Silent heart risk in under 30s
A recent international study found that over half of healthy adults show signs of silent atherosclerosis, or artery plaque, with prevalence increasing with age. Notably, 1 in 13 adults aged 18 to 29 already had some buildup despite no known cardiovascular disease, and men tend to develop plaque earlier than women. The findings suggest that early detection of artery plaque could improve heart disease prevention, emphasizing the importance of heart health awareness before symptoms appear.
