"When I experienced severe chest and shoulder pain, my family was extremely concerned. Dr Praveen Kumar and the team at Medicover Hospitals provided exceptional care. Even at the age of 70, the surgery was successful, and my recovery has been smooth. The physiotherapy and continuous monitoring made a big difference.

What is a Cardiac Arrest?

Cardiac arrest is the sudden cessation of heart function, breathing, and consciousness, usually caused by an electrical disturbance that disrupts the heart's pumping action. Immediate intervention is critical to prevent organ damage or death. While severe chest and shoulder pain can precede a coronary event, cardiac arrest specifically refers to the heart abruptly stopping.

Warning signs may include severe chest pain radiating to the shoulder, arm, back, or jaw, shortness of breath, and palpitations.
Cardiac arrest requires urgent interventions such as CPR and defibrillation.
Underlying causes, like severe coronary artery disease or heart valve issues, are often treated with surgery or interventional procedures.
Treatment options include medication management, implantable devices (ICDs), or, in complex cases, open-heart surgery to restore proper heart function.

What Treatment did we provide to AD Basha at Medicover?

AD Basha underwent Open Heart Surgery performed by Dr B S Praveen Kumar to address his critical cardiac condition. This procedure was essential to restore blood flow to the heart muscle and ensure the best possible recovery outcome.

The surgery involved a precise incision through the breastbone to access the heart for repair.
The goal was to successfully complete the complex procedure while minimizing risk due to the patient's age (70 years).
Post-operative care included dedicated physiotherapy sessions to restore strength and mobility.
A detailed recovery plan was provided, including dietary guidance and a follow-up schedule to monitor progress and support a return to normal daily activities.
