Minister of Medical Education Sharan Prakash Patil and Minister of Health Dinesh Gunda Rao said on Tuesday that it is appropriate to perform an annual heart rating so that it does not fail to perform annual heart death assessment to avoid panic over the perceived increase in death from a sudden infarction.
Ministers dealt with a joint press conference said there was no increase, because the average number of cases of heart attack and deaths that have been listed this year were similar last year.
Not to be enforced for panic
After reports on the perceived increase in death from a heart attack in the Hassan district, there was a significant increase in the number of patients visiting specialized hospitals, such as the state -controlled Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences of Sri Jayadev for preventive controls. “It created an unusual situation,” Dr. Patil.

The Minister explained that there was no connection between the Covid-19 vaccine and the sudden deaths of a heart attack in Hassan, and said, “People should not doubt the vaccine. The belief that these cases only occur in Hassan is incorrect.”
Instead of panicking, people should focus on the leadership of a healthy lifestyle, sufficient sleep and exercise regularly. “Only those who have symptoms of heart disease should go for medical control. Do not rush to hospitals for no reason,” Dr. Patil.
Post-covid lifestyle
The Minister further noted that changes in lifestyle after Covid-19 led to an increase in risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension. “Eating habits have changed and the level of stress has increased. We study the reasons for the increase in death among youth,” he said.
