Need to study rising incidents of sudden cardiac arrest among youth: A N Shamseer
Kochi: There is a need to study the rising incidents of sudden cardiac arrest among the youth, said assembly speaker A N Shamseer at a function held at Medical Trust Hospital on Friday.
"Youth between the ages of 20 and 40 are increasingly succumbing to sudden cardiac arrests, often collapsing without prior symptoms. This trend has particularly intensified in the post-Covid era," Shamseer said. "It is crucial to investigate whether this is a consequence of long-term effects of Covid-19 or driven by other factors. A thorough and serious scientific study must be initiated," he added.
Highlighting Kerala's unique public-private healthcare model, he noted that the involvement of private institutions was essential in undertaking such critical research.

Covid-19 cases spike in Manipur, advisories issued
Imphal: A sharp rise in Covid-19 cases is being reported over the past week, raising alarm among health authorities and prompting them to issue fresh advisories for testing, surveillance, and public awareness. The state, which was reporting minimal daily cases for the past several months, has now recorded a significant increase in new infections along with a steep rise in the test positivity rate, indicating the active spread of the virus within communities. According to health department officials, the daily number of confirmed cases surged within a short span, with the test positivity rate climbing to over 14% in some districts. However, the number of hospitalisations remains low, and no new Covid-related fatalities have been reported so far. Health experts attributed the sudden spike to multiple factors, including the relaxation of Covid-appropriate behaviour, a decline in booster dose vaccinations, and the emergence of new variants that are believed to be more transmissible, though relatively mild in symptoms.
