Heart Disease

What causes sudden heart failure? Sudden heart failure can occur even in seemingly healthy hearts, often due to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is a genetic condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, making it harder for the heart to pump blood. How timely diagnosis of HCM can save lives? HCM is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death. Some patients may have no symptoms, while others may experience breathlessness, chest pain, palpitations, and more. Early detection and treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can prevent sudden cardiac death. In this episode of the Kauvery Podcast, Prof. P. Manokar, one of the Best Cardiologists in Chennai and Dr. Anbarasu Mohanraj, the best cardiothoracic surgeon in Chennai, Kauvery Hospital, explain what HCM is, why it’s dangerous, and how timely care can save lives.

Congestive heart diseases in children are common and 1 in 100 children are born with it. 30% of these problems come under critical congenital heart diseases. If these conditions are not found and treated within days of their birth, it can prove to be fatal for the children. A fetal echocardiogram can help identify congestive heart condition even before the child is born. It has to be done by a trained pediatric cardiologist or fetal medicine specialist in a pediatric hospital. Watch Dr. Mani Ram Krishna of Kauvery Hospital, one of the best pediatric cardiologists in Trichy talk about the prevention of heart diseases in newborns.
