About Patient's Treatment and Recovery

M Padma's recovery from severe cardiac distress highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and expert medical care. When she was admitted to Medicover Hospitals, Kurnool, her family was deeply concerned, as she had been experiencing sleeplessness and severe heart-related symptoms. Dr B S Praveen Kumar, Cardiologist, conducted a thorough assessment and confirmed significant blockages in her heart arteries through an angiogram. To restore blood flow and protect her heart, Dr Praveen Kumar and the team performed a Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery. With careful surgical technique and attentive post-operative care, M Padma recovered quickly and regained her health, giving her family reassurance and renewed confidence in her wellbeing.

Patient Words

"My mother's heart condition was extremely worrying, especially with her sleepless nights and fatigue. After the angiogram showed the blockages, we knew immediate intervention was necessary. Dr Praveen Kumar performed the bypass surgery, and her recovery was remarkable. The staff at Medicover Hospitals were attentive, supportive and caring throughout. Seeing her healthy again has brought us immense relief and we are very grateful for the professional care she received."

What is a Heart Vein Blockage

A heart vein blockage, medically called Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to fatty deposits called plaques. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart, which can cause chest pain, fatigue, or more serious events like a heart attack.

Symptoms include chest pain or tightness (angina), shortness of breath and extreme tiredness, especially during physical activity.
Severe or complete blockages can lead to a heart attack if blood flow is fully obstructed.
Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow to the heart, using medications, lifestyle management and procedures such as bypass surgery when necessary.

What Treatment did we provide to M Padma at Medicover?

At Medicover Hospitals, Kurnool, M Padma underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) performed by Dr B S Praveen Kumar. The procedure was recommended because her angiogram showed serious blockages in the heart arteries causing her cardiac distress. CABG surgery creates new pathways for blood to flow around blocked arteries, restoring proper circulation to the heart muscle.

A detailed angiogram to identify the precise location and severity of the arterial blockages.
Bypass surgery to reroute blood flow around the blocked heart arteries.
Post-operative care and rehabilitation to support recovery, manage pain and restore cardiac function, which enabled her to recover swiftly and safely.
