Heart Failure Registry launced at Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre:
Cardiac Care Centre has launched a heart failure registry to monitor partients on a long tern and work out best methods of intervention for better health outcomes. The registry was inagurated by the Chancellor Thiru.V.R.Venkatachalam.
Dr.S.Thanikachalam, Chairman & Director, Cardiac Care Centre, SRMC said that with a steady increase in heart failure cases in India it is necessary to identify and treat early so that irreversible damage is prevented and the patients are given a reasonably good life. The registry will record all heart failure cases reported as outpatients and in the emergency and also treated in the medical centre and the medical college hospital. They will continue to be under treatment under their preferred cardiologist and will be monitored continuously. All diagnostic result s will be centrally recorded and will be available to the treating cardiologists. Any patients with heart failure symptoms anywhere can also register themselves and get treated in the two hospitals. The rich data bank will be used for clinical research, he added.
The registry can be contacted on 044-23860531 (Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm).
