Following this, the gym staff reacted quickly to the situation and assisted Anvita, taking her to a nearby private hospital. After being examined by medical experts, it was concluded that Anvita had suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away, Newsnine reports.

The passing of this young and devoted doctor has brought sorrow to her family, friends, and the medical community, who were deeply shocked by the news.

Although the cause behind her sudden heart attack is unclear, there are emerging speculations that the doctor died of a heart attack due to the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic vaccinations. This speculation has been gaining momentum with the rising cases of cardiac arrest especially in the young after the pandemic 

 Medical Dialogues team had reported recently that an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) peer-reviewed study ruled out any link between COVID-19 vaccination and the cases of sudden cardiac arrests in the country.

The study, published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research noted that family history of sudden deaths, post-COVID-19 hospitalisation, intense unaccustomed activity, etc and not COVID-19 vaccines are the contributing factors to an increased risk of sudden deaths among young adults.
