Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Bangladesh is currently facing the silent epidemic of CVD. Medications are a cornerstone of the prevention and management of CVD. Here we studied to assess the currently occurring CVD and their drug therapy in the northern and southern parts of Bangladesh through survey. In the prospective study, we assessed the condition of patients and frequently used drugs therapy with standard questionnaires by interviewing individuals (35 to 60 years old) with a history of coronary heart disease, admitted to some renowned governmental and non-governmental hospital in the northern and southern parts of Bangladesh. From the interview of 263 patients (177 male and 86 female) associated with diabetes were 63 and not associated with diabetes were 200, having asthma 92, smoking habit 97, high sodium intake tendency 93. The most frequently reported diseases were myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina (UA), hypertension (HTN), and stroke. Sometimes left ventricular failure (LVF) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) was also reported. The most prescribed drugs were diuretics and β-blockers. This survey provides unique contemporary data on characteristics and management of patients with CVD in northern and southern parts of Bangladesh.
