As people age, one of the most concerning health issues is heart problems, which have significantly increased over the past decade. Initially, it was predominantly a concern for men, but it has now become a major concern for women as well. Some contributing factors include menopause, age-related changes, lifestyle choices, and family history.
According to studies, menopausal hormonal changes can lead to cardiovascular problems in the form of high blood pressure and cholesterol issues.
Vaidam also encountered a similar case of a 50-year-old Vanuatu patient who was also suffering from cardiovascular issues and was continuously looking for medical treatment options outside. After conducting thorough research, she discovered our website and submitted an inquiry.
Within a short period of time, she was attended by one of our case managers, who asked for her reports. After looking into her reports, the case manager suggested that Ms. Marie come to India and consult some of the top Cardiac Surgeons in India.
She later came to India and consulted Dr. Sushant Srivastava, a reputed Cardiac Surgeon with over 28 years of experience. He assessed her reports and suggested that she undergo a mitral valve replacement.
The surgery was later successfully carried out at Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon. The patient was very happy with the treatment received and stayed in India for a month for complete recovery.
Ms. Marie expressed her gratitude, saying, "I just want to say thank you to the Vaidam team for looking after me during my treatment there. I'm proud of all the facilities they are bringing forward to facilitate our medical treatment here."
We hope for her speedy recovery and a bright, healthy future!
