JAMMU, Mar 23: Head Department of Cardiology GMCH Jammu Dr Sushil Sharma and his dedicated team of doctors and paramedics took a commendable initiative by organizing cardiac Awareness cum health check up camp at village Bhatyari area of Bishnah, Jammu especially focused on heart rhythm disorders. The camp attracted a large number of participants, including patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions, elderly individuals, and even young adults who wished to assess their heart health proactively.
While interacting with the people Dr Sushil stated that heart health has always been a critical concern, but in recent years, the alarming rise in heart rhythm disorders, or arrhythmias, has brought new urgency to the discussion. In an alarming revelation, recent medical reports have indicated that one in three individuals worldwide is at risk of developing a serious heart rhythm disorder, a condition that remains largely under diagnosed and poorly understood.
Heart rhythm disorders, medically known as cardiac arrhythmias, occur due to malfunctions in the heart’s electrical conduction system, leading to irregular, too fast, or too slow heartbeats. While some arrhythmias are benign, others can escalate into life-threatening conditions such as stroke, heart failure, or sudden cardiac arrest. Given the increasing prevalence of these disorders, medical professionals are raising urgent concerns about the lack of awareness and the need for proactive diagnosis and management. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) has called for immediate action to improve early detection and prevention,” Dr Sharma said.
Others who were part of this camp include Dr Yashwant Sharma, Dr Dhaneshwer Kapoor and Dr Aditya Sharma. Paramedics and volunteers include Raghav Rajput, Rajkumar, Ranjeet Singh, Maninder Singh, Rohit Nayyar, Vikas Kumar, Gourav Sharma, Rajinder Singh and Nirvair Singh Bali.
