Sudden deaths: Young hearts can stop, watch the junk plate

Dr Imamuddin Syed, head of the department of cardiology, Osmania Hospital, said that anyone with high stress jobs must undergo regular health checkups. "The age profile of those affected by heart attacks has changed from 40 years to 30 years and youngsters in the last 10 years have become more susceptible. So, everyone with even a single risk factor must be alert to the growing incidence of sudden cardiac arrest," he added.
