The beginning and journey of the Cardio service

The Institute follows a diverse and comprehensive approach to treating its patients by addressing all areas of prevention, from primary prevention to advanced cardiac prevention. In primary prevention, people are educated about heart diseases by creating health awareness and preventing the onset of diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, obesity, and addiction.

For this, the doctor explains that the targets are young people because from the age of 20, people start to develop symptoms of cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Priya says, “The American Heart Association recommends that from the age of 20 all people should have a cardiovascular health check once every five years and after the age of 40, the examination should be done regularly, say a year one or two. “

Primary prevention is to identify people who have already been diagnosed with a disease that causes third-stage heart failure. The second prevention is to treat heart problems in diagnosed people. Doctors work closely with patients and their family members to reverse their heart blockages. The last step, preventing higher education is for heart patients with problems.

Greater reach

The Institute of Health has also published various papers confirming that heart prevention is also an option in developing countries such as India. “We were learning about the possibilities. Going forward, we will work on taking this approach to lakhs where thousands are now benefiting,” he says. Gopi Koteswaran, co-founder of the Heart Wellness Institute and Dzruptiv AI, talks about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI). and digital in healthcare.

He says, “Early diagnosis and better decision making are few benefits. Working with AI will help doctors in early detection and diagnosis. By digital, he refers to digitizing the healthcare system and reaching millions of people with a tap on their devices. This is also one of the agendas that the team is focusing on this year.

Dr. Priya sees the future as bleak because the age barrier has fallen and the younger generation is at greater risk. He suggests that eating with the right quality and quantity, regular exercise, good sleeping conditions, avoiding smoking, reducing stress, and regular exams should be habits that are developed for a better tomorrow. “While career success and personal enjoyment are important, taking care of the heart is just as important,” he says.
