Public knowledge of cardiovascular disease and response to acute cardiac events in three cities in China and India

Abstract: Overall, we found low to modest knowledge of CVD risk factors and AMI symptoms, infrequent CPR training and little understanding of AEDs. Interventions will need to focus on basic principles of CVD and its complications in order for patients to receive timely and appropriate care for acute cardiac events.

“…Compared with public knowledge of CVD risk factors and AMI symptoms in both developed and developing countries, respondents in this study were overall less likely to have knowledge of any CVD risk factor, and generally less knowledgeable of common CVD risk factors, including hyperglycaemia, smoking, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity. 11 19 20 Furthermore, CPR knowledge was lower than what has been reported in Beijing, Shanghai, 11 and other international contexts. 9 An important finding from this investigation is that lower levels of education and lower socioeconomic status were consistent predictors of lower knowledge across all categories included in this survey.…”

When compare to developed countries, mass CPR training is not widely spread across in developing countries including China and India [7]. However, numerous measurements of mass training in bystanders-CPR and AED was trying to perform, one is building a team of mass CPR instructors from local health-care providers.…”
