JAMMU, Aug 27: Paras Hospitals, Gurugram, a leading multi-specialty hospital, launched a heart care OPD to provide world-class clinical diagnosis and consultation for cardiovascular issues in Jammu.
This is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the city, which does not have the access to any super-specialty or multi-specialty hospital.
Experienced and renowned cardiologist of international repute Dr Amit Bhushan Sharma, Director and Unit Head – Cardiology, Paras Hospitals, Gurugram will be available for the outreach OPD tomorrow 10 am and 2pm at Dr DB Sharma Clinic, 34 Dennis Gate, Opposite Hansraj Park, Jammu.
The outreach OPD will be beneficial for people suffered from heart attack, stroke, heart failure, arrhythmia and heart valve complications besides consultation on Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), Heart valve repair or replacement and Insertion of a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, angina pain, heart failure, rheumatic heart disease, congestive heart failure, congenital heart disease, peripheral artery disease, peripheral angiography treatment, pericarditis and pulmonary hypertension.
Dr Amit Bhushan Sharma, MD, DM Cardiology, FSCAI, FCI (New York), FIPD (USA), Director and Unit Head – Cardiology, Paras Hospitals, Gurugram said, “We wish to extend our facilities and advanced services to every nook and corner of the country. With this mission, Paras is taking one step at a time and one of these grateful steps is our new heart care OPD in Jammu Tawi. Our initiatives in such locations for diagnostics and healthcare services have been a great success and we aim to see the same here. Cardiac cases can be complicated and patients are often misled if not directed to accurate heart care services. This OPD will make their life easier as most procedures and consultations will be done right in the clinic. It is always best to get in touch with an expert cardiologist for a quick treatment of any heart related problems. Lack of it can make the scenario worse and out of hand for the doctor to take any actions in helping the patient.”
