On Friday morning, 46-year-old Tv actor Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi died while working out in a gym at Andheri in suburban Mumbai. The cause for his sudden death was said to be a heart attack.
According to cardiac and diabetes specialist Dr Pranav Kabra of the Raksha Multispecialty Hospital at Malad in suburban Mumbai, sudden aggressive exercise can lead to a heart attack. The body needs to warm up. People simply go on the treadmill and start running or go to the gym equipment and start with dead weights. Such sudden heavy exercise can definitely trigger a heart attack, Dr Kabra said.
Dr Pranav Kabra says, a blockage of the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart due to acute and sudden clot formation and underlying cholesterol plaque is possible even at early age. It is also possible that the cholesterol plaque does not necessarily narrow the artery severely, but only 20-30 or 40 percent. But it can rupture due to extreme stress or unusual exercise without warm up, causing a building up of high blood pressure. Thus, the sudden rupturing of plaque will lead to clot formation in the blood vessels leading to a heart attack, said Dr Kabra, explaining how 40- to 50-year-olds are dying in gyms due to sudden aggressive exercise without warm up.
Before working out in a gym, one must do basic stretching and toning exercises and only after about 20 minutes of warm up, must one run on the treadmill or do weights. The human body needs to slowly adjust to increased heartbeat and blood pressure. A sudden increase in blood pressure can cause rupturing of plaque, leading to clot formation in the blood vessels causing a heart attack, Dr Kabra explains.
Smoking, lack of sleep, excessive consumption of caffeine-based energy drinks coupled with comorbidities like cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes are sure-fire causes for a heart attack even in the younger generation says Dr Kabra.
