New Delhi [India], June 30: We all love the monsoon. We eagerly wait for it as it brings much-needed relief from the scorching summer heat with rain and a cool breeze.

New Delhi [India], May 11: Every week in India, heart disease claims more than 59,000 lives. That is 350 people every hour dying in the country, accounting for 32% of all fatalities in 2023 alone, according to the Global Burden of Disease study. These are not numbers that should surprise us anymore. And yet, the stories behind them still do. A founder in his late 40s. A CFO who just passed his annual check-up. A senior executive whose cholesterol was “well within range.” We keep describing these events as sudden. They are not. What they are, almost without exception, is undetected.
