A recent National Statistical Office (NSO) survey reveals a threefold spike in cardiovascular ailments, rising from 1,333 per lakh population in 2017-18 to 3,891 in 2025.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>Cardiovascular conditions accounted for 2.1% of reported ailments among 15 to 29-year-olds and 15.3% among those aged 30 to 44 years. They were also behind 3.4% of hospitalisations among those in the 15 to 29 bracket and 7.3% among those aged 30 to 44. From 30 onwards, NSO identifies hypertension and diabetes as major contributors to cardiovascular and metabolic ailments. The ICMR-backed study found 53.4% of cardiovascular deaths in 2016 occurred before 70 years of age.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Delhi recorded 22,385 institutional deaths from heart attack and related heart diseases in 2023, compared with 8,576 in 2005; 21.9% of institutional heart disease deaths were among those aged 15 to 44. Studies point to a rise in obesity, hypertension and elevated blood glucose. In 2023, 1,595 of 10,080 people screened in Delhi were suspected to have hypertension.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Cases recently handled by Delhi doctors underline how the disease can present itself unexpectedly, especially in younger people who appear fit.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">CASE 1: Badminton Enthusiast, 38<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>He played badminton for an hour every day and had no diabetes or hypertension, never smoked, and didn\u2019t have a family history of heart disease. Suddenly, he began tiring after 30 minutes on court. A coronary angiography showed disease in all three major coronary arteries, with one completely blocked, prompting a triple bypass.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>\u201cThe patient had no conventional risk factors. The only thing he noticed was his stamina on the court had quietly dropped,\u201d says Dr Varun Bansal, senior consultant, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">CASE 2: 18-Year-Old Girl<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>When this otherwise healthy girl complained of severe palpitation, breathlessness and near-blackouts, doctors found her heart\u2019s pumping ability had fallen to 30%, while repeated episodes of dangerous ventricular tachycardia required emergency shocks. Enlarged, painless lymph nodes were spotted and a biopsy confirmed cardiac sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease affecting the heart.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>After high-dose steroids and medication, the arrhythmias stopped and her heart function improved to 45%-50%.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Dr KK Talwar, chairman, cardiology, PSRI Hospital, says it highlights the need to look beyond an \u201cidiopathic\u201d diagnosis in young patients with unexplained heart failure and dangerous arrhythmias.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Case 3: Heart attack at 37<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>A man just diagnosed with severely uncontrolled diabetes at 37 suffered an NSTEMI \u2013 a type of heart attack in which a coronary artery is severely blocked or narrowed, restricting blood flow to the heart muscle.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>He was found to have severe triple-vessel coronary artery disease and a reduced heart-pumping function. An urgent bypass surgery on three diseased coronary vessels was performed. \u201cSerious coronary artery disease can occur even at a young age, particularly when risk factors like uncontrolled diabetes and a sedentary lifestyle are present,\u201d says Dr Vaibhav Mishra, senior director, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Patparganj.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">CASE 4: 4 Blocked Arteries<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>This man visited RML Hospital with four months of exertional chest pain. Tests showed myocardial-infarction-related changes and tight blockages in all major coronary arteries. With no diabetes, hypertension or history of tobacco use, doctors probed genetic and metabolic factors and found his father had undergone bypass surgery. The man had to undergo a four-graft coronary artery bypass graft.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>\u201cCoronary artery diseases occur at an early age in today\u2019s generation, yet the presence of a genetic cause holds precedence,\u201d says Dr Narender Singh Jhajhria, cardio surgeon, RML.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/delhi\/30-something-heart-inside-a-threefold-spike-striking-young-india\/articleshow\/134548412.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A significant increase in cardiovascular diseases is noted among younger Indians, impacting populations previously thought healthy (AI image) NEW DELHI: Heart disease is increasingly showing up in Indians well before old age, catching even the physically fit off guard.
