Experts Warn of Rising Heart Disease and Sudden Cardiac Events Among Young Adults in India

Recent reports highlight a rising incidence of heart disease and sudden cardiac events among young adults in India, including those in their 30s and 40s. Experts attribute this trend to lifestyle factors such as stress, sedentary habits, metabolic disorders, and unrecognized risk factors like hypertension and family history. Cardiologists recommend early, non-invasive screenings like ECGs and lipid profiles for younger individuals, even if asymptomatic, to detect silent heart conditions and prevent sudden cardiac arrests, which can affect both apparently fit and truly fit individuals.
