Insha Ghai Kalra has debunked fake news regarding the death of her husband Ankit Kalra. Ankit, an interior designer and social media influencer, died suddenly on August 19. Although she did not reveal the reason for his death, the influencer hinted that it might have been a heart attack.

“Ankit, you left me to be with God and that is so unfair. Our year and a half together was far too short. That morning I had no idea it would be our last. I am still in denial and praying that this is all just a horrible dream and I wake up by your side. Your heart gave up and with it my life ended. We had so many plans and now I am lost without you. This cannot be true. You left me behind and that is a loss I will never get over! Heaven is so lucky to have you,” she wrote.

This led to a lot of speculation about what the cause of death might have been. Insha later issued a clarification on Instagram, refuting the fake news. “To all those making false assumptions. He was a healthy person and had no medical history. It was an unexpected and sudden cardiac arrest in his sleep. So if you cannot support the family during this difficult time, please do not spread too much fake news,” she wrote.

What can cause cardiac arrest in young people?

Although heart attacks are generally considered a geriatric health problem, unfortunately they can also occur in younger people. Doctors describe sudden cardiac death as a fatal outcome of heart disease that occurs within one hour of the onset of symptoms.

According to a Medical news today According to reports, sudden cardiac death in younger individuals can typically be attributed to genetic factors or congenital abnormalities. Although rare, certain acquired heart diseases can also lead to sudden cardiac death.

These diseases change the structure of the heart or disrupt its rhythm, which places additional strain on the heart muscles and impairs blood circulation.

One of the most common causes of sudden cardiac death in young people is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetic heart disease that affects about 1 in 167 people.

In HCM, the muscles of the left ventricle become abnormally thick and enlarged, which can reduce the volume of the left ventricle and affect the function of the aortic valve. These changes can make it harder for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, put strain on the heart and lungs, and affect normal heart rhythm.

Other factors associated with premature heart attacks

• Diabetes or high blood sugar levels. This causes damage to your blood vessels.

• High blood pressure or hypertension. This causes the heart muscles to thicken and increases the risk of a heart attack.

• Smoking addiction and alcohol abuse. People who smoke more than a pack of cigarettes a day are twice as likely to suffer a heart attack as non-smokers.

Problem description

• Rapid heart fluttering, also called palpitations.

• If you or someone close to you experiences any of these symptoms, call an ambulance immediately.
