In the 74th edition of Monday Review, TOI weekly home update of print news from Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula, we put cardiac disease under the microscope and find out how work stress, hours hunched on computer, and unhealthy eating are damaging young hearts. The new normal has instituted a professional system where lines between life and work are blurred. India sits on a cardiovascular disease or CVD volcano which is projected to kill more than 2.3 crore people worldwide in 2020, while CAD or coronary arterial disease has more than doubled in two decades. The Global Burden of Disease attributes 24.8% of all Indian deaths to CVDs. World Health Organization projects that by 2030, this figure will be 35%. That will make CVD the biggest Indian killer. Covid-19 affects the heart and post-recovery can lead to myocarditis or inflamed hearth muscles, acute or decompensated heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, and thromboembolic events or blood clots in subjects with or without pre-existing CVD. PGI cardiologist professor Rajesh Vijayvergia explained why screening was essential every six months. Covid patients should be screened for cardiac disease in case of continuing palpitations, chest pain, or shortness of breath. Follow-ups are a must. TOI also teaches you how to check your blood pressure at home and what diet plan to follow for a healthy heart. But something that isn't for the weak of heart has started 40 kilometres from Chandigarh. Haryana tourism begins adventure activities at Morni. Dive right into the action with TOI images.
