Heart Transplantation

Heart Transplantation: A surgery to replace the diseased heart with the healthy one!!

Why Heart Transplant?

Heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI)
Viral infection of the heart muscle
High blood pressure
Heart valve disease
Heart defects present at birth (congenital)
Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)
High blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension)
Alcoholism or drug abuse
Chronic lung diseases, such as emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Heart muscle is enlarged, thick, and stiff (cardiomyopathy)
Low red blood cell count (anemia)

Risks!

Infection

Blood clots

Bleeding during and after the surgery

Coronary Allograft Vasculopathy

Kidney Failure

Death

Results!

After heart transplant, five year survival averages about 50%-60%. One year survival averages about 85%-90%.

Its never too late to start eating Healthier foods!

Limit unhealthy fats and daily physical exercise..

A diet rich in saturated fats can drive up total cholesterol and tip the balance toward more harmful LDL cholestrol, which prompts blockages to form in arteries in the heart and elsewhere in the body.

The foods that best protect against heart disease include:

Oily fish, some vegetables oils, fruit and vegetables, fiber, legumes and soy, nuts and seeds, foods containing vitamin E, garlic, and foods enriched with plant sterols.

Submit your Abstracts!!

WCC2019 invites Cardiology professionals, Young researchers, Students, Postdoctoral fellows from around the world to submit abstracts. WCC2019 provide an opportunity to share interdisciplinary perspectives through presenting and attending panel presentations and informally in the encouraging environment.

Participants interested in presenting their abstract at the Congress are invited to submit an abstract for the oral/Posters via the abstract submission system!!

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation may be a quivery, fluttery heartbeat. It suggests that your heart’s traditional rhythm is out of whack as a result of your blood is not moving well, you are additional probably to possess failure. That is once your heart cannot maintain along with your body’s desires. Blood can even pool within your heart and kind clots. If one gets stuck in your brain, you'll have a stroke.

AFib?

When erratic or extra electrical signals throw off the normal timing of the heart's pacemaker, causing the heart to beat faster or just quiver. When the heart quivers instead of contracting rhythmically, blood can pool in the atria, and form blood clots. 

Hyperthyroid-induces atrial fibrillation:
*Atrial fibrillation occurs in 5% to 15% of hyperthyroid cases. 
*Class-I Beta blockers are the preferred rate controlling agents during a hyperthyroid state. 
*Non-dihydropyridine calcium channels blockers can aslo be used if beta blockers are not tolerated. *Propanolol specifically inhibits the conversion of T4 to T3 which is more benefit in hyperthyroidism

Medications

Blood thinners prevent clots and strokes, slow your heart rate, and control your heart rhythm.
