Despite having such a huge blockage, how did she withstand such a huge attack? Answers to some similar questions Sushmita’s cardiologist Dr. Rajeev Bhagwat told in an interview to TOI. Let us know what he has said and what lesson you should take from this incident.
Cases of heart attack are increasing rapidly in women too.
The doctor told that the cases of heart attack are now increasing rapidly not only in men but also in women. Today’s women are facing more challenges and responsibilities than in the past. She is managing work both in office and at home. There has been a change in their eating habits. This has increased their stress.
Risk Factors of Heart Attack

physical activity is important
The doctor explained that leading an active lifestyle can reduce the risk of heart attack, as well as reduce stress and depression. In Sushmita’s case, she had the advantage of being involved in physical activity, which caused her to suffer less. How important it is to be physically active, everyone should learn this lesson from Sushmita.
Exercise is necessary 3 to 4 days a week
The doctor told that it is important to keep in mind that you should not exercise daily, but do it only 3 to 4 days a week. You must give your body time to recover from the stress of exercise. Exercising continuously without rest and adequate sleep can lead to imbalance of hormone levels and this is a big risk.
7 to 8 hours of sleep is necessary
The doctor told that many people sleep at two in the night and go to the gym or jogging at six in the morning. Many youths are doing this. There have been many such cases that they went to gym and died, they went for jogging and died. 7 to 8 hours of sleep is necessary before going to the gym. Just 2 or 3 hours of sleep is not enough. Gymming is not a fashion, it should be a healthy activity. Doing too much gym can be fatal for your health.
It is important to go to the right hospital at the right time
The doctor told that if someone has a heart attack, one should go to a hospital which has good facilities for angiography and angioplasty. Did Sushmita ignore any warnings or signs? On this the doctor told that it is difficult to say, but can say that Sushmita is lucky, she came at the right time and right place.
Take care of weight, blood sugar and cholesterol level
The doctor told that to reduce the risk of heart attack, you should control your weight. He said that many people in India do not know that they are diabetic, they do not know that their cholesterol level is higher than normal. Diagnosis has improved but you should focus more on awareness, not just diagnosis.
