A 39-year-old cardiac surgeon who treated heart in Chennai died of a heart attack. He died while on duty in the hospital. Other doctors of the hospital tried hard to save him, but he died on the spot.
This case is from Chennai's Savita Medical College. 39-year-old Dr Gardlin Roy was appointed as a consultant cardiac surgeon. He died of a heart attack on Wednesday.
How did he die?
According to Hyderabad neurologist Dr Sudhir Kumar, every possible effort was made to save Dr Roy. But, he died.
Dr Sudhir Kumar shared a post on social media platform X and wrote-
Doctor Roy was given CPR, stenting with angioplasty, intra-aortic balloon pump, even ECMO. But he could not be saved. The left main artery of his heart was 100 percent blocked, due to which he died immediately.
Why does heart attack happen?
According to Dr Kumar, Dr Roy's death due to heart attack is not the first case. It has become very common among doctors in the age group of 30-40. A major reason behind this is also the working hours. Doctors have to work for 12-18 hours and sometimes up to 24 hours.
Apart from this, stress, unhealthy lifestyle, not doing physical exercise, ignoring health checkup and eating food without time are at risk of heart diseases. This is the reason why people rapidly become victims of depression and anxiety.
