Cases of heart attack among young people have increased dramatically in recent years. According to a research, 20% of the total heart attack cases worldwide are in those under 40 years of age, while 40% of patients in India are under 40 years of age. Cricketer Sourav Ganguly (48) also suffered a heart attack a few days back. You may have wondered if such a fit person could have a heart attack. After all, what are the things that weaken your heart?
A few years ago, it was thought that the disease associated with coronary artery blockage was a disease of the elderly, but now it is a thing of the past. Over time, the hearts of young people also weaken. Young people under the age of 40 also fall prey to this. It was also observed that the risk of death from heart attack in young patients is the same as the risk of death in the elderly. According to a research, more than 30 million people in the country suffer from heart related diseases.
There is a long way to go to stay fit and healthy
Even if you look healthy on the outside, such a person can still have a heart attack. The condition of a fit person's heart is such that it is very difficult to tell from the outside what percentage of cholesterol is in the arteries. However, taking into account your own fitness can reduce the risk of this. But even a fit person can have many reasons for having a heart attack. In particular, genetic risk factors are involved in family history. Young people 35 years of age or older, whose parents have had a heart attack, need to have a treadmill test to see if they are healthy. Exercise as much as your body can during this test.
If you are 35 years of age or older.
After the age of 35 to 40, many people think that they can get rid of heart diseases by exercising all of a sudden, but starting any kind of exercise without proper advice can also do the opposite damage to your body. Instead of benefiting, it hurts you.
