HOW TECHNOLOGY IS SHAPING SAFER HEART SURGERIES IN INDIA

Over the past decade, heart care in India has undergone a remarkable transformation. What was once considered a high-risk procedure with extended hospital stays and prolonged recovery times has now evolved into a safer, more patient-centric approach. India now performs hundreds of thousands of cardiac procedures annually, with many hospitals adopting advanced technologies that make surgeries quicker, safer, and less invasive.

This shift is not solely due to new machines but also stems from a deeper understanding of the heart, more accurate diagnostic tests, and surgical methods tailored to each patient's needs. Today, individuals can receive heart care that is precise, faster, and reassuring, enabling them to not only live longer but also return to daily life healthier, more confident, and more in control of their well-being.

BEATING HEART BYPASS IS A GAMECHANGER IN HEART SURGERY

One of the most exciting advancements in heart care is beating heart bypass, also called off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). Unlike traditional bypass surgery, where the heart is stopped and a heart-lung machine is used, this procedure allows surgeons to operate while the heart is still beating. This approach has some clear benefits, like there's a lower risk of complications like stroke, bleeding, or kidney problems, and patients recover much faster. In fact, many can go home just two days after surgery and enjoy a healthy, symptom-free life for over 20 years.

India has become a global leader in beating heart surgery, with many hospitals and cardiac centers mastering this technique. By combining advanced surgical skills with careful patient management, Indian cardiac centers have set a world benchmark for safe, effective heart surgery.
