Heart attack may no longer be the number one cause of death in the United States, but a cardiologist has warned that the more silent and slow -moving danger is now claiming more life, and often no one gets noticed until it is too late.
In a recent video posted on 8 July, US-based cardiologist Dr. Dimitri Yarnovan reported that the deaths related to the heart attack since the 1970s have come down by about 90%, the other chronic heart condition is quietly emerging as serious health risks.
Dr. Yarnova said in his video, “We defeated heart disease. It changed its shape.”
He said that thanks to medical advances, awareness and early interventions, the number of deaths caused by heart attack has decreased significantly, a major public health success, which he said, “We don’t talk enough.”
The New Threat: Chronic Heart Diseases
Despite that progress, Dr. Yarnovan said that the old state of heart failure, cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia is now increasing – and they are more insidious. Unlike the heart attack, these conditions often move forward, affect the quality of life and become uncontrolled until too late.
“The new crisis is not sudden, it is slow, progressive, and has often missed,” he said, “it’s not just about existence. It’s about the quality of life. Prevention still matters – but therefore there is a quick detection and access to special care.”
What to see: initial warning signal
In a follow -up post on 19 July, Dr. Yarnovan listed five initial warning signals that are often missed but can undergo heart issues. This includes:
- Jaw pain
- Tiredness
- Breath discomfort with regular activity
- Leg inflammation
- Erectile dysfunction
He urged people to pay attention to these subtle symptoms, consult a doctor early and wait until a major event occurred.
Why does it matter to India
While the data refers to the US, India is also seeing an increase in chronic heart diseases, especially among the young population. Cardiologists in India have seen a change in the condition of a heart attack to a long-term heart attack-often deteriorates due to lack of sedentary lifestyle, stress, poor diet and early screening.
As India fights with the increasing rate of diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure – all major risk factor for chronic heart disease – the message is clear: prevention, awareness and early identity can save life.
