In order to provide an integrated solution for all cardiac ailments, Hinduja Healthcare Surgical, multi-specialty corporate hospital had launched its cardiac wellness programme.
Cardiac diseases are one of the leading causes of increasing mortality in the urban population of our country. Changing lifestyles, lack of adequate emergency facilities and personalized quality care could be the reasons for this loss of life.
Considering the seriousness of the situation, the hospital offers one of the most advanced Cardiac Sciences Units in the city and provides a comprehensive range of preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic services for cardiovascular ailments.
An entire floor at Hinduja Healthcare Surgical is dedicated to the cardiac sciences unit. This unit has state-of-art equipment and infrastructure to carry out non-invasive procedures that can help identify cardiac risk. The unit combines comprehensive cardiac care with patient education. The cardiac sciences unit has recently added a Rehab section which will run a comprehensive rehabilitation programme combining supervised exercise, education and nutritional information for all patients.
The emphasis on preventive cardiology is apparent with the inclusion of non-invasive assessment methodology like EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation), ECG with 16 lead capacity, High end real-time 3D / 4D Echo, TEE (Trans Esophageal Echocardiogram), DSE (Dobutamine Stress Echo) and Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. This is of immense value in case of high risk individuals with family history and other risk factors including life style habits.
With the introduction of this cardiac Rehab facility, Hinduja now offers comprehensive cardiac wellness extending from preventive to therapeutic to rehabilitation.
Speaking on the launch, Dr. Vishal Beri, CEO, Hinduja Healthcare Surgical said, “We at Hinduja Healthcare Surgical are pleased to provide the cardiac sciences unit to all our patients. Having established our credentials in delivering personalized quality healthcare, the launch of our cardiac Rehab facility re-affirms our commitment to provide meaningful extensions to our existing services thus ensuring end to end treatment solutions under one roof.”
Under the able guidance of extremely well known and senior cardiology and intervention consultant, Dr D B Pahlajani, this unit aims to address existing cardiovascular risk as well as preventive cardiology. Speaking on the occasion Dr. Pahlajani said, “At the cardiac sciences unit at Hinduja Healthcare Surgical we aim to address the critically important need to deliver the most advanced care and information to cardiac patients by appropriately trained and skilled doctors. We will have a heart team approach for our patients. The Heart Team approach includes a multi-disciplinary consultation and decision making team that will discuss the case in detail with the patient and care giver.”
