In August 2023, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has just begun two major studies to investigate the mystery behind the unusually high number of young people dying suddenly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr Rajiv Bahl, Director-General of ICMR, told News18 about these audacious projects on the sidelines of the WHO Global Traditional Medicine Summit that was held in Gujarat on August 17 and 18.

PocDoc recently announced in June 2024 that its home test kit for cardiovascular disease (CVD) will include a new feature allowing patients to view test results on their NHS patient records. The PocDoc at-home kit establishes point-of-care diagnostic testing for CVD with a complete cholesterol panel, and data such as heart age, 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke, and BMI are found within the PocDoc app. Patients also get access to further treatment options if required.

In April 2024, Huntington Medical Research Institutes and California Institute of Technology (Caltech), located in Pasadena, witnessed a groundbreaking cardiovascular medicine development when an outstanding, innovative young researcher made significant progress toward developing a noninvasive method for diagnosing heart attacks and heart failure. At present, cardiovascular researchers at the Institutes have made headway in artificial intelligence applications for detecting silent and super-silent heart attacks.

The Indian Bollywood actress, Sushmita Sen, suffered a heart attack on Thursday but she is now doing fine. This information was shared by ‘Sush’ through social media after work last Thursday. To the surprise of many, fitness enthusiast Sushmita Sen had undergone angioplasty after experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest. It is used to reinstate blood flow via narrowed or blocked vessels as performed by medical professionals. In the operation they put in an inflatable balloon at the end of a catheter that goes into this artery. By doing so, it lets more of that fluid flow much easier and prevents clogs from causing heart attacks or strokes later in life. The procedure can be done with or without using a stent which is like a small metallic mesh tube placed inside your arteries to keep them open for you.
