Heart disease is no longer confined to middle age. Doctors in Mumbai are witnessing a sharp rise in cardiac cases among younger adults, a new report reveals.
The report is a part of insights from the month-long Heart Health Insights Survey conducted by Wockhardt Hospitals in Mumbai Central.
It coincides with World Heart Day, observed every year on September 29 to raise awareness about the need to take care of your heart along with timely checkups. This year, the theme is 'Don't Miss A Beat'.
