According to Director of the Vietnam National Heart Institute Do Doan Loi, the situation is attributable to objective reasons like physical inactivity, drinking alcohol and smoking, and subjective ones including stress and pressure of living.
The institute has examined and treated a great number of patients between 25-40 years old in recent years, including many acute myocardial infarction cases under 40 years old.
