A cardiac care revolution is currently unfolding at the Caribbean Heart Institute (CHI). Spearheading this revolution is Resident Cardiologist, Dr. Mahendra Carpen, who recently spoke of plans to soon introduce yet another cardiac procedure that is arguably new to Guyana.Just over a week ago he conducted what is believed to be the country’s first implantable loop device, to help discern the way forward in treating one of his patients believed to be suffering from a heart rhythm disorder.But according to Dr. Carpen,Cheap NFL Wholesale Jerseys, “At long last I believe that we will be able to do even more.” He was at the time alluding to plans to introduce at CHI, the catheter based radiofrequency ablation. This non-surgical procedure can address arrhythmia or disturbances in the heart rhythm.With the radiofrequency ablation, CHI,Jerseys From China, according to Dr. Carpen, will even be able to tackle conditions including Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome, among a few others. Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome is said to be one of several disorders of the electrical system of the heart that are commonly referred to as pre-excitation syndromes.“All of these things will be treated at CHI by catheter based ablation. We are finally in a position where we can offer this type of service in the very near future,” said Dr. Carpen. And by the very near future, Dr. Carpen means, before year end.In an earlier interview he had spoken of radiofrequency ablation being a procedure that is not done on a wide scale in the Caribbean.? This was in fact brought to his attention when he attended the 28th Caribbean Cardiac Society Scientific Conference in Cura?ao in 2013.At that forum he delivered presentations on the ‘State of Cardiology in Guyana’.? But according to Dr. Carpen, the issue of arrhythmia was not discussed very much at the forum as a challenge in the Caribbean. In fact, he disclosed that the only presentation on the condition was made by a representative from the Dominican Republic.“Nothing came out of the English-speaking Caribbean, and that is not surprising,Wholesale NBA Jerseys, because there is only one other place in the Caribbean that I know of that does any work in radiofrequency ablations for arrhythmias,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, and that is Trinidad.”According to the Cardiologist, while the condition is known to happen mainly in young women, there are many patients who have complaints relating to their “heart racing and palpitation that occurs from time to time.” Although there are medicines that can address the condition, Dr. Carpen said that there could be some side-effects, thus the need for radiofrequency ablations.It was against this background that he decided to work towards offering the procedure at CHI.Once introduced, the procedure will be one of several that CHI has introduced since its introduction in 2007, which embraces the fact that “there are lots of interesting things happening regionally in the world of cardiology,” said Dr. Carpen.“Just from talking to some of the more experienced people around the Region, I was able to learn that some of the challenges that we face now, were the same challenges that they faced when they started out with their programmes. However, the general message has always been to persevere and press on and we will get there.”“I think we are moving a little bit faster than the general trend has been, but there are a lot more tools; a lot more guidance available now that facilitates more rapid advancement,Cheap Jerseys From China,” he asserted.
