stories of
patient recoveries, the doctors shared a glimpse of the unmatched clinical excellence and
dedicated health workers of BMB in the new normal scenario which added a vibrant feeling
of hope to the session. This center is now the most preferred destination of the east in
cardiac care.
This year, the aim behind celebrating World Heart Day is to harness the power of digital
health, to improve the awareness, management and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
It is high time to educate people about the risk factors, which can lead towards cardiac
ailment. During the pandemic, we have seen that cardiac incidents were on a rise. A number
of patients developed cardiac ailments during Long Covid period. With an experience of
over three decades, this year the hospital has given a new lease of life to more than a
thousand patients who took that one risk to come forward and got themselves treated at
the hospital.
Age has become just a number in front of the surging cases of heart ailments all around the
world. Heart ailments are not restricted to any certain age group or condition nowadays.
Amidst this pandemic scenario, we are observing many cases of shortness of breath,
increased or decreased heart rate, palpitation and angina which lead to fear and anxiety.
There are severe problems like heart attack, thrombosis, blood clot formation, Myocarditis
etc. which can be fatal if not treated immediately. With outstanding clinical expertise and
state of art infrastructure at BM Birla Heart Research Centre, complex cardiac cases
witnessed excellent clinical outcomes.
On the occasion of World Heart Day, Dr. Simmardeep Gill, COO, CK Birla Hospitals
emphasizes on the importance of taking care of your heart. He says, “During the last one
and a half year, most of the hospitals including our super speciality Cardiac Centre were
thronged with cardiac patients. One of the reasons behind this surge was the sceptical
attitude of the society towards their routine checkup. For a period of time, people neglected
their cardiac health as they had an imperative fear of Covid. Through this medium, I want to
urge all of you to go back to your preventive cardiac check-up routines. If there is any sort of
intervention required, one must get it done in a timely manner before it becomes a grave
cardiac issue.”
BM Birla Heart Research Centre continued to admit and manage difficult cardiac patients of
all stages during the pandemic providing excellent clinical outcomes. Speaking about the
clinical excellence, Dr. Gill further adds, “The has operated on some unique cases both in
paediatrics and in the adult group during the last 8-12 months. We want to make sure that
every patient of India who requires any sort of cardiac intervention should avail the
expertise available at BMB. Our centre is the be-all and end-all cardiac care centre. On the
behalf of our organization, I would want to appeal to everybody to look after your heart.
Whatever tests or checkups you have missed due to the pandemic, please come back to the
hospitals and get them done. In this way, we can genuinely avoid the surge of emergency
cases.” He concludes. BM Birla Heart Research Centre is tirelessly focusing upon adapting
the medical advancements which are taking place around us so that they can deliver more
quality treatments to their patients the way forward.
