There has been several instances of young Indian people suffered heart attacks or cardiac arrests.
At two separate weddings, a bride and a guest suffered heart attacks.
On social media, many have claimed such incidents in India have become more common after the Covid-19 pandemic and questioned if they were linked to the vaccines.
However, doctors have dismissed such claims and said family history and lifestyle factors play a key role in cardiac health.
In 2024, the then-Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said the Indian Council of Medical Research found in a study that Covid vaccines were not responsible for heart attacks.
He said: “If someone has a stroke today, some people think it is because of the Covid vaccine.
“ICMR has done a detailed study on this. (Covid) vaccine is not responsible for heart attacks.
“There are multiple reasons for heart attacks, like our lifestyle, tobacco and excess liquor consumption.
“Sometimes, misinformation goes among the people and a perception is formed for some time. But whatever decision we make, it should be data-based and scientific research-based.”
