In the last few months, India saw such incidents which were heartbreaking. 42 -year -old actress Shefali Jariwala, 40 -year -old TV star Siddharth Shukla and 46 -year -old South superstar Puneet Rajkumar died of a sudden heart attack. But these incidents were not limited to the film world only.
51 -year -old technology businessman Sanjay Kapoor and 21 -year -old boxer Mohit Sharma also died suddenly due to heart - problems. These accidents shook the people and awareness about the health of the heart started increasing rapidly. People are not just lipid tests but are moving towards advance checkup. Let us know which are these tests.
Earlier people used to go to the hospital only when there was trouble. But now the situation is changing. Now people have already started getting the health of the heart health, so that if there is any danger, then it will be known in time. Where earlier only cholesterol or lipid profile tests were conducted, now people are moving towards advance heart tests such as: coronary calcium scoring, CT angiography HS-CRP, apolipoprotein B and Lipoprotein (A) tests.
According to Agylus Diagnostics, the demand for heart test package has increased by 19% in 2025. At the same time, only a decline of 2% has been seen in the demand for lipid profile test. According to the 5C Network, cardiac scan’s stake in people below 40 years has reached 26%, which was 18% in 2023. Women are also no longer behind. His participation in heart investigation has now reached 37%.
There was a time when heart diseases were considered “disease of the elderly”. But now youths of 20-30 years of age have also started getting heart examined. Dr. Sameer Bhati of Star Imaging says: The share of people of 18–29 years has increased from 5% to 10%. Between 30–39 years it has increased from 15% to 20%. That is, now the thought of heart health has become a need of people of all ages, not only the elderly.
According to Radcliffe Labs, heart diseases are not limited to big cities. 51% people in Tier-1 cities and 48% of people in Tier-2/3 areas were found to be affected by some heart problem. This shows that the danger of the heart is as serious in the villages and towns as in the metro cities.
Now just ECG and Lipid profiles do not talk. People now want to know if plaque is accumulating in the artery? Is there any harm to heart muscles? Is there any hidden danger? Therefore, the demand for tools like high-sensitive markers, CT scan and AI based imaging is increasing.
