A 53-year-old neurosurgeon from Nagpur, India, Dr. Chandrashekhar Pakhmode, died suddenly of a severe heart attack early Wednesday at his home. He was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead by attending doctors. Colleagues and family said he was physically fit, exercised regularly, and had recently undergone medical tests showing normal blood pressure, sugar, and ECG results. His unexpected death has shocked the medical community and raised new concerns about hidden cardiac risks.

Cardiology experts explained that ECG tests mainly assess the heart’s electrical activity but may not detect silent risks such as arterial plaque or blockages. They noted that chronic stress, irregular sleep, and heavy workloads can significantly increase the risk of sudden cardiac events, especially among professionals in high-pressure fields like medicine.

Specialists advised that individuals should not rely solely on normal test results but undergo comprehensive cardiac screening based on age and risk factors. Regular medical consultation, stress management, and advanced diagnostic tests may be essential for true heart health protection.
