The incident has brought attention to the growing trend of sudden cardiac arrests among young Indians in seemingly routine settings. Medical experts link these incidents to a mix of genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors.

Diabetes, sedentary habits, stress, air pollution, heavy workouts, and the misuse of steroids can also lead to cardiac arrests.

Cases of people collapsing at gyms, workplaces, and social events are becoming alarmingly frequent. Doctors stress on the importance of regular check-ups and proactive heart health management to combat these risks.
