In India, heart problems touch all parts of life, hitting folks of every age. In the wake of the post-COVID-19 era, India faces a critical state of cardiovascular health marked by a troubling increase in heart attacks among younger demographics. This alarming trend highlights significant challenges and underscores the urgent need for targeted intervention and prevention strategies. Factors contributing to this rise include shifts in lifestyle behaviours, such as decreased physical activity levels, heightened stress levels, and dietary changes preferring processed foods high in sugars and fats. These lifestyle shifts have collectively intensified the burden of cardiovascular diseases across the country, impacting both urban and rural populations.
