Complete Heart Care Available at Medanta Super Specialty Hospital, with 24/7 Availability of Cardiologists

Lucknow desk (R L Pandey): Medanta Super Specialty Hospital is a boon for heart patients. Led by a senior cardiologist, a team of doctors is always on hand to provide immediate care for all heart- related emergencies.

Dr. R.K. Saran, Director of the Cardiology Department at Medanta Super Specialty Hospital, explained that heart attacks occur due to blood clots in narrowed coronary arteries. He mentioned that 50% of acute heart attack patients succumb before reaching the hospital due to delays. Immediate and comprehensive treatment is critical in such cases, as every minute counts. Medanta offers this facility with cardiologists available round the clock. As soon as a patient arrives, the diagnostic process is completed within minutes, allowing specialists to determine whether clot-dissolving medicines are sufficient or angioplasty is required. Notably, angioplasty services are available even at night. The entire process takes less than an hour, minimizing heart damage and improving survival rates.
Dr. Saran further emphasized that Medanta provides comprehensive cardiac care with world-class facilities and advanced diagnostic tools such as PET-CT, cardiac MRI, and an advanced cath lab for precise procedures. State-of-the-art treatments are available for conditions like coronary artery disease, heart valve issues, and pediatric cardiology problems.
Dr. Gourango Majumdar, Director of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery (CVTS), highlighted surgical techniques for heart diseases, including valve replacement and bypass surgeries performed through small incisions and beating-heart surgeries.
Sharing his insights, Dr. Gourango Majumdar said, "The CVTS department at Medanta offers world-class facilities for cardiac surgeries. Beating-heart coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is routinely performed with excellent outcomes. Valve replacement surgeries for mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves are also carried out regularly. Even complex cases of heart diseases with low ejection fraction (EF) have shown exceptional results. Such patients are often referred to our unit for cardiac surgeries. Preventive care and timely interventions are crucial to improving patients' lives, and that is what we are committed to delivering."
Dr. P.K. Goyal, Director of Interventional Cardiology, highlighted the importance of opening blocked arteries during a heart attack in emergency situations. With 24/7 availability of specialist doctors, Medanta ensures this is done in the most effective and safest way. Dr. P.K. Goyal also discussed the possibility of performing complex interventions, stating that angioplasty is an effective technique for fully blocked arteries. This is successfully carried out by Medanta's cardiology team, which has one of the largest experiences in the field in the country.
