À propos de ce contenu audio
Heart disease is rising in young adults — and it’s not just something that happens later in life.
In this episode of Baptist Health Talk, host Johanna Gomez sits down with Dr. Sergiu Darabant, cardiologist with Baptist Health Heart & Vascular Care, to explain why more adults ages 20–40 are experiencing heart-related events and what’s driving the trend.
You’ll learn the early warning signs young adults often overlook, including:
• Chest tightness with activity
• Shortness of breath out of proportion to exercise
• Palpitations and racing heartbeats
Dr. Darabant also breaks down the biggest risk factors impacting young adults today — including stress, poor sleep, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and ultra-processed foods — and explains why prevention starts earlier than most people think.
One of the biggest takeaways: know your numbers and schedule a yearly checkup so you can catch issues early and protect your heart long before symptoms become serious.
