Jan 14, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #Cardiologist, #Director of Shushrusha Heart Care and Multispeciality Hospital, #Dr.Sanjay Tarlekar, #Nerul, #Pulmonologist from Apex group of Hospitals from Borivali Dr. Jignesh Patel, #World Health Organization

Mumbai: The air quality in Mumbai city and suburbs as well as Thane and Navi Mumbai has reached a critical level, making it dangerous for patients with respiratory and heart ailments in the city, according to medical sources. The low-pressure area in the Arabian Sea has been experiencing unseasonal rains & extreme heat for the past one week, with five of the eight air quality monitoring centres reported to be extremely polluted, according to Safar. Air pollution is the first blow to the human respiratory system. Lung cancer is caused by unclean air entering the body through inhalation, which can lead to various types of heart disease. Heart disease, which has remained the leading cause of death at the global level for the last 20 years, is now killing more people than ever before, according to the World Health Organization. People living in a polluted environment suffer from relatively frequent heart attacks. Giving more information about this, Director of Shushrusha Heart Care and Multispeciality Hospital in Nerul and Cardiologist Dr.Sanjay Tarlekar said, ” Though the relentless spread of coronavirus around the globe has grabbed everyone’s attention, people with heart disease need to be extra attentive as they have a greater risk of developing COVID-19. Coronavirus affects the respiratory system, mainly the lungs. But it could also influence the heart, especially a diseased heart that has already been struggling to get the oxygenated blood throughout the body. So, heart patients need to take additional, reasonable precautions in such climate.The population of cities in India has crossed a threshold and air pollution is increasing in major cities of our country, mainly in Mumbai and Delhi, but we do not have the severity of the diseases caused by air pollution. They cause Inflammation of the lungs and, more importantly, damage to the blood vessels and the heart. Pollutants such as ultrafine, which are excreted in the air, interfere with the blood flow in the arteries. High blood pressure is a common cause of high blood pressure in Germany, according to research in Germany. This type of blood pressure is more common in women than men. Increased blood pressure initiates atherosclerosis, which causes the blood vessels to harden. Further, it has the opposite effect of exacerbating heart disease. Citizens with heart disease need to stay away from polluted air so that it does not get worse.”

Giving more information about air pollution as well as indoor pollution is causing respiratory disorders, Pulmonologist from Apex group of Hospitals from Borivali Dr. Jignesh Patel says, “Contamination caused by indoor sprays, perfumes, mosquito-borne incense sticks as well as coils directly affects children’s lungs. Air is the foundation of life. Clean air is essential for staying healthy. Changes in the structure of the air have become a serious threat to health. Pollution is the most dangerous aspect in India and we are lagging behind other countries in the fight against pollution. In 2019, 1.7 million people were killed in air pollution in India and the only thing we can do is stop air pollution for six months during the Corona transition.”

Second wave of corona coming in winter is dangerous for heart patients in India

Nov 11, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #Apex Hospital Mulund, #Dr. Mayur Jain, #Dr.Sanjay Tarlekar, #heart patients, #Second wave of corona

Corona crisis is not over; many countries have been infected with the coronavirus, and are still fighting with the coronavirus but now fear a second wave of infection all over the world. Corona is coming under control in Maharashtra, but it will not go unnoticed. Medical experts have claimed that the number of corona patients will increase again after Diwali and winter cold intensifies. If there is a second wave, it will be more dangerous for heart patient in India because, in a major study, researchers from across the globe have found that Covid -19 patients with cardiovascular comorbidities or risk factors are more likely to develop heart complications while hospitalised and more likely to die from coronavirus.

Giving more information about this, Director of Shushrusha Heart Care and Multispeciality Hospital in Nerul and Cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Tarlekar said, “Winter is considered to be the season of cold and fever. Even after the corona infection, there is fever and chills, so there will be a bit of confusion among the citizens. Therefore, citizens need to take special care in winter. The World Health Organization (WHO) is predicting a second wave of corona and heart disease in winter.

As I like to appeal to citizens in India, especially people who are staying in a strong winter zone please avoid alcohol and smoking which causes irregular heartbeat, dizziness or chest pain. Wear warm clothing to keep warm when the cold is strong. People with heart disease or high blood pressure should avoid excessive physical activity in winter. Citizens who have had heart surgery or citizens who have heart Problems make sure that the heart is healthy by doing all the necessary heart checkups. It is also important to control blood sugar and cholesterol in winter. Eat less salt in your diet during this season. Eating too much salt is also bad for your heart health. ”

Commenting on the prediction of the second wave of CoronaVirus Dr. Mayur Jain, Senior Interventional Cardiologist from Apex Hospital Mulund said, “No medical conclusions have been drawn as to what the virus will look like in the cold across the country. This is the first winter since the Corona epidemic hit India. Public transport is closed during the monsoons, which reduces the number of commuters, but now the situation has changed. All the main markets and vegetable markets have started in Maharashtra and the corona epidemic should not be under the illusion of the past. Patients with high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease are urged to take special care. Wearing a face mask while going out for Diwali shopping, keeping a proper distance between two persons and it is also important to wash your hands when you come home from outside.”

Not only physical distance but Keep safe distance from social media news in corona Pandemic says doctors in Mumbai

Sep 23, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #Apex Group of Hospitals, #Dr. Pratik Surandashe, #Dr.Sanjay Tarlekar, #physical distance, #social media news

Mumbai The news of the global wreckage caused by Coronavirus is getting grimmer every day. One can’t help but feel helpless. The treatment options are mainly supportive and there is no vaccine so far. Amongst the many nuisances of social media, fake news about cures, COVID being a hoax, and testing for COVID being a scam has been the worst. Giving more information on this Dr. Pratik Surandashe, MD Psychiatry, Consultant Psychiatrist, Apex Group of Hospitals, Borivali, said,” Pandemics have always been a trigger for anxiety and panic. The fear of contracting the illness or losing a loved one to the illness is ever-present. People with mental health issues may become more vulnerable to develop anxiety. In this pandemic situation, the public needs to more closely scrutinize and be much more skeptical about what they’re reading and hearing, particularly on social media. Easily access to social media has made it easier to spread or even create COVID -19 false stories compare to reach true events & news with the public. To make things worse, symptoms of a few anxiety disorders coincide with respiratory illness. These are feeling of tightness in the chest, breathlessness, and a sense of impending doom characteristically seen in panic disorder. To safeguard one’s mental health I would suggest some measures like believe only in information from authentic sources like CDC or WHO or your doctor, Talk and seek help about anxiety and depression from a qualified mental health professional only. Refrain from forwarding any information from dubious sources.

We used to say in every season or any pandemic heart patient always suffer and feel insecure in
this period, commenting on precaution for heart patients in corona pandemic Dr.Sanjay Tarlekar Senior Heart surgeon & Director of Shushrusha Heart Care & Multispecialty Hospital Said, “Though the unremitting stretch of coronavirus around the globe has grabbed everyone’s attention, people with heart disease need to be extra attentive as they have a greater threat of developing COVID-19. Coronavirus affects the respiratory system, mainly the lungs. But it could also affect the heart, especially a diseased heart that has already been struggling to get the oxygenated blood throughout the body. So, heart patients need to take additional, reasonable precautions in order to cut down their
risk. Heart patients need to keep away from false news or fake news because it develops nervousness and fear among them. Many studies have linked heart disease and depression, but heart problems may also go hand in hand with anxiety. Several studies have shown that about a quarter of people with cardiovascular disease have some kind of anxiety problem and, in some cases, the anxiety seems to make the heart condition worse.”
