Dr Naresh Trehan, CMD, Medanta Hospital, speaking to ANI, explained how to identify if you are at a higher risk of heart disease. He further emphasised getting a heart checkup done in your 20s, saying, "For such people, we say get your first risk factor analysis or preventive checkup before the age of 25.

It can be taken in case of chest pain. You can also take half a tablet of Sorbitrate, sit down or lie down and put it under your tongue. The third thing is to take 20 milligrams of Atorvastatin or an equivalent. These are for people with heart disease...,” said Dr Naresh Trehan.
