On the increasing cases of heart attacks among young people, Dr Naresh Trehan, Chairman and Managing Director, Medanta Medicity says, "There are multiple reasons. We know that India is the capital of coronary artery disease. But in addition to that, the modern lifestyle where we have a lot of consumption of food, which is very rich preserved junk food in special, all the beverages have high sodium content and all that, that's also creating problems. Then in addition, the stress of daily existence and the pollution is taking its toll. So all these things put together, we know that people who are living in an environment like Delhi where the AQI is very poor, the incidence of high blood pressure and lung diseases are going up usually and then heart is not behind. So that is why we really need to understand that in this current environment how we cope with the different elements that are producing higher and higher incidences of heart disease and also younger and younger patients collapsing from it. So this is a main concern to us."

00:00 So it's a multiple reason, we know that India is the capital of coronary artery disease, that is where heart attacks occur.
00:08 But in addition to that, the modern lifestyle where we have a lot of consumption of food which is first very rich, preserved, junk food in special,
00:23 all the beverages have high sodium content and all that, that's also creating problems.
00:30 Then in addition, the stress of daily existence and the pollution is taking its toll.
00:38 So all these things put together, we know that people who are living in an environment like Delhi,
00:43 where the AQI is very poor, that the incidence of high blood pressure and lung diseases are going up usually and then heart is not behind.
00:52 So that is why we really need to, one, understand that in this current environment,
00:59 how we cope with the different elements that are producing higher and higher incidence of heart disease
01:06 and also younger and younger patients collapsing from it.
01:09 So this is a main concern to us, we have now developed the algorithm for people like today,
01:17 that we can make with the power of genomic sequencing, with phenomic, that means person's lifestyle,
01:26 and our digital recordings of all the tests that we do, we can actually make a health horoscope,
01:35 or you may say in Hindi, health janampatri. So then those people will be forewarned that they are prone to such and such disease,
01:46 especially heart, diabetes and cancer. So there is a lot of things that we can do to an individual,
01:53 so we call it personalized medicine or predictive medicine.
01:57 That's what we are working on in Medanta very intensely and we are helping many many more people today
02:03 by telling them what their risk factors are, what their chances are and how they need to modify their life
02:08 and how to protect themselves from the stresses and strains of the environment and your personal life.
