Cardiac problems are increasingly affecting people in their 30s, a trend that is particularly evident in Kolkata. Sedentary work patterns, irregular eating habits, high stress levels, and excessive consumption of fried and sugary foods are major contributing factors. Likewise, Kolkata’s cultural preference for calorie-rich, traditional foods amplifies the risk. Experts emphasise that preventive health screenings and lifestyle changes can drastically reduce the likelihood of heart disease. Regular cardiac check-ups are important for everyone, even those who feel healthy, as early detection can prevent serious complications later.

Heart problems are no longer limited to older people, as even young adults are being detected with them.
