South Asia is one of the places where heart attack is at " home" . People who where born here are more at risk of having a heart attack. The risk is furthermore increased by diabetes and by smoking at a very fragile age. It is true that this part of the world accounts for almost a quarter of the population, but when compared with other regions of the world, this has the highest numbers of deaths from heart attack. Furthermore, it is also the leading region of cardiovascular problems, that eventually lead to heart attack. Deaths linked to heart attack happen five to ten years earlier in this part of the world than in other countries. All this information has made many people wonder what is the cause of heart attack in this region. Clearly, the traditional factors of risk of a heart attack do not apply here, because the number of deaths is higher than in all other regions. So, studies have been made to see what actually makes those people be more at risk of having a heart attack, but not many things have been



revealed.

All those studies have shown that age of a heart attack is much lower in South Asia then in all other regions. Furthermore, people that live here do not drink more alcohol or eat more fatty foods than people living in other regions. So then why are they more exposed to heart attack? Well, an answer may be history itself. In South Asia, there are many people that have diabetes history in their family or hypertension or some other conditions that lead to a heart attack.

So could this be the answer? Unfortunately, no one knows for sure why these people are more at risk of having a heart attack, but since the only thing that was different from all the other people, was the history of risk factors, then this could be the reason. More and more studies have been made and there are a lot of people that will not end until they uncover this mistery. However, what is known for a fact is that in this region, young people are more at risk of having a heart attack than older ones.
