There have been several recent incidents that highlight the seriousness of the issue. A man recently died of cardiac arrest during a Haldi ceremony in the Kalapathar area, and a police constable named Vishal, who was only 24 years old, died of a cardiac arrest during a workout at a gym in Bowenpally area.
So what is causing this increase in heart attacks? There are several factors at play, including an aging population, an increase in unhealthy lifestyle choices, and a rise in stress levels.
As people get older, their risk of heart disease increases. This is partly due to the fact that the arteries that supply blood to the heart can become narrower and less flexible over time, making it more difficult for blood to flow through them. Additionally, older people may be more likely to have other health conditions that can contribute to heart disease, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
Unhealthy lifestyle choices are also a major contributor to the rise in heart attacks. A diet that is high in saturated fats and cholesterol can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can eventually lead to a heart attack. Lack of physical activity can also increase the risk of heart disease.
Stress is another significant factor in the increase in heart attacks. When people are under stress, their bodies release hormones that can cause their heart rate to increase and their blood vessels to narrow. Over time, this can damage the heart and lead to an increased risk of heart disease.
To reduce the risk of heart attacks, it is important to make healthy lifestyle choices, such as eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and managing stress levels. It is also important to see a doctor regularly to monitor blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as to screen for other risk factors such as diabetes.
