AIIMS Report Reveals Shocking Truth Behind Sudden Youth Deaths: Silent Heart Disease a Major Killer

• AIIMS Delhi study analyzed 2,214 post-mortem reports, identifying 180 sudden deaths from May 2023 to April 2024.
• 57.2% of sudden death victims were young people aged 18-45, appearing fit and healthy.
• Heart disease, primarily silent coronary artery blockages (over 70% in LAD artery), caused 42.6% of these deaths.
• Other causes include respiratory issues (21.3%), inherited arrhythmias, and gynecological problems like ectopic pregnancy in women.
• The study explicitly states no link between these deaths and COVID-19 or COVID vaccines; pre-existing, undiagnosed conditions are blamed.

Why It Matters: Silent heart disease and undiagnosed conditions are major causes of sudden deaths in seemingly healthy youth.
