Karnataka has witnessed a concerning rise in heart attack cases over the past few days, with several deaths reported among young adults aged between 25 and 30.

Experts emphasize preventive measures such as daily physical activity, regular heart screenings, and lifestyle changes. “Everyone should walk or exercise at least 30 minutes a day, avoid deep-fried and high-sugar foods, and get 7–8 hours of quality sleep,” Dr. Sadananda advised.
The sudden rise in cardiac deaths has sparked a broader conversation about modern lifestyles and environmental toxins, prompting calls for immediate research and public health intervention.
