Rising Cardiac Youth Deaths

The alarming surge in cardiac arrests among young individuals has emerged as a growing public health concern across the country, including Jammu and Kashmir. Once considered a condition affecting primarily the middle-aged and elderly, heart attacks are now increasingly striking individuals in their 20s and 30s. Experts point to a toxic combination of rising stress levels, unhealthy lifestyles, excessive screen exposure, irregular sleep patterns, lack of physical activity, and undiagnosed health conditions as contributing factors. This silent epidemic is catching families and communities off guard, turning celebrations into mourning in the blink of an eye.
