Heart Attack In Gym Goers

Heart attacks are not limited to any gender, age or group of people with certain lifestyle choices. Yes, it is true that those who follows healthy routine are at lower risk of suffering a heart attack compared to those who doesn’t – but this doesn’t change the fact that heart attack can strike anyone, anytime.

In recent years we have seen a sudden spike in heart attack cases in fit people. The reason doesn’t lie in just one factor, but there are tons of reasons that contributes to this.

Speaking to The HealthSite.com Dr Namrita Banerjee, Cardiologist, said that fit individuals can suffer heart attacks mainly due to undiagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD). This dangerous health condition refers to the unusual buildup of plaque (mostly consisting of cholesterol and bad fat in the body) this restricts the usual blood flow to the heart – eventually leading to a permanent collapse.

But why fit people? “Intense exercise can also trigger electrical disturbances in the heart or cause sudden plaque rupture, while genetic factors, other underlying conditions like diabetes, and lifestyle factors such as stress, smoking, or poor sleep also increase risk.”
