“Given Vladimir Putin’s reported episode, if authentic, the severity cannot be underscored enough. A cardiac arrest isn’t a fleeting chest pain – it’s the heart’s desperate cry for immediate medical intervention.”
Dr Ali, the lead writer for Sleep Bubble, also warned Putin could be more vulnerable than most people of his age due to the huge pressures he has faced while holding one of the most stressful leadership roles in the world.
He continued: “These issues are intensified by the demands of holding one of the most stressful leadership roles globally.
“The tumultuous and rigorous nature of his position, marred by international conflicts, domestic pressures, and diplomatic challenges, could undoubtedly cast a heavy toll.
“Stress, as we know, can be a silent yet potent assailant, covertly exacerbating health conditions and predisposing an individual to various ailments.”
He added: “Sleep deprivation, an often overlooked adversary, poses a significant threat to our health. The repercussions of chronic sleeplessness extend far beyond fatigue or mere irritability.
“It systematically weakens the body’s immune defences, exacerbates existing health concerns, and introduces a bevy of cognitive and physical complications.
“When juxtaposed with the weighty responsibilities of a world leader, the absence of restful sleep could amplify stress levels, potentially accelerating the onset of health complications.”
However, Dr Ali has also urged a level of caution over how accurate the claims are around Putin’s speculated ill-health.
The expert concluded: “It’s crucial to recognise the limitations of our knowledge. Without concrete medical records or a direct evaluation by healthcare professionals, speculations remain just that – conjectures.
“They may offer a framework for understanding, but they shouldn’t be mistaken for concrete diagnoses.”
