About Our Practice:
Best services and support for all your health needs is our foremost aim at Sawhney Heart Centre and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.. Sawhney Heart Centre and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital are the most modem clinics located in New Delhi, providing state of the art medical facilities and health service with a human touch. Cardiovascular diseases are the commonest cause of death globally. During last 20 years a large decline in mortality from CVD has been observed in developed nation but a substantial increase has been experienced by developing nation like India. It is estimated that India has largest burden of Cardio Vascular Disease in the world more so in younger population. The increasing evidence of heart attacks in younger population resulting is increase cost of evaluation and treatment (PTCA & Bypass surgery) & loss of working days – will affect the family, society & nation as a whole. In other words medical and economic consequences will be substantial for our country. An understanding of the risk factors causing premature CVD will be essential to develop strategies for prevention of Heart attacks & its epidemic in future. Prevention is always better than cure. It is true for our country which is passing through a developing phase. We cannot afford to have expensive treatment like Ballooning (PTCA) and Bypass surgery .Rather we should try to delay the onset of disease. We all should adopt healthy life style so that we can prevent the occurrence of risk factors (primordial prevention). These risk factors should be effectively treated to prevent onset of heart disease (primary prevention) those who are suffering heart disease should prevent the recurrence of heart attack (secondary prevention). Population based societal changes aiming at lowering the risk factors through life style modification will be a key factor. This approach is simple, affordable and effective but population needs to be educated by health care providers. Sawhney Heart Centre:
