Nagpur: A 67-year-old woman who was patient from Amravati with a very weak heart accepted the Indian Bluetooth capable pacemaker called a heart synchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) in the city last week.
With this, the woman will now get real-time updates about her heart condition on her cellphone in personalized applications.
The doctor will also warn about every change in his condition.
Real-time information will also be documented on the digital platform by device makers.
Kingsway Hospital is the first to instill this modern device which is now popular in foreign countries and in several major hospitals in India.
Cardiologist Dr.
Shailendra Ganjewar and his team from Kingsway conducted this operation along with Dr.
Ashish Nabar, a cardiologist intervention and electrophysiologist from Mumbai.
CRT-D technology allows patient distance monitoring, which has been shown to result in a higher survival rate throughout the world.
Dr.
Shailendra Ganjewar tells the TOI that the device is a blessing, especially for Nagpur that has emerged to be the center of Indian Health Center.
“In Nagpur, we serve patients from a circle of 600-800 km which spread in more than four countries.
After placing this sophisticated device, the patient does not need to come to Nagpur and visit the hospital because the doctor will get real-time reports about their liver function, “He said.
Doctors use devices produced by US medical device companies Abbott Laboratories.
“After this operation, we locally embed another version of a similar device in a 52-year-old man from Bhandara.
Our team is now able to carry out a similar operation in Nagpur which is a good addition to the city health scene,” Dr.
Ganjewar added.
In accordance with the available documentation, India’s first Bluetooth capable pacemaker was implanted in September last year.
This technology has reached Nagpur and patients benefit in 15 months.
“The patients from Vidarbha had to travel to Mumbai, Hyderabad, or Chennai for further care.
But the last ten years have changed the scenario.
Doctors are doing a lot of complicated operations in Nagpur,” said Cardiology Dr.
Amey Bidkar.
Both patients who have a bluetooth pacemaker that is implanted is fine, confirming the doctors from Kingsway Hospital.
