He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but was declared brought dead there, a police officer said. He said that the cause of Nikam’s death is yet to be ascertained and his body has been sent to a government hospital for postmortem. After the case, once again doubts have arisen among those doing workouts in the gym as to why the series of such deaths has suddenly increased. Let us tell you that famous comedian Raju Srivastava also died while exercising in the gym. Earlier, TV actor Siddhant Vir Surryavanshi also died after a heart attack while exercising in the gym.
What is the reason for a heart attack?
A heart attack occurs when there is a sudden blockage in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. According to the Indian Express report, the expert said, ’70 percent or more blockage in the coronary artery causes chest pain because the available blood supply cannot meet the high demand for oxygen during exercise. However, a heart attack can also occur when the soft plaques that form in the coronary artery burst and form a large clot.
What is the reason for death due to a heart attack during the workout?
There are more cases of sudden heart attacks during workouts when the blockage is not known. In some cases, this is known in advance. The expert said that vigorous workouts can break plaques or cause ‘electrical disturbance’ in the heart, which leads to cardiac arrest.
