Nagpur neurosurgeon Dr. Chandrashekhar Pakhmode, 53, died of a heart attack on December 31, raising questions about overlooked cardiac risk factors. Despite being fitness-conscious with a recent clean ECG, his sudden death highlights potential triggers like stress, burnout, and insufficient sleep, particularly among medical professionals. Cardiologists suggest these factors, combined with severe blockages in major arteries like the LAD, can be critical, even when traditional markers appear normal.
