Doctor shares shocking reason at US Senate hearing on why heart attacks have become so common in people under 40
Until a few years ago, heart attacks were something many associated with people in their 60s or older. But things are changing, and not for the better. More and more young adults, some as young as their late 20s or early 30s, are now falling victim to heart attacks. Recently, a prominent US-based cardiologist, Dr Peter McCullough, shared disturbing findings that shed light on this alarming trend. At a US Senate hearing held on May 21, 2024, Dr McCullough, alongside other top experts, revealed critical insights into what might be fueling this early onset of heart disease. What followed was a deeply unsettling, evidence-based discussion that called attention to some uncomfortable truths. What the headlines say: 'Lifestyle choices are to blame' It's common to hear that poor lifestyle habits, like junk food, lack of exercise, smoking, and alcohol, are behind the spike in heart attacks among younger individuals. While these certainly play a role, Dr McCullough emphasised that something deeper and more systemic may be at work. There's growing clinical concern that external medical interventions, such as repeated exposure to mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, may also contribute to cardiac stress in certain people, especially young men. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo This doesn't discount lifestyle factors but suggests that the risk picture might be more complex than previously believed. The hidden role of Myocarditis in young hearts Dr McCullough and his peers raised a critical point: a condition called myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, has been underreported and downplayed. While mild cases may resolve, in some individuals, myocarditis may progress silently and cause severe damage, increasing the chances of a sudden cardiac event. A major autopsy-based study presented during the Senate hearing linked 74% of unexpected post-vaccine deaths to complications from myocarditis. These cases weren't always detected during routine clinical checks. What's more chilling is that many of the affected individuals were young and otherwise healthy. Watch for chest discomfort, shortness of breath, sweating, or pain in the jaw, back, or arms. In others, look for signs like clutching the chest or sudden collapse. Women and diabetics may show subtle signs like nausea or fatigue. The overlap between COVID, vaccines, and cardiac stress There's a tendency to attribute sudden deaths or strokes in young people to long COVID, stress, or even gym workouts. However, experts like Dr McCullough argue that the overlap of COVID infection plus repeated vaccine boosters might be causing an immune overreaction in certain individuals. When an mRNA vaccine is followed by a COVID-19 infection, it may amplify inflammatory responses in the body, especially around the heart. This "double-hit" effect can go unnoticed but may increase the risk of cardiac complications, including rhythm disturbances and blood clots. This isn't a call to reject vaccines or ignore medical advice. It's time to focus on both prevention and informed decision-making. That includes monitoring for early symptoms of heart strain (like chest discomfort, palpitations, or shortness of breath), prioritising cardiac check-ups in young adults with unexplained fatigue, and understanding that heart health today requires more than the traditional advice of 'eat better and move more.

Chief Minister launches special DigiLocker technology for registration of nurses
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday launched a special DigiLocker-based technology developed by the Karnataka State Nursing Council for the registration of nurses. The Chief Minister said the new technology facilitates the issuance of registration certificates through Aadhaar-based DigiLocker e-KYC. The system has been developed in collaboration with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the Centre for e-Governance (C-eG), the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), and the Karnataka State Nursing Examination Board. With this technology, the Karnataka State Nursing Council can directly retrieve personal data, address, photo, and other details of nurses from the Aadhaar server through e-KYC. Previously, nursing candidates from various districts had to travel to the council's central office in Bengaluru for registration. The new DigiLocker-Requester technology enables the council to directly fetch Aadhaar cards, SSLC and PU marks cards, and other certificates from respective examination boards. Using technology adopted by RGUHS and the board, examination results will be directly accessed by the council. Subsequently, registration certificates will be issued directly to nurses through DigiLocker-Issuer. Felicitation Sharan Prakash Patil, Minister for Medical Education and Skill Development, Entrepreneurship and Livelihood, felicitated four participants from Karnataka who won medallions of excellence at the WorldSkills Competition held in Lyon, France, a few months ago. The competition saw nine participants from Karnataka. Among them, Prem, Harshavardhan, Bhanu Prasad, and Darshan Gowda won medallions of excellence in three skills — additive manufacturing, cooking, and mechatronics categories. Earlier, 62 participants from Karnataka had competed in the national-level competition held in New Delhi. Karnataka participants won 13 gold, 12 silver, four bronze, and 19 Medals of Excellence at the event, securing the second position overall. They all were felicitated on Tuesday.
