“Compared to the western world, the incidence of coronary artery diseases is much more in India, and the severity is much higher too. We see a trend of these diseases affecting more of the younger population our country compared to the West. We have observed that about 1/4th of heart attack patients admitted to our hospital are aged below 45,” Dr. Gobu said.
