Saving Precious Lives with Effective Management of Cardiac Emergencies


With news pouring in, almost daily, from various sources about someone or the other passing away due to a cardiac arrest, it is not hard to guess the kind of toll this condition is taking on the population of India. Also, the condition no longer seems to be limited to individuals in the older age bracket alone, since various studies suggest a lot of people in their 40s being unable to survive cardiac arrests too. However grave the situation may seem, fact is that most of these cases could have easily be avoided or revived with the help of adequate cardiac emergency measures.

With the rapid change in lifestyle and a mounting amount of stress, today, all individuals have become prone to cardiac arrest. Indians, especially due to their genetic disposition, are most susceptible to falling prey to this condition. However, the health care system in India still needs to cope up with this sudden increase in numbers. A considerable amount of patients are known not to survive the journey from their place to the hospital due to the lack of individuals specializing in handling emergencies related to cardiac arrests and other heart ailments. For this reason, persons with professional training in the effective management of cardiac emergencies are being sought after by the top hospital in the country.

  1. Thanks for this great post. Medical Tourism is a recent concept that has gained much popularity and attention in the past one decade. It refers to the tourist trend of foreign nationals visiting other countries, on the pretext of availing their medical facilities, while also taking the opportunity to travel and sightseeing.
