Heart Failure refers to the heart’s inability to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs and is often misunderstood by masses. A heart in Heart Failure doesn’t suddenly stop working, instead, Heart Failure develops slowly as the heart muscle gradually weakens over time. Recent medical studies and research have also shown the impact of Covid-19 on heart patients, who have proven to be amongst the most vulnerable patient groups in the pandemic.
Elaborating on the risks of Heart Failure, Dr Das says, “Many times due to delayed diagnosis, the patient reaches the hospital when there has already been considerable damage to the heart muscles. Today, advanced medical technologies and medical science have enabled better cardiac care and treatment for patients at risk of Heart Failure”
