Too Young For This

Every 33 seconds, an Indian dies of heart disease.Most of them had warnings. They just didn't recognise them.
Indians develop heart disease 10-15 years earlier than
any other major ethnic group in the world. This isn't
bad luck. It is a predictable consequence of genetics,
diet, lifestyle, and a healthcare system that was not
built to catch it in time.
Too Young For This is the book a cardiac surgery resident
wrote because the gap between what doctors know and what
the public knows is costing lives every single day.
In plain language - no jargon, no fear - this book covers:
• Why Indian bodies carry unique cardiac risk that
standard checkups routinely miss
• The blood tests your doctor probably isn't ordering
- and why they matter
• What a heart attack actually looks like in a young
Indian man or woman (it is nothing like the films)
• A tiered, evidence-ranked prevention plan you can
start this week
• Exactly what to do in the first five minutes of a
cardiac emergency
Written for anyone who has ever been told they are
"too young to worry about their heart" - and for every
family that would like to keep it that way.
