"I'm 45, feel completely fine, no symptoms. What should I actually do?"
Baseline assessment:
- Know your blood pressure (check it, don't guess)
- Know your lipids (LDL, HDL, triglycerides, ask for ApoB if available)
- Know your fasting glucose and HbA1c
- Know your family history in detail
If everything is optimal and family history is clean, you're doing the basics (exercise, reasonable diet, not smoking), your risk is low. Continue.
If there's family history of early heart disease, or your LDL is elevated, or multiple borderline risk factors are clustering, consider a coronary calcium scan.
CAC at 45 tells you whether plaque has started. If it's zero, your prognosis for the next 10 years is excellent. If it's elevated, you know you need to act now rather than waiting for symptoms.
Symptoms are late. By the time you feel something, disease has been building for decades.
The people who do best aren't the ones who wait for chest pain. They're the ones who looked early, found what was brewing, and treated it before it became a crisis.
Feeling fine is not a cardiac assessment. Data is.
Residents of Rayasandra and Gattahalli, including citizens from 15 apartment complexes, protested today demanding basic necessities like proper roads, sanitation, water supply, and street lights.
This video shows sewage water flowing from apartments and layouts onto the roads, creating a dangerous situation for pedestrians and two-wheeler users.
Around 20 schools in the area use this road daily, forcing residents, including children, pregnant women, and seniors, to endure these conditions.
Rayasandra is one of Bengaluru's most neglected areas. Despite paying taxes, people here suffer daily. Please help highlight their plight. #Bengaluru #Rayasandra @osd_cmkarnataka@CMofKarnataka@DKShivakumar@siddaramaiah
Shah Rukh Khan warmly greeted Suresh Raina, Parthiv Patel and Aakash Chopra and said sorry because he couldn't see them earlier. How can you not love him 🥹💜

This is Electronic City, India's first Special Economic Zone for Information Technology, the heart of Silicon Valley! In the absence of a local body, the onus lies on the local MLA, but he is in a forever honeymoon period!#BrandBengaluru@osd_cmkarnataka

Today at 10:20 am, just 200m from where the #explosive was stashed! This is how builders clear garbage, supported by the Panchayath, to make agricultural land construction-ready! The sweltering heat of early summer and water scarcity now add fire to make it worse! #Fire#Garbage #BrandBengaluru
This is Gattahalli Road in Bengaluru, an important arterial road that connects Electronic City with Doddakannelli and Kadubisanhalli. It's marked as an RMP road, which will be a crucial arterial road for the upcoming PRR Road. Unfortunately, this road has not been maintained for the past six years, as it falls under the village Panchayat's jurisdiction. Unlike BBMP roads, these roads are often neglected. Roads like these damage Bengaluru's reputation and make it IT Slum. @siddaramaiah@DKShivakumar, the people of Anekal have shown their trust in @INCKarnataka MLA @MLAShivanna@DKSureshINC for the third time. Please provide help! 🙏🥲#BrandBengaluru
@BlrCityPolice@CPBlr,
Today, at 6:40 PM, a resident near Primus School, Doddakanahalli - Chikkanayakanahalli Road, 3 km from Sarjapur, reported an attempted robbery. The robbers attempted to stop a car while holding stones. However, upon noticing the dashcam, they left the family inside the car untouched. Please swiftly apprehend the culprits and intensify police patrolling in the Bellandur police station jurisdiction. @DKShivakumar Sir, there's a pressing issue of non-functional streetlights on these internal roads. #Bengaluru #Robbery #Safety
Looks like the Anekal MLA forgot the area after winning election. Performing Pooja couple of times and digging the entire road in the pretext of relaying just before elections - just to keep people guessing before elections for this small section of Rayasandra Main Road.
The heart of Trillion dollar economy with the most intellectually important population living in the inhumane conditions! The IT hub of India, that is Bharat is drowning in its own faeces(shit). IT folks will have to wade through such life threatening challenges to make us proud!
#Netaji Subhas believed in snatching independence not pleading for it! We never got freedom. Power was transferred from Britishers to brown Britishers! Loot, corruption, misgovernance became our destiny. This is the state of road under 3 times MLA Shivana, MP @DKSureshINC#Anekal
