Bhatinda, December 17, 2024: Max Super Speciality Hospital, Bathinda has launched a comprehensive campaign to raise awareness about emergency services required for cardiac and neuro cases during the winter season.
Dr. Ishtiyaq Masood, consultant & HOD interventional cardiology at Max Hospital, Bathinda said that cold weather contributes to the tightening of blood vessels, preserving core body temperature but increasing the risk of cardiac and stroke ailments.
“Effective management of heart conditions includes a combination of lifestyle changes, medicines, and non-invasive treatments. Some simple lifestyle changes include eating a healthy balanced diet, being physically active, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and controlling blood cholesterol and sugar levels,”
Dr. Masood further said that heart failure or cardiovascular disease refers to the fact that your heart is not as healthy as it should be.
“It is crucial to recognize the early symptoms of heart attacks and brain strokes, as early diagnosis can lead to timely treatment and better outcomes. Stroke symptoms include balance loss, blurred or lost eyesight, facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulties, and the importance of time,”
Similarly, cardiac symptoms such as chest heaviness, uneasiness, or difficulty breathing should not be ignored. Seeking treatment within the first 4.5 hours ensures the best chances of recovery, maintained Dr. Masood.
Dr. Pallav Jain consultant neurology said, “In stroke the golden hour—the initial four hours—is extremely important. Patients who receive medical intervention during this time have a much greater chance of survival and can avoid long-term brain damage if they arrive at the hospital promptly.”
Meanwhile Max Hospital, Bathinda offers comprehensive services across specialities including cardiology, oncology, neurosciences, orthopaedics, diabetes, gastroenterology and pulmonology.
