This article provides an in-depth analysis of the problems of early detection of cardiovascular diseases among young people. In recent years, an increase in heart-related diseases has been observed worldwide, including among young people in Uzbekistan. According to statistics, arterial hypertension, arrhythmias, cardiac dystrophies, dyslipidemia, and the initial stages of atherosclerosis are becoming increasingly common among the population aged 15–35. A distinctive feature of these diseases is that they often proceed latently and are detected only when severe complications occur.
Also, among young people, non-adherence to a healthy lifestyle, an abundance of stress factors, malnutrition, inactivity, smoking, and the use of energy drinks have a negative impact on the cardiovascular system. This makes it difficult to detect diseases at an early stage. Lack of regular medical examinations, insufficient screening programs, low medical culture, and disregard for family history also limit the possibilities of early diagnosis.
The article discusses the existing problems in a scientifically and theoretically grounded manner and makes proposals for the introduction of early screening programs in maintaining the health of young people, strengthening cardiological monitoring in educational institutions, forming a healthy lifestyle, and increasing the effectiveness of preventive measures. The results of the study show that this issue is relevant from a social, medical, and pedagogical perspective.
Relevance of the topic: Today, cardiovascular diseases are becoming more common not only among middle-aged and elderly people, but also among young people aged 15–35. Stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and increased consumption of energy drinks contribute to the early development of these diseases. The most dangerous thing is that these diseases are hidden in most people, so early detection is often impossible. As a result, the number of serious conditions such as sudden cardiac arrest, stroke, and arrhythmias is increasing among young people.
Purpose of the topic: The main purpose of the article is to identify problems that prevent the early detection of cardiovascular diseases among young people, to shed light on their pathogenic factors, to propose effective diagnostic methods, and to show scientifically based methods of preventive measures.
