Latest heart op techniques, using AI & robots, discussed at docs' global meet
Chandigarh: Doctors and experts from around the world gathered for the 15th Cardiomersion Global Conference, a three-day annual event, which concluded recently. Held in both Chandigarh, India, and Rome, Italy, the conference brought together more than 100 leading heart specialists to discuss the latest approaches to treating heart diseases. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The conference was a significant opportunity for doctors to share their latest findings and discuss cutting-edge technologies and advanced surgical techniques. The main objective was to find better ways to help patients with heart problems, making treatments more effective and less invasive. Dr Deepak Puri, who leads the Cardiomersion organisation globally, gave two highly anticipated talks. In one, he introduced a new and improved way to perform chest surgeries called uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS). This technique allows doctors to perform complex operations through a tiny, single three-centimetre cut. Dr Puri explained that this new method is almost as clear to see as traditional open surgery, but it means much less pain, lower costs, and faster recovery for patients. Another key speaker, Dr Johannes Bonatti, a heart surgeon from Pittsburgh, US, painted an exciting picture of the future. He described how robots are increasingly being used in heart surgery, not just for simpler procedures like bypasses, but also for more complex operations like replacing heart valves and even heart and lung transplants. He discussed new surgical robots that are more flexible and offer better control, even enabling doctors to perform surgery remotely. Following this vision, Dr Eric J Lehr, another minimally invasive heart surgeon from Seattle, US, discussed how robotics, along with artificial intelligence (AI), will revolutionise heart surgery. He showed how systems like the "da Vinci" robot have made procedures like heart valve repair and bypass surgery more precise and comfortable for patients.

Her presentation highlighted why it's so important for doctors to carefully check a patient's anatomy before surgery to avoid problems and achieve the best results.

Film by cardiologist highlights sudden heart-attack deaths in youngsters
As many as 112 speakers from 25 countries and top cardiologists, cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons and doctors across the country will be part of a three-day 15th annual Cardiomersion Global Conference this week. This year's conference is being held on a hybrid model, with foreign participants gathering in Rome while Indian counterparts will join virtually from Chandigarh to discuss the latest cardiovascular care updates. Cardiomersion was founded in 2011 to spread awareness about the comprehensive management of cardiovascular diseases. Dr Deepak Puri, founder chairman of Cardiomersion and senior director, CTVS at Max Hospital, Mohali, said that the 15th conference will focus on an integrated approach for comprehensive cardiovascular care with insightful sessions, expert discussions, and collaborative exchanges among experts from across the globe held under the theme of 'clinical prospects of drug research and interventions in cardiovascular thoracic disease management to share advancing technologies with advancing clinical and surgical skills.' The conference will also provide a comprehensive platform for the latest advancements and innovations in the management of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), he said. An award-winning short film, 'Rakhiye Dil Ka Khayal Dil Se', written, produced and directed by Dr Deepak Puri and his Cardiomersion team, will also be released on June 6. The film has been awarded the best director award in the Indies Film Festival, and was also shortlisted by WHO in the universal viewing category in 2024 and highlighting sudden heart attack deaths in youngsters. The film motivates viewers to remain physically active and enjoy the health benefits of music and nature, and depicts shows why even apparently healthy and fit youngsters have sudden cardiac arrest and how this can be prevented by early risk factor screening and by adopting a healthy lifestyle. According to Dr Puri, nowadays youngsters blindly follow celebrities who themselves have stressful, unhealthy lifestyles. Many youngsters are falling into the trap of addictions, while most of the youngsters also follow self-medication or unconventional therapies, which have no scientifically proven basis and precious lives are lost. Most of the youngsters are unable to identify the symptoms of a heart attack and lose precious time during which their heart muscles get damaged. The film also celebrates the 100th birth anniversary of film star Dev Anand and his healthy lifestyle, who, says Dr Puri, believed that one should remain physically and mentally active throughout life instead of getting trapped in the web of risk factors that lead to lifestyle diseases like heart attacks, cancers and stroke.
