The increasing number of deaths due to heart attack among youngsters has become a matter of grave concern. And Wednesday’s case of a young surgeon from Gandhi Hospital dying of heart attack has shocked the State’s medical fraternity.
But, doctors are yet to find out the real reasons behind this growing incidence. One of the top cardiologists from Hyderabad underscored that the causes leading to heart attack among the younger population are not yet known.
According to senior cardiologist from KIMS Dr. B. Hygriv Rao, there is a need for research into what is leading to heart attack among the youth. The profile of heart attack patients in India is different from other countries.
