EHM News Bureau - Mumbai
Medtronic, the world’s leading medical technology company,
has started organising awareness campaign on pacemaker therapy called MY DARE
(Medtronic Young Doctors Awareness and Education). The campaign, which started
on 24 March, 2006, would cover 20 medical colleges across India, targetting
the final year MBBS students.
MY DARE aims at facilitating the diagnosis of brad arrhythmias
and its treatment through pacemakers by creating awareness amongst the physicians
across the country.
The programme would consist of two sessions, namely Syncope
and Brady Arrhythmia Management and Pacemaker therapy for two hours. Courses
would be conducted during alternate weeks of the same month where expert pacemakers’
implanters would be called to speak.
Says Dr Darshan Jhala, Senior Cardiologist, Jaslok Hospital,
“The programme will discuss the causes, the diagnostic plan and treatments
used for Syncope. The programme would also focus on the details of pacemaker
therapy and will provides an overview of implantable device based therapies
for tachycardia and heart failure management.”
