Sometimes while dancing and sometimes while doing gym, youth between 16 to 45 years are losing their lives. Many times it seems that a certain person was completely healthy, then how did everything suddenly end? AIIMS New Delhi conducted a study regarding such matters, in which big revelations have been made. Let us tell you about it in detail.
This thing came to light in the study
An AIIMS study revealed that heart disease is the biggest cause of sudden death among youth in India. Actually, youth are suddenly losing their lives due to coronary artery disease i.e. blockage in the arteries. Let us tell you that this research was done from May 2023 to April 2024. In fact, the Department of Forensic Medicine and Pathology of AIIMS investigated 2214 postmortems. Of these, 180 cases (8.1%) were considered sudden death. Of these, 57.2% i.e. in 103 cases, the age of those who lost their lives were between 18 to 45 years, who looked completely healthy.
Why is heart disease the biggest reason?
According to research, 42.6% of sudden deaths among youth were due to heart related reasons. Among these, most of the cases were found of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), where 70% or more blockage was found in the arteries of the heart. The left anterior descending (LAD) artery was most affected, which is most important for the heart. According to Dr. Sudhir Arawa, Professor of Pathology Department of AIIMS and the lead author of this study, most of the youth never got heart checkup done. He did not even take any medicine. The disease continued to progress silently and suddenly became fatal.
These reasons also came to light
- 21.3% of deaths were due to respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis or suffocation due to vomit while sleeping (especially among those who drank alcohol).
- In some cases, ectopic pregnancy or uterine rupture was observed in women.
- In 21.3% of the cases, the cause was not found even after investigation. This was considered to be an electrical problem of the heart (arrhythmia), which is not detected in postmortem.
When and where do most deaths occur?
- More than 55% of deaths occurred at home.
- 30% of deaths occurred during travel.
- 40% of deaths occurred while sleeping at night or early in the morning.
According to family members, before death, symptoms like sudden fainting, chest pain, shortness of breath or stomach pain were seen.
No connection with Covid vaccine or infection
The research clearly states that no relation was found between these deaths due to Covid vaccination or Covid infection. Most people had taken the vaccine, but deaths occurred due to chronic heart disease. According to Dr. Sudhir Arawa, we studied about 100 youth deaths in a year. No case related to the vaccine was found. There was only one case of myocarditis, but that too was not found to be linked to the vaccine.
Why are heart problems happening in youth?
- According to experts, heart diseases are secretly increasing among the youth these days. Let us know their main reasons.
- smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
- Stress and sedentary lifestyle (less physical effort)
- Junk food, obesity and diabetes/high BP
- If someone in the family has had a heart attack at a young age, the risk is higher.
- Undetected High BP or Cholesterol
