Four complex heart procedures performed without a single cut all-in-one day
In what cardiologists are calling a major step forward for congenital heart disease management in India, four patients underwent Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement (TPVR) procedures on July 3rd at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, without requiring open-heart surgery. TPVR is a minimally invasive technique that replaces a damaged heart valve using a thin, flexible tube (catheter) inserted through a blood vessel, avoiding the need to open the chest patients, all of whom had undergone surgery during childhood for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a birth-related heart condition that affects normal blood flow through the heart, had returned years later with complications from a leaking pulmonary valve. This kind of leakage is a known long-term consequence of the initial repair. Traditionally, such cases would require another round of open-heart surgery, which comes with significant risks and extended the cardiology team carried out the TPVR procedures using the Harmony Valve system, a new-generation valve made of biological tissue and mounted on a metal frame. As a result of this treatment, the four patients: a 37-year-old from Delhi, a 17-year-old from Noida, a 14-year-old from Gurgaon, and a 15-year-old from Noida, were each discharged within 48 hours of the procedure, a significant reduction from the usual 10-12 day hospital stay. "Globally, nearly 40% of patients who undergo childhood repair for Tetralogy of Fallot will require a pulmonary valve replacement within three decades." said Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, Head & Professor, Paediatric Cardiology and Adult Congenital Heart Disease,'In India, the vast majority of these reinterventions are still managed through conventional surgery. Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement (TPVR) offers a less invasive, faster alternative with a global success rate exceeding 95%, yet its uptake in India remains under 10%. This is largely due to issues of cost, access, and the fact that most clinical protocols here still prioritise surgical options.'Dr. Sushil Azad, Deputy Head & Principal Consultant, Paediatric Cardiology added, 'The TVPR procedure is particularly valuable for patients with prior multiple open-heart procedures or high surgical risk. In a country like India, where an estimated 200,000 children are born each year with congenital heart disease and access to timely surgical care remains limited, broader adoption of TPVR could be transformative. Integrating TPVR into standard CHD care pathways can help us deliver safer, faster, and more sustainable treatment to thousands who currently face delayed or repeated high-risk surgeries.'A multidisciplinary team of 5 interventional and pediatric cardiologists including Dr. Ankit Garg, Consultant, Interventional Cardiology; Dr. Savita Krishnamurthy Guin, Assistant Professor, Paediatric Cardiology; and Dr. Shashikapoor Dubbar Yadav, Assistant Professor, Paediatric Cardiology were involved in the successful procedures, with each lasting roughly 60 to 90 Hospital is currently the only centre in India independently authorised to perform the Harmony Valve implantation without international Hospitals is a leading multi-specialty healthcare institution committed to delivering world-class medical care with compassion and innovation. Established in 1998 under the visionary guidance of Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma), Amrita Hospitals operates with the core philosophy that healthcare should be accessible to all, regardless of socio-economic background.- Ends

BUS: Turning gratitude into a movement of music
Key Information Name: BUS (Because of You I Shine) Members: 12 Formed: 2023 via "789 SURVIVAL" show Debut: Dec 6, 2023 Fandom name: BEUS (Be with BUS) Origin: Thailand Instagram: @ From survival to stardom BUS was formed from a small survival show called '789 SURVIVAL' under the management of SONRAY MUSIC. The show featured 24 trainees with plans to debut seven, eight or nine finalists. Initially introduced as 789 DEBUT GROUP, the group officially rebranded as 'Because of You I Shine', which became both their name and concept. With their unity and great chemistry, the group ended up with 12 members: Alan (Pasawee Sriarunotai), Marckris (Kris Kanchanatip), Khunpol (Pongpol Panyamit), Heart (Chuthiwat Jankane), Jinwook (Kim Jin Wook), Thai (Chayanon Phakthin), Nex (Nattakit Chaemdara), Phutatchai (Tatchai Limpanyakul), Copper (Dechawat Phondechaphiphat), AA (Ashirakorn Suvitayasatian), Jungt (T Boonsermsuwong), and Peemwasu (Wasupon Pornpananurak). Debut era and concept BUS made their official debut on Dec 6, 2023 with their first single ' Because of You, I Shine '. Their first track quickly went viral, surpassing 10 million views. With their fandom name as BEUS (Be with BUS), the heart of BUS's concept is a message of gratitude, unity, and emotional connection, themes that resonate deeply with their growing fanbase. In an interview with GQ Thailand, Thai Chayanon explained that they don't see their fans as passive or distant, but rather as part of their family. The sense of closeness makes them feel supported, with BUS and BEUS on the same journey together. Mackris added that when they release something, whether it is music or a performance, it's not just for themselves. It's something their fans can deeply connect to, as it is a shared achievement altogether. Music and subunits From bright and energetic tunes to emotional songs, BUS covers a wide variety of genres. Their second track ' WATCH YOUR STEP ' (2024) follows a similar theme to their debut, whilst later tracks such as ' LIAR ' (2024) and ' TRANSFORMER ' (2024) focus more on a darker and more choreography-based concept. In April 2024, the renowned group decided to diversify and showcase individual members by splitting into subunits. BUS5 and BUS7 are two dynamic teams with distinct musical styles and member lineups. BUS5 – made up of Heart, Jinwook, Jungt, Marckris, and Phutatchai – released ' No Matter What ' (2024), a heartfelt track that explores themes of loyalty and enduring friendship. In contrast, BUS7 – featuring AA, Alan, Copper, Khunpol, Nex, Peemwasu, and Thai – debuted with ' Brother Zone ' (2024), a playful and upbeat song centred on young love. Having these two subunits actually reinforces the group members' relationships with one another. In an interview with WOODY, Heart said, 'I feel that in the past year, we have been through a lot together. We have been more united as a group, in terms of trust and relationship with one another.' Shining on stage BUS made an unforgettable impression in their first year. In September 2024, they held their first tour around the country called 'Knock Knock : BUS 1st THAILAND FANCON TOUR'. They brought their talents and personalities to fans across Thailand, selling out every show available. The tour was a preparation for their biggest concert yet: 'BUS The 1st Concert: LIGHT THE WORLD', held at IMPACT Arena, Muang Thong Thani, from March 14 to 16, 2025. The three-day event marked a major turning point in their career, showcasing their ability on a large-scale stage. Achievements and fame Alongside their performance milestones, BUS received awards from several major award shows. They won Best Music and Best Performance at the TOTY Music Awards 2023, earned Rookie of the Year at the Mint Awards 2024, and were recognised by both the Kazz Awards and the Thailand Social Awards. Their presence also led to a performance at the prestigious Korean AAA Awards, highlighting their reach beyond Thailand. Once a group of trainees with big dreams and ambitions, BUS has grown into one of the most successful rising boy bands in 2025. As they continue to shine and capture attention worldwide, they stand as proof that Thai pop groups can thrive with authenticity, unity, and gratitude.

Olly Murs goes missing from radio show after wild night of partying
Olly Murs was a no-show for his Saturday morning radio slot on Heart Breakfast after partying too hard the night before. The former X-Factor runner-up, 41, usually presents his breakfast radio show on Saturday mornings with TOWIE star Mark Wright from 9am – 12pm. However, he left his partner-in-presenting in the lurch this weekend after staying out to celebrate the release of new song Save Me. Released on July 25, this is Olly's first single since 2022, three years after his last studio album, Marry Me. His new song comes only a few months after he announced that he and wife Amelia are expecting their second child together. It's no wonder Olly felt like celebrating… although that left partner Mark with a very empty chair in the morning. With Olly absent, Mark began: 'So if you've been listening to Heart this morning, you'll know that my co-host Mr Olly Murs isn't in. In a clip shared to the station's Instagram, he then shared footage of Olly partying in a busy bar or pub. 'No one can find him. Didn't know where he was. And someone has just sent this into the studio. Him out last night, caught on CCTV in a bar or a pub,' Mark explained. 'So he's obviously out, had a late night and not turned up to the studio. Very professional Olly Murs, I like it. Yeah, very good.' Back home, Olly took to Instagram to reflect on the night before. In an Instagram Story, he wrote: 'Last night was mad! Might've gone a bit too hard while celebrating the new single coming out with the boys… 'Also seem to have lost my wallet if anyone finds it.' He then shared Heart Radio's clip of Mark, with the caption: 'can't believe I missed the show today. Man does my head hurt!' A video shared to his feed showed the clip of Olly at the bar in full, surrounded by mates as they apparently imitated the iconic 'detention dance' from the film The Breakfast Club. 'best nioight evrrrrr 🍻🍻🍻' read Olly-s caption. Note the beer emojis. Between the impending release of his new song and the announcement of his wife's second pregnancy, it's been a busy time for the Dance With Me Tonight hitmaker. Earlier this year, Olly also unveiled a surprising physical transformation. In a video posted to Instagram, he could be seen doing pull-ups, boxing, cycling and lifting weights in the gym, looking more 'shredded' than he had 12 months prior. Olly's nutritionist, Greg, also posted a side-by-side of Olly's progress, showing his body pre-training plan and after three months. More Trending '12 weeks to shredded and pumped!!' read the caption. Olly met bodybuilder wife Amelia at the same gym, and tied the knot in 2023. Last April, they welcomed their first child together, daughter Madison. One year later, and they had more baby news to share – Amelia is pregnant with their second child. Sharing the news on his Instagram account with a black-and-white picture of the family on an Easter walk together, Olly wrote: 'We're so egg-cited to share this..… Another Baby Murs on the way.'
