The rising obese population is one major cause of heart attack. According to the WHO, the worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly tripled between 1975 and 2016. All these factors are driving the demand anticipated to propel the demand for these medicines across the globe as doctors are focusing on a combination of risk factors for these diseases, implementing medical screening for individuals at risk, and then providing effective treatment to prevent disability and death while improving quality of life. Also, these medicines are suitable for the patients who suffered a heart attack as these medicines lower the risks of another heart attack. Furthermore, a growing number of heart attacks is propelling the demand for these medicines.
