WORLD HEART DAY SYMPOSIUM 2025

Every Beat Counts

As we observe World Heart Day on September 29th with the theme "Use Heart for Action," it is crucial to address the escalating concern of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in India. CVDs are the leading cause of death globally, with coronary artery disease (CAD) increasingly affecting both urban and rural populations. Lifestyle changes, high stress, hypertension, and diabetes contribute to this alarming trend, with younger individuals under 40 experiencing heart attacks.Advanced technology and innovative alternative treatment options like Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) for aortic valve replacement, Bioresorbable Scaffolds (BRS), and Drug-Eluting Stents (DES) to treat blocked arteries, Robotic & Minimally invasive valve surgery for Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement are not only improving patient outcomes but also focus on patient comfort and faster recovery.


Campaigns like "Treatment Zaroori Hai" play a vital role in raising awareness about these cutting-edge therapies across various specialties. By promoting early intervention and timely treatment , such initiatives empower patients to take charge of their health while highlighting the collective burden untreated conditions place on patients and their families. As medical technology advances, campaigns like these are crucial in bridging knowledge gaps and promoting a holistic approach to heart health and overall well-being.
