An autopsy showed that Croatian third division football player Bruno Boban died of a heart attack on Saturday after he was struck by the ball in the chest from close range, Croatian media reported on Monday.
The 25-year old Marsonija winger collapsed in the 15th minute of their match against his former club Slavonija and was pronounced dead after both teams` coaching staff and paramedics had frantically tried to resuscitate him for 40 minutes.
The Index news website (www.index.hr), which reported the cause of death as a heart attack, said Boban`s funeral was scheduled for later on Monday.&nbsp

At the time of his death, Boban was the top scorer in the third division`s section east with 12 goals and Marsonija were fifth in the standings with 30 points from 17 games.
Boban had played for Slavonija from 2014 to 2016 before joining his brother Gabrijel at then top-tier side NK Zagreb. He moved to Marsonija earlier this year.
Several high-profile Croatian internationals extended their condolences to the Boban family on social media, with striker Mario Mandzukic saying: "Rest in peace Bruno and my deepest condolences to the Boban family as well as to all his friends and team-mates."
It was the first high-profile soccer death in Croatia since Zadar forward Hrvoje Custic struck a concrete wall with his head during a first division match with Cibalija Vinkovci in April 2008. The 24-year old died of brain injuries five days later.

Bollywood&#39;s first female superstar&nbsp;Sridevi died of a cardiac arrest late Saturday night.&nbsp;

Her death has left the nation in shock, with people asking how a person who looked healthy could have died without any warning.

What is a sudden cardiac arrest?

The heart abruptly stops functioning during a sudden cardiac arrest. There are no prior symptoms.

When&nbsp;the heart stops, the brain and other vital organs stop receiving oxygen. If not treated, death can ensue in minutes.

Symptoms: The sypmtoms of a cardiac arrest include a person suddenly&nbsp;collapsing, the loss of consciousness, the absence of a pulse, and a person not breathing.

Risk Factors:&nbsp;

&bull;Previous heart attack - 75% of SCA cases are linked to a previous heart attack 
&bull;Coronary artery disease 
&bull;Family history &ndash; genetic reasons put even younger populations at risk 
&bull;Cardiomyopathy 
&bull;Cardiac failure

What is a heart attack?

A heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the heart, causing blockage of an artery. Again, without blood flow, the body&#39;s vital organs are starved of oxygen, which can lead to death.

A heart attack is easier to spot because it comes with prior symptoms, like tightness of the chest or chest pain, a sharp ache in the left arm, fatigue, lightheadedness and an abnormal heartbeat.

Symptoms: The symptoms of a heart attack aren&#39;t always obvious but they include discomfort in the left side of the chest/upper abdomen, shortness of breath from any from any form of exertion, a cold sweat, and vomiting/nausea.

Risk Factors:&nbsp;

&bull;Age&nbsp; 
&bull;High blood pressure (hypertension) 
&bull;Smoking 
&bull;High serum cholesterol 
&bull;Family history of coronary disease 
&bull;Diabetes 
&bull;Stress and obesity

Cardiac arrest vs heart attack: How are they different?

A cardiac arrest is sudden, unexpected and occurs when your heart stops pumping blood to your body. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked.

Sridevi: Understanding the difference between sudden cardiac arrest and heart attack

May 28 is <a href="http://www.may28.org/">recognised</a>&nbsp;worldwide as the International Day of Action for Women&#39;s Health. The day is meant to draw&nbsp;attention to issues surrounding the <a href="https://www.oxfamindia.org/blog/974/should-we-only-give-attention-women%E2%80%99s-health-international-day-action%3F">reproductive and sexual health</a> of women.&nbsp;But we will use this opportunity to talk about the health of Indian women in a broader sense.

To do this, we will look at the diseases Indian women die from,&nbsp;the ones government interventions in public health should be most focused on. The most recent data available on the causes of death is in <a href="http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011-Documents/mccd_Report1/mccd_report_2014.pdf">a report</a> for the year&nbsp;2014, the Report on medical certification of cause of death from the Indian government. This is based on&nbsp;data that has been collected from the forms doctors fill up after a patient dies.

The report has data on the causes of death for 3,99,535 women in 2014. There were deaths registered for which no cause-of-death data was available but despite that this report should still give us a good idea of the &#39;disease burden&#39; faced by women in India.

To understand how this disease burden changes as women grow older, let&#39;s divide the women who died into five age groups: 0-14, 15-34, 35-54, 55-69 and those over 70.

Girls aged 0-14

This is an age at which girls are at their most vulnerable.&nbsp;52% of the deaths in this age group were caused by perinatal conditions. These are conditions that emerge before, during and immediately after birth and include fetal malnutrition and birth trauma.

Women aged 15-34

For this age group, it isn&#39;t diseases that are the major killer but external factors such as injuries, poisonings, assaults, accidents and drownings. They together accounted for one in five deaths for women aged 15-34.

<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="252" id="datawrapper-chart-Si0dp" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" msallowfullscreen="msallowfullscreen" oallowfullscreen="oallowfullscreen" scrolling="no" src="//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Si0dp/1/" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="100%"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">if("undefined"==typeof window.datawrapper)window.datawrapper={};window.datawrapper["Si0dp"]={},window.datawrapper["Si0dp"].embedDeltas={"100":424,"200":338,"300":295,"400":278,"500":252,"600":252,"700":252,"800":252,"900":252,"1000":252},window.datawrapper["Si0dp"].iframe=document.getElementById("datawrapper-chart-Si0dp"),window.datawrapper["Si0dp"].iframe.style.height=window.datawrapper["Si0dp"].embedDeltas[Math.min(1e3,Math.max(100*Math.floor(window.datawrapper["Si0dp"].iframe.offsetWidth/100),100))]+"px",window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if("undefined"!=typeof a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var b in a.data["datawrapper-height"])if("Si0dp"==b)window.datawrapper["Si0dp"].iframe.style.height=a.data["datawrapper-height"][b]+"px"});</script>

Women aged 35-54

Understandably, heart diseases and other diseases of the circulatory system are the main cause of deaths for this age group. 30% of women aged 35-54 died from such diseases, with diseases relating to &#39;pulmonary circulation&#39; (increased blood flow to <a href="http://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft9w1009p7&amp;chunk.id=d0e5033&amp;toc.id=&amp;brand=ucpress">the lungs</a>) responsible for 14%.

Women aged 55-69

Heart and other circulatory system diseases become an even bigger threat as women grow older, with 41%, or two out of every five deaths down to such diseases. Diseases related to pulmonary circulation caused 16% with ischaemic heart diseases causing 13%. Ischaemic heart diseases, also known as&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Coronary-heart-disease/Pages/Introduction.aspx">coronary artery diseases</a>, are diseases where blood flow is blocked by fatty deposits along the artery walls resulting in heart attacks or heart failure.

Women over 70

Diseases of the circulatory system continue to be a major factor, being responsible for 45% of deaths. Of this 19% are related to ischaemic heart diseases and 16% to issues with pulmonary circulation.

<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="252" id="datawrapper-chart-nNYsi" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" msallowfullscreen="msallowfullscreen" oallowfullscreen="oallowfullscreen" scrolling="no" src="//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/nNYsi/1/" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="100%"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">if("undefined"==typeof window.datawrapper)window.datawrapper={};window.datawrapper["nNYsi"]={},window.datawrapper["nNYsi"].embedDeltas={"100":424,"200":338,"300":295,"400":252,"500":252,"600":252,"700":252,"800":252,"900":252,"1000":252},window.datawrapper["nNYsi"].iframe=document.getElementById("datawrapper-chart-nNYsi"),window.datawrapper["nNYsi"].iframe.style.height=window.datawrapper["nNYsi"].embedDeltas[Math.min(1e3,Math.max(100*Math.floor(window.datawrapper["nNYsi"].iframe.offsetWidth/100),100))]+"px",window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if("undefined"!=typeof a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var b in a.data["datawrapper-height"])if("nNYsi"==b)window.datawrapper["nNYsi"].iframe.style.height=a.data["datawrapper-height"][b]+"px"});</script>

Going by these charts, we see that heart diseases are the biggest factor in women&#39;s health as they grow older, even more than infectious or respiratory diseases. Government interventions in public health would do well to keep that in mind.

Government interventions in public health should focus on reducing heart disease rather than the infectious diseases that plagued India in the past

Heart diseases are the biggest killer of Indian women

Researchers, including one of Indian-origin, have developed an electrical immunosensor for early detection of heart attacks, which provides results in just one minute. 
 
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Therefore, a fast and reliable diagnosis of heart attack is urgently needed, researchers said.&nbsp;The system works by measuring the level of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a protein that is excreted by the heart muscle into the blood following a heart attack. 
 
&quot;This new immunosensor is constructed in a different way than any other sensor. Owing to the new design of this immunosensor, this device is able to rapidly diagnose the level of heart attacks at the point of care,&quot; said Jaesung Jang from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in South Korea. 
 
Using just a single droplet of blood, this immunosensor detects the target protein present in the blood serum following a heart attack and provides a result in one minute. 
 
In the study, dielectrophoretic (DEP) forces were applied to attract the target protein. The incubation time required for the detection is decreased through DEP-mediated biomarker concentration, in which the target protein is attracted onto the sensing areas via electrical forces.&nbsp;Therefore, the dielectrophoretic concentration of cTnI reduced the incubation time required from 60 minutes to one minute, researchers said. 
 
&quot;The level of cTnI within a single droplet of blood serum is not great. However, we were able to attract the target protein onto the sensing areas via electrical forces, thereby greatly improving detection time and detection limit,&quot; said Chang-Ho Han from UNIST. 
 
According to researchers, including Abhinav Sharma from UNIST, this novel immunosensor holds considerable potential for use as a platform for sensing distinct types of proteins, along with the feasibility of miniaturisation and integration for biomedical diagnosis.&nbsp;The findings were published in the journal Biosensors &amp; Bioelectronics.
