A 69-year-old Delhi-based man, Prakash Anand (name changed), had undergone a cardiac procedure-stenting in 2016 when he had a severe blockage. Recently, due to the extreme cold conditions in the city, he suffered from heart problem again and was rushed to the hospital where he was resuscitated in casualty and taken up for coronary angiography revealing thrombus in Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery. His life was saved by doctors with timely intervention with repeat stenting.

“We also inserted intra aortic balloon pump as a life-saving measure for the patient. He is now recovered and is fit to be discharged,” said Dr Subhash Chandra, Chairman & HOD, Cardiology, BLK Super Speciality Hospital.

Doctors have warned heart patients especially those who have already undergone cardiac procedures to take extra care during winters. Heart patients should not miss their routine medications and protect themselves from the cold weather.
