India's Millennial Heart Attack Surge: Causes and Solutions
Heart attacks are becoming more common in young people in India.
This is because of a mix of things.
Some people have genes that make them more likely to have heart problems.
Also, how we live now, like sitting at a desk, eating unhealthy food, and being stressed, makes it worse.
Luckily, doctors and companies are finding ways to help, like using new technology to find problems early and teaching people how to live healthier lives.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in India, affecting younger populations.
Experts highlight genetics and AI-driven diagnostics for early risk detection.
Workplace culture, including stress and sedentary lifestyles, contributes to the problem.
Corporate wellness programs are expanding to include health checks and fitness challenges.
Advanced imaging technologies are improving treatment and intervention.
