Testimonial by Mr. Raju Chopade

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a condition resulting from a sudden reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle, often caused by the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque within a coronary artery. This blockage can cause myocardial ischemia and potentially infarction. The primary cause is the accumulation of cholesterol and other substances within the artery walls, forming plaques that narrow the arteries and become unstable. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves a detailed medical history and physical examination, electrocardiograms (ECGs), blood tests, and coronary angiography. Some individuals may present with atypical symptoms or no chest pain at all.

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a condition that requires immediate treatment to restore blood flow to the heart muscle and prevent further damage. This often involves medications to reduce the heart’s workload and improve long-term outcomes. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also known as angioplasty with stent placement, is a common surgical approach. In severe or multiple blockages, or when PCI is not feasible, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery may be necessary. The choice between PCI and CABG depends on factors such as the extent and location of the blockages, the patient’s overall health, and the urgency of the situation.

Mr. Raju Chopade from Adilabad successfully underwent surgery for Acute Coronary Syndrome at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Pankaj Vinod Jariwala, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, and Dr. Kale Satya Sridhar, Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon.
