Preventing Heart Attacks Using Advanced Cardiac Imaging

Ang imaging-based primary treatment ng atake sa puso ay nakatuon sa paggamit ng advanced imaging technologies para mabilis at tumpak na suriin ang mga naka-block na coronary arteries sa panahon ng acute cardiac emergency. Mga pamamaraan tulad ng coronary angiography, cardiac CT, at iba pang imaging tools ang tumutulong sa mga doktor na matukoy ang eksaktong lokasyon at severity ng bara, na nagbibigay-daan sa mabilis at tumpak na pagdedesisyon. Ang maagang imaging ay may mahalagang papel sa pagkumpirma ng atake sa puso at pag-gabay sa agarang interbensyon.
Ang diskarteng ito ay nakakatulong sa pagpapabuti ng kalalabasan ng pasyente sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahintulot sa napapanahong mga pamamaraan tulad ng primary angioplasty o paglalagay ng stent para maibalik ang daloy ng dugo sa puso. Ang imaging-guided care ay binabawasan ang mga komplikasyon, pinoprotektahan ang kalamnan ng puso, at pinapataas ang survival rates. Sa video na ito, ipinapaliwanag natin kung paano ginagamit ang imaging sa maagang pamamahala ng atake sa puso at bakit kritikal ang mabilis at image-based na paggamot sa pagliligtas ng buhay at pagpapabuti ng recovery.

Namaste. I'm Dr. Vijay Kumar Subban, Senior Interventional Cardiologist at the Apollo Mine Hospitals, Chennai. We'll be talking about imaging-based primary prevention of heart attacks. We all know heart attack is a deadly illness and we all like to prevent that from happening for us. So traditionally, we practice this prevention, that means giving medications for cholesterol and aspirin. based on an approach called risk factor based approach. We use our age, gender, diabetes, melitis, hypertension, smoking, obesity, family history, these type of risk factors for allocating our treatment for prevention of heart attack. However, we come across patients with multiple risk factors. They never experienced heart attack in their lifetime. In contrast, One third of the patients with absolutely normal risk factor profile still end up having heart attack. And to prevent this and not to miss those are high risk for having heart attack, they're currently introduced an approach called imaging based approach to primary prevention. So like what we do for cancer treatment, where we see early breast cancer by mammography or early colon cancer by colonoscopy. We see early cholesterol deposits in the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and the peripheral arteries by using imaging. We use ultrasound imaging for imaging our brain and peripheral blood vessels and cardiac CT for imaging our cardiac blood vessels. By this way, we identify early deposits of cholesterol in these areas. And if there is no deposit, the chance of you having heart attack is very low. In case you have deposits, your risk increases with the amount of deposits you have. So more the deposits, more the risk of heart attack, and you end up taking maximum preventive medications. So by using this approach, the chance of over treating somebody who is at low risk and under treating someone who is at high risk can be totally avoided. And this should be the way to go in the evaluation and treatment of primary prevention of your heart attacks.
