The causes of sudden death among young people have been studied by AIIMS Delhi. The findings of a one-year observational report have been published in an ICMR journal. Speaking to ANI on this, Dr. Sudhir Arava from the Department of Pathology at AIIMS said that these deaths have no connection with the COVID-19 Vaccine.

Dr. Arava said, "The cases of sudden death among young people are caused by heart attacks. When the coronary arteries are blocked, the normal functioning of the heart stops. This is what leads to sudden death. Until now, this had not been documented in India. However, the initial paper based on our observations has documented this."

When asked whether there is any link between sudden deaths among young people and the COVID vaccine, the doctor said, "Before conducting our detailed study, we also kept this possibility in mind. But our observations showed that these sudden deaths have no connection with the COVID vaccine."

He further said, "It is known worldwide that in most cases, elderly people die due to heart attacks. Many studies on this are available. However, we did not have studies on this type of death cases among young people. Western countries have such studies. When we began our observation, we found that heart attacks are also a major cause of death among the young. We have documented this as well in our paper."

Explaining the reasons behind the cases of heart attacks among young people, the doctor said, "There could be several factors, and we need to conduct detailed studies on each of them. Lifestyle could be one reason. But it is clear from our study that no link with the COVID vaccine was found. These days, cases of excessive alcohol consumption among youth are also seen, which could be another reason. We should make modifications to our lifestyle."

"We have also conducted genetic analysis, and when that paper is published, some more aspects will be clear," Dr. Arava added. (ANI)
