Doctors Alarmed as Heart Attack Deaths Skyrocket: What’s Behind the Surge in Sudden Fatalities?

Doctors are sounding the alarm over a disturbing trend: a sharp rise in unexplained heart attack deaths in the U.S., particularly at home. A recent study by Mass General Brigham reveals that cardiac deaths have increased by up to 17% since the pandemic, with many deaths occurring outside hospitals. Factors like the long-term effects of COVID-19, lifestyle choices, and delayed medical care during the pandemic are contributing to this worrying spike. Experts are calling for urgent attention to these rising numbers, especially among younger populations who are also seeing higher rates of heart attacks.
