phenotype: Why Global Guidelines Need Local Interpretation,” highlighted the urgent need for region-specific approaches to cardiovascular prevention and care in South Asians, who often face a disproportionately higher and earlier burden of heart disease. Prof. Prabhakaran spoke about the importance of earlier screening, going beyond conventional LDL-C assessment to better understand lipid-related risk, and adopting culturally relevant lifestyle interventions alongside more intensive prevention strategies. The discussions focused on how precision prevention can help improve cardiovascular outcomes across South Asia. #CCDC #CardiovascularHealth #Dyslipidemia #SouthAsianHealth #SriLanka #SouthAsia #PreventiveCardiology #HeartHealth #CME #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth
