Chandigarh 29th November:- The treatment for heart attack has improved remarkably
over a period of time. Thrombolytics were discovered that could dissolve the
clots, treat heart attacks and reduce the risk of death. Emergency coronary
angioplasty could reduce this risk even further. But nothing so far can reduce
the risk to naught.
Dr. Ankur
Ahuja, Director- Cardiology at Ivy Hospital, Mohali stated during an
informative session on ‘development in cardiac treatment’ today.
He said on the
other hand, there are certain heart attacks that lead to definite death, if
left untreated. One such entity is a heart attack arising from occlusion of the
left main coronary artery- the most important artery in the heart.
He pointed out
that such patients are difficult to save, even in the most advanced health care
centres. However recently a middle-aged man suffering from same situation was
treated successfully at Ivy.
Giving details
of the surgery Dr Ankur informed that the patient had ongoing chest pain for last few hours. He had a large
heart attack with severely compromised heart function.
Dr Ankur said
that his angiogram revealed total occlusion of the left main coronary artery.
Emergency angioplasty of the said artery was done with adjuvant IABP support.
The patient could ultimately survive the turbulent phase and now in healthy and
fit.
Dr Ankur remarked
that this is one of the best examples of optimal use of resources to get the
best result of saving a precious human life.
