According to Dr Deepankar Vatsa, Senior Consultant-Cardiology at Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, Omega-1, Greater Noida, "For many years, heart disease was perceived as a problem related to older people.
Nonetheless, the situation is changing very fast now.
At present, doctors observe the increasing number of cases when heart attacks occur in people who are only in their 30s and 40s."
He explained that prolonged sitting, stress, poor sleep, unhealthy diets, smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise are accelerating the process of atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty deposits inside the arteries.
This means cholesterol management cannot wait until middle age.
