ICC 2016, a first-of-its-kind comprehensive course on coronary artery disease management, brought together most eminent cardiac surgeons and cardiologists from the world on the same platform for a comprehensive overview of the subject. The three-day event held in New Delhi, was inaugurated by Pranab Mukherjee, President, India, which was organised by Medanta The Medicity.
The event was also attended by yoga guru, Baba Ramdev. Baba and Dr Naresh Trehan, Chairman, Medanta The Medicity, discussed about holistic healing of heart diseases by Yoga, Ayurveda and meditation along with modern diagnostics.
Inaugurating the event, Mukherjee, said, “Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of deaths globally. Among cardiovascular diseases, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) has the largest stake in taking lives of people. The precious assets of our nation which is the young population are becoming increasingly vulnerable to CAD and heart attacks. By 2020, India may account for 60 per cent of the world’s heart patients.”
While addressing the audience, Dr Trehan, Chairman, Medanta the Medicity said, “Around six crore people in India already have heart related diseases and another six crore are in line. The current modern medical systems treat patients using methods like antibiotics, chemotherapy, surgeries, radiation, etc. but even after successful surgeries, the patients’ body is left in great trauma.”
The objective of ICC 2016 was to break the stereotype mind set of individualistic approach of coronary artery disease management towards more broad-based approaches built on consensus. It is the most comprehensive course on updated coronary artery disease management to meet the unmet needs of young cardiac surgeons.
