Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are long-lasting conditions like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease. NCDs cause 63% of deaths worldwide with annual deaths projected to rise to 52 million by 2030. NCDs place a large economic burden on individuals and societies through medical costs, lost productivity and income. At a country level, NCDs reduce life expectancy, deplete the labor force and lower GDP and GNI growth. References are made to WHO publications and reports from the World Economic Forum and Harvard School of Public Health on estimating the economic impact of NCDs.
Jeffrey Meer, Special Advisor for Global Health at the Public Health Institute, discusses the toll of non-communicable diseases on the developing world and what civil society can do, and dispels common myths.
A non-communicable disease (NCD) is a medical condition or disease that is not caused by infectious agents (non-infectious or non-transmissible). NCDs can refer to chronic diseases which last for long periods of time and progress slowly. Sometimes, NCDs result in rapid deaths such as seen in certain diseases such as autoimmune diseases, heart diseases, stroke, cancers, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts, and others. While sometimes referred to as synonymous with "chronic diseases", NCDs are distinguished only by their non-infectious cause, not necessarily by their duration, though some chronic diseases of long duration may be caused by infections. Chronic diseases require chronic care management, as do all diseases that are slow to develop and of long duration.
NCDs are the leading cause of death globally. In 2012, they caused 68% of all deaths (38 million) up from 60% in 2000. About half were under age 70 and half were women.Risk factors such as a person's background, lifestyle and environment increase the likelihood of certain NCDs. Every year, at least 5 million people die because of tobacco use and about 2.8 million die from being overweight. High cholesterol accounts for roughly 2.6 million deaths and 7.5 million die because of high blood pressure.

Social Determinants and Economic Burden of Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) on...Ruby Med Plus
India is home to almost one fifth of world’s population living in different states and differ in their ethnic origin, culture and various other ways that influence their health status.
National Health Policy 2017 address the issue of NCDs.
There exist dual burden of NCDs and Infectious and maternal-child disease across different states of India.
This puts challenging situation to Indian Health Care System which must be tackled by larger health investments and a balanced approach in reducing infectious and maternal-child diseases and also blunt the rising tide of NCDs and Injuries.
Since 1990’s, the contribution of most of the major non-communicable disease groups like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, mental health and neurological disorders, cancers, musculoskeletal disorders, and chronic kidney disease to the total disease burden has increased all over India.
In 2016, three of the five leading individual causes of disease burden in India were non-communicable diseases, with ischaemic heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as the top two causes and stroke as the fifth leading cause.
In 2016, the NCD burden across India was 9-fold for ischaemic heart disease, 4-fold for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 6-fold for stroke, and 4-fold for diabetes.
Risks factors like unhealthy diet, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and overweight, which mainly contribute to ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Non communicable disease account for a large and increasing burden of disease worldwide. It is currently estimated that non communicable disease accounts for approximately 60% of global deaths and 43% of global disease burden. This is projected to increase to 73% of deaths and 60% of disease burden by 2020.

The Future of Cardiology (2018 – 2030): Advanced Treatments to Combat the Global Advance of Cardiovascular Diseases. I presented this at Conference Series Cardiology Conference 2017 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 09/01/2017. I first look the the number of people globally affected by cardiovascular diseases. Then I look at the cumulative "lost productivity" globally as a result of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Following that, I look at the total costs of treating cardiovascular diseases globally. Then I present the reasons why cardiovascular diseases are rising so rapidly throughout the world - lifestyle/clinical. Then I look at the rates of smoking throughout the world; one of the main culprits of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The next slides look at the "Gold Standard" of care for coronary artery diseases (CAD), congestive heart failure (CHF), and aortic valve disease. I also present what is driving industry consolidation and associated major transactions. I then provide some perspective on the future of interventional cardiology. And finally, I provide some insight into "evolving technologies" for cardiovascular care and interventional cardiovascular care. It was a lengthy presentation, but I feel, all critical. This is a very complex field. It takes at least 12 continuous years of education and training to become an interventional or non-interventional cardiologist (4 years pre-med, 3 years medical school, 3 years medical residency, 2 years fellowship (where a cardiologist selects and trains on their cardiovascular specialties)). Some authorities are even calling for post-fellowship training for procedures like transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and pacemaker/ICD implantation.

Burden of cardiovascular diseases in Indians: Estimating trends of coronary a...Apollo Hospitals
The global trends in disease specific mortalities indicate that ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of death in age group ≥60 years. It is also being recognized that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and their risk factors are emerging as primary health problems in India with all socioeconomic groups being equally vulnerable. Though the high mortality rates due to CVDs in India may have major economic repercussions, the analysis on economic impact of CVDs remains incomplete, because of inadequate coverage of these diseases in India's vital event registration and absence of surveillance systems for disease specific mortality data. The per capita expenditure on health by public sector is very low making the poor to go for costly private healthcare facilities. We discuss here the burden of CAD and its risk factors in India and need for using population and individual based prevention strategies to halt and reverse the CVD epidemic. The country will need to create data for technical and operational factors for making prevention and control of CVDs feasible. National and international multidisciplinary collaborations will be needed to address the challenge posed by CVDs.

2. Defining NCDs
• Diseases of long duration, generally slow
progression and they are the major cause of
adult mortality and morbidity
worldwide.(WHO 2005)
• 4 major NCDs contributing most of NCDs
deaths:
– CVD, Cancer, Chronic respiratory disease, DM
5. • Of the 57 million global deaths in 2008, 36
million or 63% were due to NCDs.
• Annual NCD deaths are projected to rise to 52
million by 2030, accounting for 75% of all
deaths

1) The cost of illness approach (COI)
(most common method used)- medical cost,
on-medical cost and income losses.
2) The economic growth approach (value of lost
output)
3) The value of statistical life approach (VSL)

12. Disease Economy
• General Perspective :
- Deprive individual’s health and productive potential
- Challenges household’s income and savings
- Compete investment’s activities
• Countries’ Perspective :
- Reduce life expectancy and economy downturn
- Depleting country’s labour force
- Lower GDP and GNI
