Heart attack in young age
Dr. Rajesh TR, Senior Consultant – Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeon at Kauvery Hospitals, Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of lifestyle in maintaining heart health. Major risk factors include smoking, tobacco use, diabetes, hypertension, and lack of physical activity. He highlights that prevention through quitting smoking, regular exercise, and controlling medical conditions is far better than surgery. While advanced cases may require bypass or grafting, a healthy lifestyle helps ensure longer, healthier, and more independent lives.
