Manipal : Kasturba Medical College and Philips Healthcare announced the launch of Karnataka’s first set of ‘Chest Pain Clinics’ in Manipal. These clinics will enable small hospitals and nursing homes in and around Manipal to provide timely and quality emergency cardiac care to citizens and save more lives. While cardiovascular diseases have quadrupled in the last 40 years, it’s a known fact that 50% of the affected patients arrive too late for appropriate treatment. If the patient receives treatment within one hour of the attack, called ‘the golden hour’, the possibilities of saving his/her life increase manifold, said Dr. Ranjan Shetty, Cardiologist of KMC, Manipal during press conference at Manipal University campus on Wednesday, 28th October, 2015.

 

He said chest pain clinics will be operated under the ‘hub and spoke’ model and will include five ‘spoke’ hospitals and one hub hospital KMC. Each Cest Pain Clinic will be a small healthcare facility equipped with Philips EfficiaECG-100 systems to wirelessly transmit ECG reports of patients in real time from the spikes to hup (JMC). Once a patient is confirmed as suffering from a Myocardial infarction, known as a Heart Attack, he/she is immediately transported via an ambulance from the Chest Pain Clinic to KMC, for primary Percutaneous Coronary  Intervention (PCI) within the golden hour.
