Women & Heart attack It was very pleasant to meet a lady patient today at my heart centre (along with her very caring husband) whom I treated 5 yrs before when she was brought by 108 ambulance service with CPR ongoing. She was immediately taken to cath lab with continuing CPR, she was put on a ventilator, temporary pacemaker, intra aortic balloon pump and PTCA+stenting to culprit vessel was done immediately. She needed a prolonged ICU care and hospital stay, recovered well. Today her heart function is almost recovered. Many Heart attack patient can be saved if they get timely treatment. Female also get heart attack even though lesser then males particularly in premenopausal years. women are less privileged to get medical services and treatment compared to fellow males unfortunately not only in our country but world over. ** No negligent approach should be there when female complaints of uneasiness,chest discomfort, breathlessness, palpitations, giddiness and neck & jaw pain. Females may have frequent atypical symptoms of heart attack compared to males, so more alertness needed. My relevant article in Divya Bhaskar can be helpful to needy. #Apollohospitals #Apollo #drlalheartcentre #drlaldaga #besthospital #heart #health #bestcardiologist #preventivehealth #interventionalcardiology #Apollo24*7 #theheartofprogress #AskApollo #Apollohospitalinternational

Adults over the age of 65 are encouraged to undergo eye exams about once per year. A comprehensive exam will check the function of your eyes, but it will also detect more serious issues, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. Remember that the sooner you catch these issues, the more treatable they are. https://lnkd.in/eE4r5ZCe #visioncare #eyehealth #eyeexam

👁️✨ 𝗜𝗟𝗟𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗮 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵! 👀📢 Did you know that glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide? This January, let's join hands in spreading awareness about this silent sight-stealer. 🌐✨ 🔍 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲? Because early detection saves sight! Regular eye check-ups can help identify glaucoma in its early stages, giving individuals a chance to preserve their vision. 👁️💙 🌟 Did you know? 1️⃣ More than 2.7 million Americans over age 40 have glaucoma. 2️⃣ Once glaucoma damages your optic nerve, lost vision cannot be restored. Early detection combined with treatment can slow or stop glaucoma progression.! If you're over 60, have a family history of glaucoma, or live with conditions like diabetes, schedule a comprehensive eye exam. 🗓️👁️ 3️⃣ The only clinically proven treatment for glaucoma is to lower eye pressure. Some medicines cause the eye to make less fluid. Others lower pressure by helping fluid drain from the eye. Advocate for regular eye screenings in your community. The more eyes we check, the more sight we save! 🌐💪 🤝 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗪𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽? Our healthcare advocates are here for you! Whether you need information, resources, or support in navigating your eye health journey, we've got your back. DM us for assistance! Check out tomorrows blog post for more information. 💌🤗 Let's make this Glaucoma Awareness Month the one where we shine a light on the importance of eye health. Together, we can ensure that everyone has the chance to see a brighter future! 🌈👁️💙 #GlaucomaAwareness #EyeHealth #VisionMatters #HealthcareAdvocacy #SightSavers #Patient Advocate #HealthcareAdvocate #SeniorHealth #youarenotalone #HavenHealthcareAdvocates

In the delicate world of premature babies or infants needing intensive care, every moment counts. That's where the umbilical catheter steps in, a tiny yet mighty tool that plays a pivotal role in their journey to health. Picture this: a slender tube delicately inserted into the umbilical vein, offering a direct pathway for medications, fluids, and even blood samples. It's a lifeline, especially for those too fragile for traditional IV access. But its importance extends beyond mere convenience. The umbilical catheter minimizes trauma for these tiny warriors, reducing the need for repeated needle sticks and preserving their delicate veins. It's a testament to medical innovation and compassion, providing optimal care while minimizing discomfort. So next time you marvel at the resilience of premature babies, spare a thought for the unsung hero working quietly in the background - the umbilical catheter, ensuring they get the best possible chance at a healthy start to life. #NeonatalCare #UmbilicalCatheter #MedicalMarvels #IDEALCARE #medicaldevices #medtech #malaysia

The theme of this year's #WorldGlaucomaWeek is "uniting for a Glaucoma-free world." According to the #NationalEyeInstitute, more than 2.7 million Americans over the age of 40 have glaucoma, a number that is expected to more than double by 2050. Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness, but the only way to diagnose it early is through regular, dilated eye exams. In response to the growing demand, #EyeCarePartner's #IntegratedApproach, with #optometrists and #ophthalmologists working together, is transforming the delivery of eye care to help every patient see their best. Our dedication to #clinicalresearch means that we can provide patients with new and improved treatment options. #ElevateEyeCare
