10/10/2025

Had a heart attack? That doesn't mean surgery is off the table.
In this week's Friday Pulse series, Dr. Dhiren Shah addresses a common fear among heart patients that their heart is too weak for surgery after a heart attack.

He reassures that with the right expertise, advanced technology, and infrastructure at MCIMS Hospital, such surgeries can be performed safely and effectively.

Don't let fear hold you back timely treatment saves lives.

Why Diabetes Quietly Damages Your Heart
Diabetes is not just a sugar problem—it's a blood vessel disease.
High blood sugar damages the inner walls of your arteries.
Damaged arteries attract cholesterol and plaque buildup.
Over time, arteries narrow, stiffen, and lose flexibility.
This restricts blood flow to your heart muscle.
In short, diabetes silently sets you up for a heart attack, heart failure, and sudden death.

How Serious Is the Risk?
If you have diabetes, your risk of heart disease is 2 to 4 times higher than someone without diabetes.
Diabetics often develop heart disease 10 to 15 years earlier than non-diabetics.

Doctors often say:“A diabetic patient is already a cardiac patient—whether symptoms are visible or not.”
