In a worrying trend, heart attacks, which were previously believed to affect only older individuals, have been equally prevalent among younger people in recent years.
In fact, heart diseases contribute significantly to global deaths and their prevalence has risen in India in the recent past.
Leading health experts have attributed the rising cardiac arrests and related issues to fast-paced modern-day living and subtle alterations in habits in keeping with the changing times.
In a conversation with ANI, Dr Naresh Trehan, a world-renowned cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgeon, said the stress around everyday living and pollution are taking a toll on people and contributing to a significant spike in cardiac events, including among younger people.
