A new study suggests that placing defibrillator pads on the back and front of the chest, instead of the traditional front-and-side placement, could significantly increase the chances of reviving a heart after cardiac arrest. While the research offers promising hints, further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Dr. Deepak Krishnamurthy, head of Interventional Cardiology at Bengaluru’s Kauvery Hospital, has released a series of informative videos addressing heart attack emergencies. The videos cover vital aspects like recognizing a heart attack, administering first aid, selecting a suitable hospital, understanding treatment options, and managing lifestyle after a heart attack. Dr. Krishnamurthy emphasizes the importance of prompt medical attention in saving lives and provides clear guidance on how to navigate a heart attack emergency.
