Even a fit and active lifestyle is not a complete shield against heart disease. Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly suffered a heart attack and underwent stenting, proving that cardiac problems can affect anyone—even a professional sportsperson. His case highlights the impact of hidden risk factors such as genetics, stress, and lifestyle-related issues that often go unnoticed. Today, heart disease is affecting people at a much younger age, including those who appear healthy. This makes heart disease prevention initiatives focused on awareness, early screening, and timely intervention more important than ever.
