"No man is aware of his death" Yes, a cricket match was happening in Jalna, Maharashtra. A 30-year-old batting player hit a six and people got up from their seats to clap. But suddenly the player fell to the ground. He had severe pain in his chest. His teammates who were playing the match tried to save him by giving him CPR but he died. This is not the first such case. Such cases come to light every day. After witnessing this it seems that there is no guarantee of life. These days cases of heart attack have become so common that sometimes it is a cricket ground, sometimes a school and sometimes Kumbh Mela, people are losing their lives in seconds.
Cases of heart attack and cardiac arrest are seen more frequently in winter. Apart from cold, bad lifestyle, wrong habits and bad eating habits have weakened the heart of people and people are not even aware of this. Especially the youth do not pay any attention to their heart health. According to the Indian Heart Association, 50% of the total cases of heart attack are of people below 50 years of age and 25% of the people are below 40 years of age.
Difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest
Many people do not even know what is the difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest. To understand in simple words, when blood circulation is disturbed, blood is not able to reach the heart due to a clot in the veins, and then a heart attack occurs. Sudden cardiac arrest is caused due to irregular heartbeat and it can lead to death within 8 minutes. But when the heart is strong, you will be able to avoid both heart attack and cardiac arrest. Know from Swami Ramdev how to make the heart strong.
