Topic Description :

Saving Deaths and Damages from Heart Attacks

1 CPD

Learning Objectives:

  1. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer- > 17 millions of lives are lost every year.
  2. Heart attacks- Acute Myocardial Infarctions (Ac. MI) are the most common form of devastation.
  3. A number of lives can be saved by timely intervention; early recognition is extremely important to prevent deaths and long-term damages.
  4. There is a significant gap in ‘what can be done’ and ‘what is actually done’.
  5. Healthcare personnel, involved at whatever stage – need to identify quickly those patients suffering from Ac. MI and start initial treatment; then arrange their transfer to the next appropriate centre.
  6. Public awareness is also one of the key components.
  7. Multiple stakeholders viz. policymakers, insurance providers, healthcare networks etc. have the collective responsibility.
  8. It is equally important to prevent the subsequent Acute MI by proper long term secondary prevention measures.
