In severe cases, this can affect heart function, potentially leading to heart failure or even death. According to data from the Department of Health, heart disease is currently the second leading cause of death in Hong Kong, following cancer. Among various types of heart disease, coronary heart disease accounts for a significantly higher number of deaths than other heart conditions, and there has been a trend of increasing incidence among younger individuals.
