🇵🇰 One year ago today, Peshawar Institute of Cardiology made history by performing Pakistan’s first Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) procedure.

What began as a breakthrough is now changing the lives of patients with heavily calcified coronary disease who once had limited treatment options.

Proud to have been part of a milestone that continues to advance cardiac care in Pakistan.

Innovation. Impact. History.

فالج (Stroke) اب معذوری کی مستقل سزا نہیں — اگر مریض بروقت ہسپتال پہنچ جائے تو جدید علاج سے فالج کے اثرات کو کافی حد تک واپس پلٹایا جا سکتا ہے۔

پاکستان میں Acute Stroke Intervention کو منظم انداز میں متعارف کرانے اور فروغ دینے میں میرے محترم استاد Dr. Asim Javed کا کردار نہایت نمایاں ہے۔ ان کی انتھک محنت، تربیت اور وژن کی بدولت آج یہ سہولت پنجاب کے متعدد مراکز میں دستیاب ہے، جبکہ خیبر پختونخوا میں PIC, HMC اور LRH میں بھی یہ علاج میسر ہے۔
انہوں نے RIC Rawalpindi سمیت ملک کے مختلف مراکز میں ٹیمیں تربیت دے کر پاکستان بھر میں اس سہولت کے فروغ میں کلیدی کردار ادا کیا۔

یہ مختصر مگر نہایت اہم آگاہی ویڈیو فالج کی علامات، بروقت پہچان، اور ایسے جدید علاج کے بارے میں ہے جو نہ صرف جان بچا سکتا ہے بلکہ معذوری کو بھی کم یا واپس پلٹانے کا سبب بن سکتا ہے۔

براہِ کرم یہ ویڈیو ضرور دیکھیں اور زیادہ سے زیادہ لوگوں تک پہنچائیں۔
یہ پیغام کسی کی جان بچا سکتا ہے، کسی مریض کو دوبارہ چلنے، بولنے اور جینے کا موقع دے سکتا ہے۔

اسے اپنے لیے صدقۂ جاریہ سمجھ کر ضرور شیئر کریں۔

Stroke is no longer a permanent sentence to disability — if a patient reaches the hospital in time, modern stroke treatment can significantly reverse its effects.

My mentor, Dr. Asim Javed, has played a pioneering role in developing and expanding Acute Stroke Intervention in Pakistan. Through his vision, training, and relentless efforts, this life-saving treatment is now available in multiple centers across Punjab, and in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at PIC, HMC, and LRH.
By training teams at RIC Rawalpindi and several other institutions, he has helped build and expand stroke intervention services across Pakistan.

This short but extremely important awareness video highlights the warning signs of stroke, the importance of early recognition, and modern treatments that can save lives and reverse disability.

Please watch this video and share it widely.
This message may save a life, prevent lifelong disability, and give someone the chance to walk, speak, and live independently again.

Share it forward as a Sadaqah Jariyah.

NOBLE 10-year data at confirm that IVUS-guided PCI achieves long-term mortality nearly identical to CABG, while angiography-only PCI lags behind. With lower TLR (5% vs 12%) and optimal stent expansion, IVUS defines the future of precision PCI.

Presented and organised the Monthly Grand Round at the Peshawar Institute of Cardiology on the five-year results of the FAME 3 trial, which compares FFR-guided stenting with the bypass surgery and highlighting how physiology-guided PCI is improving long-term outcomes in multivessel coronary disease compared to bypass/CABG.
