Earlier, mostly people aged 40 years or above used to come to the hospital due to heart diseases, but now young people aged 25-30 years are also arriving at the hospital. This situation is arising due to the problem of blood clots or thickening of blood after COVID-19, due to which cases of heart disease have increased even among the youth.
