Still waiting for the video of the fat guy collapsing at McDonalds. Looks like I'll NEVER see that!

Seems like Indian got 2 heart and both under heart attack.

Plus changing to more Western diet, especially younger people.

The total number of sudden deaths in 2022 at a staggering 56,450 is indicative of a disturbing upward trajectory over the past three years. Within this spectrum, the specific category of heart attack deaths has also seen a sharp rise, with the numbers lowering at first from 28,579 in 2020 to 28,413 in 2021, and then spiking to 32,457 in 2022.

Consider this: It’s a myth that heart disease is a man’s problem. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in India, accounting for almost 18% of all female deaths.

Shockingly, the mortality rate due to heart disease among Indian women is higher than that of breast cancer and other cancers combined.

Some aspects of the CVD epidemic in India are particular causes of concern, including its accelerated buildup, the early age of disease onset in the population, and the high case fatality rate. This explains why CVD is often referred to as being the silent killer, an epidemic, or a ticking bomb waiting to explode and adversely impact Indian populations.

Prevalent heart conditions and their primary causes
The session began with Bhatt diving into the heart of the matter urging the cardiologists to share insights into the common heart conditions and their primary causes.

Dr. Seth concurred that India seems to be a hub for heart disease, much like Southeast Asia, while pointing out that the “most prevalent heart disease is coronary artery disease, which accounts for 80% of the cases.”

However, there are other significant aspects to consider, such as strokes and peripheral arterial disease, both categorised under cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Seth also delved into other aspects of heart disease, namely, conditions like rheumatic fever, which affects “2% of our population”. It is usually triggered by a streptococcus throat infection followed by an immunological reaction.

“The causes of coronary artery disease are well-recognised, including factors like diet, smoking, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, all prevalent in our country,” said Dr. Seth. Congenital heart diseases are also prevalent, along with cardiac arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy (affecting the heart muscle). “By far the strongest and the most killing of the disease processes is coronary artery disease.

We would say that India is the world capital for coronary artery disease; 20% of the deaths due to heart attacks across the world originate in India. Therefore, prevention of heart coronary artery disease constitutes automatically a prevention of heart disease in our country,” stressed Dr. Seth.

Expanding on Dr. Seth's insights, Dr. Mehta elaborated on the risk factors for heart disease in India. He primarily categorised these into two groups: correctable and non-correctable risk factors. For instance, non-correctable factors include family history and the ageing process, which are beyond individual control. On the other hand, there are numerous correctable factors that individuals can manage.

For example, maintaining good control of diabetes and hypertension, abstaining from smoking, controlling obesity by mindful eating habits, prioritising exercise over sedentary activities, and managing stress effectively. “As you increase your waistline, so you decrease your lifeline,” emphasised Dr. Mehta.

Perhaps a telling fact is that many individuals only discover that they have underlying conditions of hypertension or diabetes during insurance examinations, underscoring the importance of regular check-ups for our bodies, just as we prioritise regular maintenance for our vehicles.

It’s also critical to recognise that some risk factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and stress, often go unnoticed.

"I would say coronary artery disease is firstly picked up by knowing your risk factors. Secondly, 25% of coronary artery disease, which involves blockages in the arteries of the heart, goes unnoticed and is asymptomatic, particularly in diabetics,” said Dr. Seth.

Outlining the common symptoms of heart disease, Dr. Seth focused on coronary artery disease—the biggest killer in India and Southeast Asia.

“The typical indicator of heart disease or blockage is when you briskly walk and experience chest discomfort or pressure, which gradually subsides as you slow down.

This sensation may also occur while climbing stairs briskly, going for a long walk, or during any urgent activity requiring sudden exertion.

However, not everyone experiences these symptoms, which is why I emphasise that 25% of coronary artery disease cases are asymptomatic,” explained Dr. Seth.

A study published in The Lancet recently concluded that the prevalence of insufficient physical activity (PA) among adults has been increasing globally since 2000.

The report says it has increased from an estimated 23.4% in 2000 to 31.3% in 2022. Of concern to readers here is that it has increased from 22.3% to 49.4% in the same period for India. It is important to note that insufficient PA means less than 150 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity in a week.

For PA to protect the heart, it must make the heart work more than usual, indicated by an increase in heart rate or breathing harder, and must be done for at least 10 minutes at a stretch.

PA has been shown to prevent many cardiometabolic diseases as well as cancers. And no, yoga is not counted as PA.

More Indians are heading for the gym due to these reports and that's why we see more of these videos.

He saw a train out the window, then the treadmill electrocuted him and he drowned on his curry lunch. Sadly, he died, but his best buds did the ceremonial twerk to help his soul reach heaven.

and foreign mRNA parts in your blood (via vaccine) can cause any issue

You mean a translation like that Johnson & Johnson won rat poison suffer two strokes recently stay away from that one for a guy

My theory is that they must have internal infections and suffer inflamation of the pericardium as a result of the filth that surrounds the average Indian citizen.
