The Silent Heart Attack, Often Missed But Deadly
By-Dr. Deepankar Vatsa, Consultant – Cardiology, Yatharth Hospital, Greater Noida
Heart attacks have long been associated with dramatic chest pain and older age. But in recent years, a silent and deeply concerning trend has emerged as young adults in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s are increasingly falling victim to heart attacks, and in many cases, without any warning signs at all. These are called silent heart attacks, and they can be just as dangerous, if not more than the typical ones.
What Is a Silent Heart Attack?
A silent heart attack, or silent myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart is blocked, but the person feels little to no symptoms. Unlike the stereotypical image of someone clutching their chest in pain, silent heart attacks may be presented as mild discomfort, fatigue, indigestion, or breathlessness. Often, these symptoms are brushed off as minor acidity, overexertion, or stress leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment.
Why the Young Are Increasingly at Risk
In India, nearly 25% of heart attacks are now seen in individuals under the age of 40, a startling figure. This shift is not just due to genetic predisposition but heavily influenced by lifestyle choices. Long hours at desks, poor diet, smoking, binge drinking, lack of sleep, and mounting mental stress are all playing a part.
Many young professionals, especially in urban centers, skip routine health check-ups and assume heart disease is decades away. Unfortunately, this assumption can be fatal. Silent heart attacks may quietly damage the heart muscle, and by the time they are discovered incidentally during a routine ECG or medical emergency the damage is already done.
The Subtle Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
Though the signs may not be dramatic, the body does give hints. Persistent fatigue, shortness of breath after mild activity, dizziness, cold sweats, mild chest pressure, or pain in the jaw, back, or left arm even if brief can be warning signs. These are often misinterpreted as acidity, anxiety, or muscle strain, particularly in younger people. This underestimation delays life-saving treatment.
Prevention Is Still the Best Medicine
The good news is that heart disease, including silent heart attacks, is largely preventable with early lifestyle changes. Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol, managing stress, and eating a heart-friendly diet can significantly reduce the risk.
It’s equally important to get regular screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and other cardiac risk factors especially if there is a family history of heart disease. In some cases, a stress test or an echocardiogram may be recommended by your doctor to assess how well the heart is functioning under exertion.
When Every Second Counts
If a heart attack, silent or otherwise is suspected, time is critical. Advances in cardiology such as angioplasty, stenting, and modern imaging techniques like Intravascular Ultrasound and Optical Coherence Tomography have greatly improved outcomes. However, these tools are only effective when the problem is recognized in time.
Rapid transportation to a hospital with a cardiac care unit and initiation of early treatment can be the difference between life and death. That’s why awareness, even in asymptomatic individuals, is so crucial.

Elevating early learning in India, Sanfort Global takes IB preschool education to new heights
New Delhi, 9th June 2025: Sanfort Group of Schools (Sanfort) is leading a new shift in India’s preschool education by spearheading the future trend of International Baccalaureate (IB) preschool learning in the country. Recognising the growing role and relevance of IB’s inquiry-based philosophy in shaping future citizens, Sanfort’s arm, Sanfort Global, is expanding its focus on globally connected, child-centric IB learning.
Sanfort is at the forefront of integrating globally accepted IB learning paradigms at the preschool level — a sector previously ignored by global curricula. It has already established India’s first IB preschool chain. Sanfort has not only embraced IB but it’s also integrating it with its own ‘Core Value Circle’ model.
Continuously breaking new ground in the implementation of IB at the preschool level, Sanfort is nurturing children emotionally, intellectually, socially, and physically. Under the visionary leadership of Ms. Sneha Rathor Khandelwal, CEO of Sanfort Group of Schools, the organisation is redefining IB preschool education as a future-ready learning environment designed for India’s youngest learners.
“IB is not a trend — it’s a transformational learning philosophy that teaches children how to think, not what to think. At Sanfort, we are committed to making inquiry-based education accessible from the very first years, helping children build curiosity, confidence, and compassion alongside academic readiness. This is how future leaders are shaped, and we are proud to drive this change,” said Ms. Sneha Rathor Khandelwal.
Sanfort is currently focused on deepening the reach of IB education through its growing network of schools. The group’s learner-centred curriculum fosters inquiry, independence, and critical thinking, preparing children for a globally connected world.
Dr. S.K. Rathor, Founder & Chairman, Sanfort Group of Schools said, “Bringing IB into the preschool space has been a bold step. As educational priorities in India continue to evolve, it’s clear that inquiry-driven, globally aligned early learning is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. Our vision is to shape confident, independent thinkers and socially aware global citizens right from their foundational years.”
With three countries and more than 250 schools, 90+ superior awards, and an established reputation for innovation in preschools — including being the first to deploy Touch ‘n’ Learn technology and AR-based curricula in India — Sanfort continues to raise standards in progressive early childhood education.
Looking ahead, Sanfort is going all out to take the IB framework to additional centres, making globally aligned, inquiry-based learning a norm, rather than a privilege, for Indian young learners.
