 I am Professor P.S. Balaji, Senior Interventional Cardiologist, Munipal Hospital, Salt Lake, Calcutta. Today I am going to discuss a very important subject, heart attack in young individual 40 years or less. So, with the rapid speed of the life in the recent scenario, there is increased stress of the life leading to huge number of cases of heart attack in the young individual. And this is a very important agenda we have to address and to treat accordingly. Now, the major causes of this heart attack in the young one is genetic factor. If the parents, any of the parents being heart patient or diet suddenly below the age of 50 or 55, the siblings are at risk of developing heart attack at the early age. So, this group must be very cautious when there is either father or mother or any other family member, first degree relative experience heart attack in the early age group. Next is the increasing incidence of diabetes, particularly in Southeast Asia, where the diabetes is increasing as compared to the north part of the hemisphere like Europe or USA. So, the Indian people or citizens are more prone to have diabetes. Next is the inadequate exercise that is also very important because people are now confined at home in front of the laptop, particularly after the outbreak of the COVID. There is a lack of exercise and taking a lot of junk food and ordering food online and thereby taking a lot of calories as well. And minimum exercise being done, calorie burnt out and another important risk factor is smoking, then is alcohol abuse, high blood pressure and cholesterol or dyslipidemia or hypercholesterolemia. So, all these factors together results in the increased number of heart attack in the young individual. So, to prevent it, the most important point is the lifestyle modification. One must be very serious about that, that they should take care of their body weight. They should have a healthy heart checkup once in a year to see any these factors they are carrying and to correct those these factors and quitting the habit of smoking, alcohol intake and regular exercise particularly minimum 30 minutes risk walking or sweat producing walking and the checking of their blood pressure and other parameters so that they are not the risky people to have the heart attack. So, lifestyle modification, exercise, correction of any these factors are all important things to prevent this heart attack at the young age. So, to conclude my talk, I must say you should remain healthy, happily as the heart is concerned if you are conscious about your diet, about your body weight, about your these factors. Thank you.
