Heart disease rising among Odisha youth

According to state government data, heart attacks account for 282 deaths per lakh population, marking it as a leading cause of mortality in the region.

Heart disease, once considered a condition of the elderly, is increasingly striking India’s youth — with fatal cases now reported in individuals as young as 17. Nationwide, heart-related ailments contribute to nearly 25 per cent of all deaths, with the Cardiology Society of India estimating around 3 million heart attacks annually.

Several high-profile deaths have brought the issue into focus — actor Siddhaanth-Suryavanshi, singer KK, comedian RajuSrivastava, and reality TV star SidharthShukla all died young due to cardiac arrest. More recently, reports claimed that Shefali Jariwala, known for the song Kaanta Laga, also died of cardiac arrest.
