In
order to give good survival to patients following heart attack or chest pain,
interventional cardiologists are now making use of newer technologies that
provides them with detailed inside information about patient’s heart.
This
was told by Dr. Rajneesh Kapoor, Director- Interventional Cardiology at Heart
Institute, Medanta The Medicity, Gurgram, Haryana. He was addressing a press
conference, prior to his medical education meet with the physicians of Sirsa on
newer technologies in heart disease treatment.
Dr. Kapoor
told that “We have been urging people to consult the nearby doctor as soon as
possible if they notice any symptom of heart attack such as breathlessness,
cold sweat or chest pain. This is because more quickly an interventional
cardiologist can treat a heart attack with procedure such as angioplasty or
stents, the better a patient’s chance of survival.”
Dr. Kapoor while answering a query about pros and cons of
different Cooking Oils in Indian kitchens said, that most of the oils have
their own merits and de-merits, it will be a good idea that instead of continuously
using just one type of Cooking medium, one should keeping switching
periodically to different types of Oils. He also highlighted that cooking oil that has been once
used should not be reused, and proper care should be taken in storage of
cooking oils in tightly closed containers placed in well lit areas.
He said
“As important as time, are the newer technologies in ensuring good survival to
heart attack patients.
“Using
FFR technology, we get detailed information about the pressure of blood flow
inside the heart arteries of the patient. Through this information we can
easily prescribe if the patient needs a stent or not.”
He
added “In a report from a study of 15 heart attack patients who we treated
using the help of FFR data it has been found that the need of stenting was
reduced by up to 30%. In few cases where the blockage was even around 80%, the
need of stenting was dismissed. The tests that provide us the data are FDA
approved and have 95% success rate.”
Dr. Kapoor
told that “For patients who need stents, the survival benefits are maximum if
the stent is placed at the right place, in right size and right manner.”
“Using
OCT technology, we are able to get high resolution pictures of inside area of
blocked artery. Using the information from pictures we are able to give the
patient more accurate stent placement.”
He
added “Benefits of good stent placement to patients are huge. There is
significant reduction in treatment related complications, stent induced
thrombosis and future risk of complications.”
Dr.
Naresh Trehan, Managing Director, Medanta The Medicity, Gurugram, Haryana told,
“The incidences of heart disease are rising year after year. People are bending
towards unhealthy eating and inactive lifestyle. These coupled with risk
factors such as smoking or chewable tobacco use is putting people at high risk
of heart attack.”
Dr. Trehan
advises that people must work towards prevention from heart disease. “90% of
heart attack is preventable. Even people who are pre disposed to heart disease
because of family history can live safe. This can be accomplished by daily
exercise, healthy eating, good sleep, combating stress and controlling BP &
Sugar”
