"Advanced stage heart failure disease continues to be a health crisis in India, with a one-year mortality rate reaching up to 23.7% for some major causes. Analysis of 10,845 heart failure patients showed that diseases leading to end-stage heart disease, such as ischemic heart disease, contribute to a 21.1% one-year mortality, while dilated cardiomyopathy contributes to a 23.7% one-year mortality, and rheumatic heart disease is the third leading cause.

In light of these significant mortality figures and the diverse origins of heart failure, advanced surgical heart failure therapies provide crucial life-saving options for patients with severe cardiac dysfunction, significantly improving survival rates and restoring quality of life through precision-driven care.

Our clinic will specifically address these critical needs by focusing on Mechanical Circulatory Support (LVAD, RVAD, BiVAD, ECMO), Heart and Lung Transplantation, and High-Risk and Re-do Cardiac Surgeries, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients facing these challenging conditions", said Dr. Anil Bhan, chairman, cardiac surgery, heart transplant, cardiac care, Medanta, Gurugram.
