An Access to the Heart Through Your Hand

Coronary artery disease is a condition that causes impaired blood flow in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. It is also known as coronary heart disease (CHD), and if uncontrolled it can lead to a heart attack. It is a common heart condition and also one of the leading causes of death. Hence, it is crucial that coronary artery disease must get diagnosed and treated as early as possible. Seeing a cardiologist in Delhi should be the first step if anyone is suspecting symptoms of coronary artery disease.

Rise in cases of asymptomatic heart attacks amongst middle aged people

Asymptomatic heart attacks medically known as silent myocardial infarction (SMI) annually accounts for around 45-50% of morbidities due to cardiac ailments and even premature deaths in India. The incidences among middle aged people experiencing SMI is twice likely to develop in males than females. The symptoms of SMI being very mild in comparison to an actual heart attack; it is described as a silent killer. Unlike the symptoms in a normal heart attack which includes extreme chest pain, stabbing pain in the arms, neck & jaw, sudden shortness of breath, sweating and dizziness, the symptoms of SMI are very brief and hence confused with regular discomfort and most often ignored.

Women Less Likely to Receive CPR than Men!

Are We Letting Gender Prejudice Come in the Way of Saving Life? For thousands of Indians, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a word hard to pronounce, difficult to spell, and perhaps, even more, difficult to ingrain in people’s minds, especially in India, where despite increased efforts of spreading awareness, the importance of the act is slow to catch on. It is estimated that 98% of Indians don’t know about CPR. At most of the times, CPR is used as a pretext to introduce mouth to mouth breathing, invoking humor or romance on celluloid and movie screens, where the lead pair is seen saving each other after a brave rescue from drowning or the uncomfortable funny situation between two male friends, again at behest of one saving the other. The importance of the act, the context, and the technical nature of performing it goes for a toss. But that is as much sense that can be expected from celluloid.

What Do You Need to Know About Primary and Secondary Prevention Of CAD?

Narrowing or blockage of the arteries is known as Coronary Artery Disease or CAD. Blockage occurs due to the buildup of cholesterol or plaque on the inner surface of the arteries. This course is slow, happens over a period while the deposits harden over time.

Our Technological Advancements

Extra Corporeal Membrane Therapy (ECMO)

Extra Corporeal Membrane Therapy (ECMO) is a high end rescue therapy for patients suffering from heart and lung failure but are neurologically intact. The technology provides support during high-risk procedures in the cardiac catheterization lab after a serious heart attack. It acts as a bridge for patients awaiting lung transplant. The ECMO helps keep the tissues well oxygenated, thereby making the candidate suitable for a transplant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Brugada syndrome?

Brugada syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the electrical system of the heart, leading to an increased risk of abnormal heart rhythms and sudden cardiac arrest.

What causes Brugada syndrome?

Brugada syndrome is primarily caused by mutations in certain genes that control the flow of sodium ions in the heart's cells. These genetic mutations disrupt the normal electrical signals and increase the risk of arrhythmias.

Is Brugada syndrome inherited?

Yes, Brugada syndrome is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that a person with the condition has a 50% chance of passing it on to each of their children.

What are the symptoms of Brugada syndrome?

The most common symptom of Brugada syndrome is fainting or sudden loss of consciousness, often during sleep or rest. Other symptoms may include heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

How is Brugada syndrome diagnosed?

Diagnosis of Brugada syndrome involves a combination of clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram (ECG) testing, and genetic testing. The ECG pattern associated with Brugada syndrome is known as a "coved-type" ST-segment elevation.

Can Brugada syndrome be treated?

Yes, treatment for Brugada syndrome aims to prevent life-threatening arrhythmias. This may involve the implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to deliver a shock to restore normal heart rhythm if a dangerous arrhythmia occurs.

Can medications help manage Brugada syndrome?

In some cases, medications such as anti-arrhythmic drugs may be prescribed to help control abnormal heart rhythms in individuals with Brugada syndrome. However, the effectiveness of medications varies among patients.

Are there any lifestyle modifications recommended for individuals with Brugada syndrome?

Yes, certain lifestyle modifications may be advised, such as avoiding triggers that can worsen arrhythmias, including certain medications, alcohol, and fever-inducing drugs. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is also important.

Can Brugada syndrome be cured?

Currently, there is no known cure for Brugada syndrome. However, with proper management and adherence to treatment strategies, the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias can be significantly reduced.

Can individuals with Brugada syndrome participate in sports or physical activities?

The participation of individuals with Brugada syndrome in sports and physical activities should be evaluated on an individual basis. Generally, competitive sports with a high intensity or risk of collision are discouraged. Avoid swimming.

Can Brugada syndrome be detected prenatally?

Prenatal diagnosis of Brugada syndrome is possible through genetic testing if a specific mutation is known to be present in the family. However, this is not routinely performed unless there is a strong family history of the condition.

Are there any known complications associated with Brugada syndrome?

The main complication of Brugada syndrome is the risk of sudden cardiac arrest, which can be life-threatening. Prompt medical intervention and the use of an ICD significantly reduce this risk.

Can Brugada syndrome affect children?

Yes, Brugada syndrome can affect individuals of any age, including children. If a child has a family history of the syndrome or experiences unexplained fainting or arrhythmias, they should be evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist.

Is genetic testing necessary for all family members of an individual diagnosed with Brugada syndrome?

It is generally recommended that first-degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of an individual diagnosed with Brugada syndrome undergo genetic testing to determine if they carry the genetic mutation.

Can alcohol consumption trigger arrhythmias in individuals with Brugada syndrome?

Yes, alcohol consumption has been reported to trigger arrhythmias in some individuals with Brugada syndrome. It is advised to limit or avoid alcohol consumption if diagnosed with the condition.

Can Brugada syndrome be associated with other heart conditions?

Brugada syndrome is primarily a disorder of the heart's electrical system. However, it can coexist with other heart conditions, such as structural abnormalities or certain genetic disorders, which may require additional evaluation and management.

Are there any alternative therapies or complementary approaches for managing Brugada syndrome?

Currently, there are no alternative therapies or complementary approaches that have been proven to effectively manage Brugada syndrome. It is crucial to consult with a qualified cardiologist for evidence-based treatment options.
