Cardiologist warns a silent fatal threat is quietly replacing heart attacks, but early detection can stop it before it strikes

US cardiologist Dr Dmitry Yaranov warns that while heart attack deaths have dropped nearly 90 percent since the 1970s, a more silent threat is rising. He says chronic conditions such as heart failure and rhythm disorders are increasing due to long term issues like high blood pressure, sleep apnea and inflammation. These problems progress quietly, making early detection crucial. Yaranov urges people to pay attention to subtle symptoms and prioritise regular heart evaluations.
