Doctors explained the high incidence of heart attacks among young people
Over the past decade, an alarming trend has been observed – the number of cases of heart attacks is increasing every year. Moreover, it is not only the elderly who suffer, but also young people. Cardiologist Nick Linker told the Daily Mail regarding this.
He noted that over the past ten years, the number of heart attacks among 20-24-year-olds, 30-34-year-olds and 35-39-year-olds has increased by almost 25%.
Experts attribute the disappointing trend to several factors, including obesity. It turned out that excess weight leads to “clogging” of the arteries through the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which can cause a cessation of blood flow in the coronary arteries. Risk factors also include smoking, vaping and alcohol abuse.
The doctor added that in general, men are more susceptible to developing a heart attack than women. Among the primary symptoms:
dizziness and nausea; shortness of breath; persistent chest pain and heart rhythm disturbances; cold sweat; loss of consciousness.
