Heart of the matter: When a hospital queue in Mysuru taught us a lesson
It's understandable to head to the hospital when fear kicks in, but panic isn't a plan. Taking care of your heart isn't about one sudden trip to get an ECG. It's an ongoing relationship with your body, especially your instead of reacting in a rush, let's pause and talk about when you should really start paying THERE'S NO 'RIGHT AGE' For years, we've been told that serious heart check-ups are something to consider once you hit your 40s or even as late as your 50s. But the reality on the ground, especially in India, is a different story. "There is no denying the fact that panic is a very poor motivator for good health. Proactive awareness is what we all need," says Dr. Rahul Gupta, a leading interventional cardiologist in New to him, the queue at the Mysuru hospital is a symptom of collective fear, but what we should be building is a culture of routine, age-appropriate screening. "We used to say 40 is the magic number, but I'm seeing significant issues in patients in their early 30s. For South Asians, the clock starts ticking sooner."We asked cardiologists about what a smart timeline should look like? "Think of it less as a single alarm bell and more as a series of gentle reminders," they told us. Dr. M Sudhakar Rao, Consultant – Cardiology, at the Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road, adds that while a regular cardiac test is usually recommended for healthy adults annually (once they have crossed 30 years), in people who have a history of heart ailments there is no real right age to get it done."For such patients, they should start getting their heart check-up done even earlier. The important thing is to listen to what your heart is saying...," Dr Rao says. IN THE 20s: ESTABLISH A BASELINE This isn't the decade for stress tests, but it is the perfect time to know your fundamentals. During a routine physical check-up, be mindful to get your blood pressure is imperative that you are aware of your family cardio history. Does heart disease, high cholesterol, or diabetes run in your family? These are the foundational pieces of your personal health puzzle. You don't need to be anxious, but just be aware, warns Dr Deepak Mehrotra, a cardiac surgeon from THE 30s: NUMBERS START TO MATTER This is the age when doctors believe things start to get a bit more serious."It's a good decade to get your first baseline lipid profile test done. It is a simple blood test that measures your cholesterol levels (the good HDL, the bad LDL, and triglycerides). If the numbers are normal, and you have no other risk factors, you might not need another one for a few years," Dr Rao reminds us, adding that if the numbers are borderline, or if you have a stressful lifestyle, smoke, or are overweight, this is your wake-up call to start making changes 40: THE NON-NEGOTIABLE CHECK-IN advertisementThis is you haven't yet done a thorough heart check-up before, turning 40 is your absolute non-negotiable appointment with a comprehensive heart check-up. This should include:advertisementA detailed lipid profile is a must A blood sugar test (Fasting and HbA1c) every two months is recommendedAn Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check your heart's rhythm and electrical activity is also a must at this age (do it every six months)Have a discussion with your doctor about a treadmill stress test, especially if you have risk factors or there is a history of cardiac unrest in your familyRemember: The tests aren't about finding something that is wrong. It is about creating a detailed snapshot or a cardiac horoscope of your heart health that can be compared against future BEYONDWhile age-based guidelines are a must, your body too gives you its own timeline. Learning to listen (to what your heart is saying) is your greatest should you be paying attention to? Dr Mehrotra has a list ready:"If you observe getting winded after climbing a flight of stairs, it is one thing, but feeling breathless while tying your shoelaces is another. Listen carefully and fix an appointment immediately without panicking," he says. Chest discomfort is another warning sign. "Forget the movie clich of a dramatic, chest-clutching heart attack. It can feel like pressure, squeezing, or even indigestion that doesn't go away easily," Dr Gupta points out. Unexplained, and overwhelming fatigue is a sure-shot sign that something is amiss. We all get tired. But cardiac-related fatigue is different. It's bone-deep exhaustion that doesn't get better with rest. Dr. Gupta offers a brilliant way to frame it. "Your body has a language of its own. Post-work tiredness is a common dialect. However, the profound fatigue that stops you from doing simple daily chores you could easily do last month is an urgent new dialect you must pay attention to. It's time to find the doctor."advertisementThe queue in Jayadeva hospital in Mysuru began with fear, but let's hope it ends in you need to stand in the hospital queue too? No; instead, take a calm, proactive step towards knowing your heart health. Know the history, know your numbers, and know when to pick up the phone and schedule a conversation with your doctor. - Ends

Patna cybercrook dupes Tivim resident of Rs 4L with ice cream biz lure
Panaji: Goa police on Thursday arrested a cyber fraudster from Patna, Bihar, for allegedly cheating a Tivim resident to the tune of Rs 4.2 lakh under the pretext of providing an ice cream parlour franchise. Cybercrime SP Rahul Gupta said that the Tivim resident lodged a complaint stating that from May 2025 to June 6 this year, a man claiming to be Abhishek Sharma impersonated a sales advisor of a popular ice cream chain. Sharma allegedly induced the complainant to deposit a sum of Rs 4.2 lakh towards registration fees, security fees, and software fees for the purported franchise. 'When the complainant deposited the amount, the accused, intending to deceive the complainant, sent fake registration certificates in the name of the ice cream chain and started demanding more money from the complainant,' Gupta said. 'He failed to grant the franchise, thereby cheating the complainant.' A team of the Colvale police station collected information from the bank and the mobile service providers of the accused. Technical surveillance was deployed as well. The bank account holder was identified to be from Patna, Gupta said. 'Alok Kumar, 19, was arrested at the Paliganj police station in Bihar,' Gupta said. 'The accused was then produced before the judicial magistrate first class, Bicholim, and remanded in five days of police custody. The fraud amount has been kept on hold by the bank upon the request of the cyber cell.' Gupta said that the fraudster is involved in five cases across the country, with the fraud amount totalling Rs 22.2 lakh.

Goa Sees 22% Drop in High-Value Cybercrimes Amid Increased Awareness Campaigns
Panaji: There was a 22% decline in high value cybercrimes — more than Rs 10 lakh — in the first six months of the year. Goa police said that there is a 45% increase in the lien amount of total financial frauds reported in the same period. The lien amount refers to the funds that police were able t o block by freezing the bank accounts of fraudsters. SP (cyber crime) Rahul Gupta said that the most prominent high-value frauds are digital arrest, investment frauds, and task-based frauds. He said that there was a 12% decrease in the number of cybercrime complaints. Gupta said that awareness is the biggest antidote. 'We are trying to raise awareness through our campaign 'Cyber Surakshit Goem' through various means. But people themselves should also be curious about this subject. They should read from authentic online sources and discuss among themselves,' he said. The SP said that all police stations have a network of Cyber Yoddhas. 'If any responsible citizen wants a cyber awareness programme to be conducted in any part of Goa, they can approach the local police station,' he said. Police reported that cyber fraudsters target Goa's unemployed youth by offering them online task-based jobs (such as writing reviews), and then, when they're paid for it, they lose the same money to the fraudsters after they gain their trust. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mucus in Lungs? Do This if You Feel Breathlessness Neuracare Learn More Undo Gupta said that initially, the criminals pay up to Rs 20,000 for the completion of a task. 'Once the cyber fraudsters gain the trust of the youth, they lure them to invest in IPOs related to their companies and promise huge returns. The online job scam then turns into an investment scam. Once the victim invests and decides to withdraw, they direct victims to pay different types of fees, resulting in cheating,' police said. TOI reported that an investigation into cybercrimes shows that fraudsters target youth to ostensibly hire their bank accounts and SIM cards, using gaming apps as an inducement, and then deploy the personal information for criminal activities. Cyber fraudsters approach youth through social media and other platforms and persuade them to rent out their bank accounts and SIM cards to earn additional pocket money.
