Due to Dr Shinde's dedication and regular follow-ups and care by the medical team, my father was stabilized and was able to return to his daily life. We are truly grateful for the entire experience at Medicover Hospitals, Pune and for the expert help of Dr Sonam Shinde during this difficult time." - Mrs Aditi Shinde (Daughter)

What is a Severe Heart Attack?

An acute heart attack, medically known as myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is severely restricted or completely blocked, often due to a clot that has formed in one of the coronary arteries. This blockage prevents the heart muscle from getting the oxygen and nutrients it needs, causing tissue damage.

Symptoms typically include crushing chest pain that may radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, or back, shortness of breath, cold sweats, and dizziness. Immediate medical intervention is essential in these situations to restore blood flow, limit damage to the heart muscle, and save the patient's life.
