Hyderabad, Mar 9 (Maxim News): Indian Medical Association (IMA) Telangana expressed concern at increasing instances of sudden deaths and urged people to adopt preventive cardiac behavior.
In a press statement, the IMa said there were two kinds of sudden cardiac deaths. At first, sudden deaths follow acute heart attacks, which happen in slightly older sub-group and in those with traditional coronary risk factors. The second, sudden deaths are due to causes other than heart attack, rare instances in previously healthy individuals without any coronary risk factors. Typically, the patients do not have heart attacks before they succumb to cardiac arrest.
While the first group is amenable to detection by traditional preventive cardiac tests like ECG, ECHO, and TMT, the second group needs different detection algorithms like long-term ECG monitoring, electrophysiological testing and genetic testing.
The press statement issued by Dr. B.N.Rao, State President, IMa Telangana State, urged the government to hasten the CPR training sessions as started by the health Minister T. Harish Rao, with a goal to empower at least 50 percent of the adult population with this skill by the end of 2024.
Apart from installing public access defibrillators, the IMa suggested CPR as the curriculum in higher secondary school education, gathering data about sudden cardiac arrests and keeping the same in the public domain for constructive discussion and understanding.
the IMa urged the government to allocate funds for research into the reasons regarding these deaths, especially in the young, and also suggested sudden Death Investigation Committees to probe into each sudden death to reduce panic due to the perceived causes of sudden deaths.
