Dr. K R Balakrishnan is the leading Heart Transplant Surgeon in Chennai. His qualifications include MS, M.Ch. Book Appointment Online.
A hospital that can provide your patient with an entirely implantable artificial heart that meets international standards, no matter how old. In a few words, you can describe Fortis Malar. Not all Indian cardiac transplant hospitals have set such an audacious example in the field of heart failure and transplant, as Fortis Malar has for over 20 years.
It is currently rooted in Chennai, led by cardiac experts like Dr K R Balakrishnan, who is Director - Cardiac Sciences, Chief Cardiothoracic & Transplant Surgeon and Dr Suresh Rao K. G. When Fortis launched the Malar heart failure programme, it became India's only End-Step Cardiomyopathy Treatment Center and has since evolved into India's best cardiovascular hospital.
During Dr. K R Balakrishnan and Dr. Rao's administration, Fortis Malar has conducted many successful heart transplants in India, the highest in India today. It has been ranked as the finest in India due to the promising cardiac care that its citizens are no longer obliged to leave the country for cardiac disease treatment. It is known that while every year 100 to 150 organ donors are available in Tamil Nadu state, the cardiac transplant carried out is never greater than 30. According to the claims of some statistics.
Therefore, in Malar with a number of talented and multi-skilled specialists, the goal of the country's biggest heart failure program is to ensure that everyone is able to satisfy his / he need and doesn't miss the opportunity to win a second chance to a lifetime.
More than 2 million cases are reported annually and India has one tenth of the world's total population of people who experience heart failure.
Until then in India, cardiac chirurgies have been limited to revascularization, which is the recovery or increase of heart, heart or cardiac resynchronisation and valve surgery. With many years of experience dealing with severe heart failure conditions, Fortis Malar has brought the latest cardiology technologies to India including artificial cardiovascular implantation and has thus become known both in India and around the world.
Recently, when a heart patient is expecting an appropriate donor to replace his or her damaged heart, an implantable mechanical heart pump provides him or her with a lifetime support. These mechanical pumping systems, also known as the ventricular assistive device or VADs, have found to improve the heart of a patient.
Fortis Malar may therefore also be defined as a destination therapy center for Ventricular Help Device (VAD) making Fortis the best heart transplant hospital in India undeniably for heart failure management and transplant.
It has not only a heart transplant programme, but it is also developing cardiopulmonary insurance measures that include measurement of the peak oxygen consumption, extracorporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and the dissemination of patient nutritional awareness.
Each heart transplant hospital in India has a history that may have been a success, but not like Fortis Malar's one that has done 16 heart transplants, 5 VAD's and 35 ECMOs, and Heartmate II LVAD and HVAD have been successfully implanted in the country for the first time.
