Heart attacks among young people in the UK have more than doubled in the last few years, leaving scientists and doctors baffled as to the cause.
Cases in young age groups have doubled over the last few years, with rates in under-40s as a whole rising by a quarter.

The analysis was conducted by the Daily Mail, following the death of 29-year-old mother Lauren Page Smith, who was discovered lying on her bathroom floor with her two-year-old daughter clinging to her chest just hours after paramedics had given her the all-clear.
Dailymail.co.uk reports: Experts say the rise, which has become increasingly obvious in the wake of Covid, is down to a multitude of factors, including soaring obesity rates in the young. Over half of under 35s are now overweight or obese.
Being too fat is a major contributor to heart attacks, as critical arteries get clogged over time.
Top cardiologists have said fears that Covid vaccines may have fuelled the increase are way off the mark.
Heart attack admissions were broadly increasing across most adult age groups, including the young, before the pandemic took off.
A blip in people not getting care or coming forward during Covid sparked an NHS campaign for the public to be aware of the potential symptoms they might ignore.
These include signs like a squeezing feeling across the chest, sweating and a general feeling of unease.
Covid vaccines, like the mRNA versions made by the likes of Pfizer and Moderna can, rarely, trigger a heart complication called myocarditis.
This can weaken the heart muscle causing clots to form that can, in theory, trigger a heart attack.
But the overwhelming majority of vaccine-induced myocarditis cases are mild, real world evidence shows.
Many resolve on their own, and the under 40s haven’t been routinely invited for jabs since 2021 during the Omicron wave.
Cardiologists have repeatedly insisted that the vaccine has not led to a spike in cardiovascular health problems.
Professor Nick Linker, cardiologist and NHS England’s national clinical director for heart disease, said a multitude of reasons were behind a rise of heart attack admissions in young people.
‘Thanks to medical advances, most people who experience a heart attack and receive prompt NHS treatment will survive.
‘Despite this, due to a range of lifestyle factors including obesity, smoking, vaping, and alcohol consumption, we are seeing a global picture of people who are developing cardiovascular disease at younger age which is putting them at risk of potentially life-threatening or debilitating conditions such as a heart attack or stroke.’
Charities like the British Heart Foundation (BHF) have said that Covid vaccines are not believed to a major contributor to cardiovascular health trends.
‘Most people who have been affected have experienced a mild illness and recovered without medical treatment,’ its website reads.
It has also highlighted that people are at greater risk of developing myocarditis from a Covid infection than as a side effect of the jab.
MailOnline analysis of NHS data shows heart attack patients from Lauren’s demographic, 25-29, are at the highest level recorded in a decade.
Figures for such emergencies have almost doubled from just 97 in 2013/14 to 189 in this year’s data.
Jumps in admissions have also been seen in other under-40 age groups.
Rises of a about a quarter have been seen among 20-24 year olds, 30-34 year olds and 35-39 year olds, data shows.
It should be noted that the number of young people suffering heart attacks is small so even minor increases in the numbers can result in large percentage jumps.
The vast majority of heart attacks occur in older adults, with the average of a heart attack victim in England being 69.
