It was good to be part of the lead faculty at PRISM-PCI Conclave, hosted by Meril at Vapi, from 16-18 January. The forum brought together experienced minds committed to advancing outcomes of PCI in patients with complex coronary artery disease through evidence-based practice and case-based discussion.
It was great to interact with the thought leaders in interventional cardiology from India and abroad and also to deliver a keynote lecture on development and progress of Interventional Cardiology in India “India’s Journey in PCI: From Pioneering Adoption to Global Leadership”, an arena which I have been privileged to contribute to immensely over last more than 38 years.

The use of ‘Anti-obesity medicines’(casually called ‘weight loss drugs') has become widespread and unsupervised. These “metabolism-modifying medicines” meant for Obese diabetics are now being randomly used for ‘cosmetic’ purposes and could also cause harm unless supervised by doctors/endocrinologists. The public needs to realise that they are not a ‘harmless quick fix’ for looking good, but are known to cause adverse complications. On the other hand, in medically indicated patients, along with lifestyle modification, they can be very beneficial. There should be no stigma around being overweight, and this should not fuel unnecessary ‘quick fixes of weight loss’. These GLP-1 agonists are medicines meant for morbid obesity, causing ‘health complications’.

Air pollution is not just a winter season headline, we breathe severely polluted air 365 days a year. The AQI at its best is in the unhealthy range, and usually in the hazardous range. Air pollution has become one of the most important causes of death in recent from lung problems, heart diseases, strokes, and is affecting all age groups, including children. We, Padma Awardee doctors, have raised our concern on this issue to be considered as a national emergency and have urged all stakeholders, policy makers and the public to make this the top agenda and create a roadmap to improve the air quality we breathe. It may take some time, but positive and unified action is needed urgently. It is every citizen's right to breathe clean air.

We see disturbing videos of young individuals collapsing suddenly and dying from cardiac arrest! what hurts even more is that instead of looking on, that life could have been saved by any bystander!! It is important for all and especially relatives of patients with heart disease to SEE THIS VIDEO and other videos and learn basic life support. Please note, mouth to mouth respiration is not required, only keep neck extended to maintain airway. What is most required is chest bone compression by 2 inches to maintain blood circulation. Do not worry about hurting the person, he is unconscious and you have to be effective to SAVE A LIFE and it is our responsibility to do so🙏🏼

Obesity is no longer just a lifestyle concern. It is now one of the most important causes of heart disease in India.Being over weight changes the body’s internal signals of the hormones that are supposed to control hunger, fullness and metabolism and they start working against us. This makes it harder to stop overeating and easier to develop high BP, diabetes and cholesterol that damage the heart over time.

Much of this problem also comes from everyday habits that feel normal: excess oil in home cooking, sugar-heavy beverages, refined carbs, salty snacks and a lack of regular exercise.

In my latest article, I explain the above and what simple, realistic steps can help protect long-term heart health. Small changes made today can prevent serious disease tomorrow.

We are dependent on refined carbs, have too much salt and sugar

Sunday, 23rd November was a moment of deep honour for me.

I was invited to speak at Lallantop Adda 2025, a platform where some of India’s most influential voices come together to spark meaningful conversations across politics, sports, entertainment and health.

During my live session on heart health, I had the opportunity to share insights that I believe go far beyond medicine. My goal was to touch lives, inspire change and reinforce a simple truth that wellness must be a national priority.

Lallantop Adda has quickly become one of the most impactful shows of 2025, known for its bold discussions and powerful line-up. I am grateful to have contributed my perspective to this vibrant and engaging space.
