Dr. PurshotamLal led Metro Hospital and Heart Institute: A ray of hope for cardiac patients

New Delhi, January 22, 2020: Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to heart and blood vessels.Due to a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits and extreme pollution, the number of heart and respiratory diseases is ever increasing, especially in the cities. To tackle the same, Metro Hospital and Heart Institute is credited with a robust cardiology department housing a dedicated team of skilled cardiologists, ensuring the best treatment to cardiac patients.

It is one of the top hospitals in Delhi-NCR that offers an all-inclusive heart check-up package covering blood tests, ECHO (Echocardiography), TMT (Treadmill Test), etc, along with lifestyle management facilities. Each department of Cardiology —Preventive Cardiology, Interventional Cardiology, Vascular Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Electric-physiology,is looked after by a team of specialists, harnessing advanced tools and equipment. The team ensuresaccurate assessment of patient’s cardiac condition and excellent clinical results. It also boasts of well-trained technicians and nurses for treating the patients with maximum care.

The hospital values the health and well-being of its patients above everything and firmly believes that ‘Prevention is better than cure’. Even a mere 30 percent of blockage in artery can lead to a heart attack.However, the heart check-up offered by most healthcare service providers only includes blood tests, ECHO and TMT, which are unable to detect the same. On that note, Metro Hospital and Heart Institute, led by Dr.PurshotamLal offers wide-ranging diagnostic, preventive and treatment methods to deal with all kind of cardiovascular diseases.

The hospital is among the few heart centres in India to have an EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) machine which is a safe, outpatient treatment method especially for the older patients to open blockages in their arteries and blood vessels. It is also one of the pioneers in introducing various interventional techniques in India. Additionally, the cardiac surgeons in Metro hospital have played a pioneering role in conducting a large number of complex surgeries.
