Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice with major public health impact mainly due to increased risk of stroke. The recent Global Burden Disease Study reported a lack prevalence data from India. Our goal was conduct pilot study evaluate feasibility assessing AF and stroke prophylaxis an urban Indian community.A screening camp conducted Nagpur, India, that evaluated adults aged ≥18 years. We collected demographics, recorded blood...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is of increasing public health importance in India. The magnitude has been over the past three decades. DM associated with major microvascular complications among which diabetic retinopathy (DR) emerging as one leading causes visual impairment low and middle income countries. Two-thirds Indian population resides rural areas where access to modern medicine limited mostly system. Operational guidelines are critical delivering program components effectively. They provide...
Background Ventricular tachycardia (VT), a common manifestation of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), is associated with high morbidity and mortality. It could be mistaken for idiopathic VT (IVT) in the absence systemic manifestations overt structural abnormality. We studied electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristics CS that may distinguish from IVT also explored relationship ECG imaging findings patients CS. Methods Results Twelve‐lead (Group I = 37) were compared II 49). QRS duration, axis,...
The burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing worldwide. It often asymptomatic, with stroke being the first manifestation in some. AF community and practice prophylaxis has not been studied India. problem might be higher rural regions due to poor health awareness challenges healthcare access. This study aimed estimate prevalence AF, clinical profile risk India.This a community-based cross-sectional done Andhra Pradesh (AP). Adults from 40 villages formed population. We did door-to...
FigureThe end of this year will mark the beginning third decade existence physician assistant (PA) profession in India. With just three graduates 1994, has now grown to nearly 1,300 PAs, with another 1,200 pursuing program. However, PA is not yet licensed THE BEGINNING Contrasting experience other countries, India started as an experiment a private, tertiary cardiovascular facility Chennai, Tamil Nadu state. PAs who graduated from that program moved along cardiologists and surgeons left...
Atrial synchronous left ventricular (LV) only pacing using two leads and VDD pacemaker could be a cost effective alternative to conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We implanted right atrial (RA) LV with pulse generator (LV pacing) in five carefully screened heart failure patients who not afford CRT. All had NYHA class III/IV symptoms despite maximal guideline directed medical therapy. The sensed atrioventricular delay was programmed pre-excite the achieve fusion beat....
Epicardial approach to VT ablation increases the success rate of but is not without complications. We studied safety and efficacy epicardial ablations performed at our institute.All patients who underwent institute were retrospectively. The outcome was among three groups: ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), non-ischaemic (NICM) granulomatous myocarditis (GM). Safety outcomes assessed included all complications considered be due pericardial access or mapping/ablation.A total 54 (total 119 VTs,...
The endovascular approach of ablation renal sympathetic nerves is found to be effective in the treatment uncontrolled hypertension. We report here our experience with procedure eight patients drug resistant included whom blood pressure remained above 150/90 mmHg despite being on minimum three antihypertensive drugs. Radiofrequency both arteries was done using conventional catheters. were followed at 1-month, 3 months and 6 post recorded. All underwent successful denervation. mean 181/102.5...
The epidemiology of atrial fibrillation (AF) in India has not been studied systematically large scale population based surveys. Stroke is one the leading causes death and disability India. As AF a major contributor stroke, it important to know burden stroke risk population. Andhra Pradesh Atrial Fibrillation (AP-AF) study aims assess prevalence, etiology, factors among rural Pradesh, This cross-sectional survey done using two-stage sampling process. Adults (≥18years) from villages East West...
Are the Irish willing to be seen by a physician associate? ABSTRACT This study investigated willingness of citizens associate (PA) based on medical scenarios in typical clinical setting. The PA role was piloted Dublin, Ireland, between 2015 and 2017 but concept PAs acceptance their Ireland had not been explored. A preference survey, with three scenarios, gave participants choice treated or physician, two time trade-off options offered. Responses were supported qualitative text. Four hundred...
