- Arnab Dutta Advances in diagnostic imaging such as PET-CT scanning have provided clear insights into coronary artery diseases. I have seen how early detection through advanced imaging has prevented many heart attacks in high-risk patients. AI-enhanced imaging will soon help doctors diagnose heart conditions with even greater accuracy while reducing human error.
- Abhaynath Chaturvedi: Cardiovascular treatment has evolved dramatically over the past 20 years, including minimally invasive surgery, advanced stenting, and robot-assisted procedures replacing traditional open-heart surgery. These innovations have reduced recovery time and increased survival rates. Imaging advances such as 3D echocardiogram and cardiac MRI have also improved diagnostic accuracy. My journey in cardiology over the last two decades has been extremely rewarding. I have seen the field change from reactive treatments to more personalized and preventive approaches. Each breakthrough, whether in devices or procedures, has enhanced patient outcomes and reshaped our approach to heart health. Looking ahead, I believe the future of cardiology lies in precision medicine and AI-powered diagnostics. early detection and
preventive care Growth will continue, supported by technologies that make treatment more personalized and accessible. There is immense potential to reduce heart disease and enhance patient care globally over the next 20 years
- Abhaynath Chaturvedi: Cardiac surgery has been transformed by the development of new surgical instruments and techniques, which have improved accuracy. In my experience, minimally invasive robotic surgery is becoming the standard for many complex procedures. I believe that robotic surgery will only improve, reducing the chances of error and helping patients recover faster with fewer complications.
- Dr. Mainak Mukhopadhyay: The incidence of heart failure is increasing day by day. Early diagnosis and appropriate guideline-directed medications, including ARNI, not only improve quality of life with reduced mortality but can also reverse heart failure. To prevent sudden cardiac death in selected refractory cases, an ICD device is recommended and a CRT device may also be helpful in improving the ejection fraction of the heart. With modern medications and operative interventions most heart failure patients can live a good quality life for a long time.
- Dr. Bijay Prakash Pandey: Advances in technology have revolutionized cardiac care. Minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty and robotic surgery have replaced open-heart surgery, speeding up recovery. Innovations such as stents, pacemakers, and defibrillators, along with accurate imaging, have saved countless lives. As a cardiologist, I have seen the impact of these breakthroughs, from life-saving interventions to personalized care. The shift toward prevention has been transformative. Looking ahead, cardiology will increasingly focus more on precision medicine, AI-powered diagnostics, and early detection and prevention, making heart care more efficient and accessible.
- Dr. Naseem Mondal: Cardiovascular treatments have become more rapid, minimally invasive and precise, empowering individuals to live longer, healthier lives with fewer complications. Through open and empathetic communication, I strive to build strong relationships with my patients, helping them feel supported during difficult moments. Regular checkups are essential, as they enable doctors to tailor treatment and detect potential problems early.
- Dr. Dipankar Ghosh Dattidar: Put ‘self-care’ at the top of your health list to protect your heart. Investing in your heart health reduces your risk of heart disease, and it’s never too early or too late to start. Every positive choice paves the way to a healthy heart. Start your journey today with small, deliberate steps. Take care of your well-being, and your heart will thank you. With good intentions and thoughtful decisions, you’ll be on your way to a stronger, healthier heart.
- Kaushik Paul: We have seen a huge reduction in heart attack deaths due to improvements in acute care treatment. Emergency heart care has become faster and more effective, with better survival rates than two decades ago. I believe that wearable technology will soon become essential for continuous heart monitoring.
- Nadeem Afroz: Heart treatments have become more efficient, less invasive and more precise, allowing individuals to enjoy longer, healthier lives with fewer complications. Through open and empathetic communication, I strive to build strong relationships with patients, ensuring they feel supported during challenging times.
- Anurag Gupta Increase in the number of specialized cardiac care centres, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, thereby reducing dependence on metropolitan hospitals. This has made advanced heart treatment more accessible to people in rural and semi-urban areas. Mobile health clinics and telecardiology services will help bridge the gap by bringing diagnostic and treatment services to remote areas.
- Arindam Basu: We have seen incredible advancements in stents, heart transplants and robotic surgery over the last few years. In the early 2000s, I watched as the rise of drug-eluting stents changed the game for coronary artery disease. The future lies in early detection and wearable devices.
it world heart dayIt is important to celebrate the significant advances made in cardiovascular care in India over the past decades. Innovations such as robot-assisted surgery and improved treatments have saved countless lives and increased the quality of health care.
