Some Singapore doctors are seeing more younger people coming in with heart problems that could lead to more serious conditions later in life. This, as the number of heart attacks continues to rise.

According to a national registry, it now stands at more than 12,000 a year, compared to about 8,000 a decade ago. Sherlyn Seah reports.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year, representing 32% of global deaths. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke.

In Singapore, about 23 people die from cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) every day.

Cardiovascular disease accounted for 30.9% of all deaths in 2023. This means that almost 1 out of 3 deaths in Singapore is due to heart diseases or stroke.

High cholesterol is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) because it contributes to plaque buildup in arteries, leading to atherosclerosis, which can cause heart attacks and strokes. When there is excess cholesterol in the blood, it can deposit in artery walls, forming plaque that narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

How High Cholesterol Leads to CVD:

• Plaque Formation:
  High levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol can deposit in the arteries, forming plaque.
  
  
• Atherosclerosis:
  This plaque buildup is called atherosclerosis, causing arteries to narrow and harden.
  
  
• Reduced Blood Flow:
  The narrowed arteries restrict blood flow to the heart and other organs, leading to conditions like angina (chest pain) and peripheral artery disease.
  
  
• Blood Clots:
  Plaques can rupture, leading to blood clots that can block arteries, causing heart attacks or strokes.

The Role of LDL and HDL Cholesterol:

• LDL Cholesterol:
  High levels of LDL are a major driver of plaque formation and are strongly linked to CVD.
  
  
• HDL Cholesterol:
  HDL, or "good" cholesterol, helps remove cholesterol from the arteries and carry it back to the liver for processing, potentially reducing CVD risk.

Dietary Cholesterol and CVD:

• While some research has focused on the link between dietary cholesterol and CVD, recent studies have shown mixed results, with some finding no significant association between dietary cholesterol or egg intake and CVD.
• However, a study by the American Heart Association found that eating half an egg per day may increase the risk of CVD by 6%.

Other Risk Factors:

• High cholesterol is just one risk factor for CVD. Other factors like smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and lack of physical activity also contribute to CVD risk.

What the mainstream media do is to brainwash the sheeple to believe correlations is the cause, they will never tell you it was the vaccine that is the causation.

Sheeple always fall for phenomenon based science without understanding the root cause

Oh dear, hope I don't be a victim. But then again, it's not a bad way to die, it's quite fast. Chest pain, break out in sweat, difficulty breathing, then die. All within 10mins.

expected lah ... sinkies voted to let themselves, their family and their children to die either heart attack, diabetes and cancer, so live with it.

Work hard using all your energy and life to earn a living and spend on cheap unhealthy food to survive .... these illnesses are freebies from your government for all the supportive voter sinkies.

Stress resulted in HBP,
depression leading to eating more junk foods and
Pigeon hole getting smaller and smaller,

NTUC encourage you to buy everything in big quantity, eg...small quantity purchasing not allow for unhealthy snack, buy more save more slogan.
High sugary beverage is still categorised as "healthy B-grade" item.
Air pollution, squabbles, fightings, Bird poops and Xiao Lang everywhere
Last but not least, people are not sleeping long enough due to noises from construction site...etc.
