4. • Postpandemic, medical experts have clearly
stated that these days younger generation is
more vulnerable to cardiovascular diseases
than others.
• Medical news statistics show around 50% of
the population in India goes through a heart
attack before age 55. The Indian population
has fallen prey to sudden heart attacks at a
younger age.
5. What is heart failure?

enough oxygen-rich blood to meet your body's
needs.
• Heart failure doesn't mean that heart has
stopped or is about to stop beating. But
without enough blood flow, your organs may
not work well, which can cause serious
problems.

Conditions that can cause heart failure include:
• Arrhythmia (a problem with the rate or rhythm of your

• 17.9 million people are estimated to have died as
a result of heart diseases in 2019 contributing
32% of the global deaths
• a patient dies from heart-related complications
every 36 seconds
• amounting to a total of about 6,59,000 deaths
annually.
There is a subsequent need to develop a system
for cardiovascular disease monitoring, prediction
and diagnosis.
