Background: Cardio vascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global health burden, with India facing a significant increase due to rising prevalence and unique biological factors. The study will focus on assessing the prevalence of CVDs and associated risk factors, including hypertension and diabetes, to provide insights for effective public health interventions and policymaking. Methodology: A cross sectional study at tertiary care hospital in metropolitan city conducted to analyse the data of patients suffering with cardiovascular diseases. Retrospective data of 18+ adult patients for the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022 were included in the study. Variables like age, gender, residence, comorbidity, and hospital stay were tested to check association with cardio vascular diseases. Results: Two years data collection covering 1,297 cases of CVD shows a rise in cardiovascular diseases with stroke increasing from 56.58% to 61.39%. Stroke was the most common condition across all age groups and urban settings, while myocardial infarction (MI) and intra-cranial (IC) bleed remained relatively stable. Seasonal variations in disease peaks and dips were noted, and a significant association was found between hospital stay duration and disease type (p=0.047). Conclusion: The study reveals a rise in cardiovascular diseases, particularly stroke, with connections to age, urban settings, seasonal trends, comorbidities, and hospital stay duration, highlighting the need for focused public health strategies.
