Ahmedabad, Aug 26

EPIC Multispecialty Hospital a leading 280-bed hospital situated in the heart of Ahmedabad, on Wednesday announced a clinical partnership with Chennai-based MGM Healthcare to strengthen its existing heart-transplant programme and advanced heart-failure care.

Dr Anil Jain, Founder Director, EPIC Multispecialty Hospital, said, “EPIC has an established heart-transplant programme, and this partnership will strengthen the specialist expertise available to our patients. Having MGM Healthcare’s transplant specialists at EPIC will add further depth to the clinical management of complex transplant cases. The two institutions will also work together on LVAD implantation, providing an important treatment option for eligible patients with advanced heart failure.”

Dr K. R. Balakrishnan, Chairman – Cardiac Sciences and Director, Institute of Heart & Lung Transplant and Mechanical Circulatory Support, MGM Healthcare, Chennai, said, “Patients with advanced and end-stage heart failure may require different forms of advanced therapy depending on their clinical condition, including heart transplantation or mechanical circulatory support. The clinical decision-making involves careful assessment, optimisation and multidisciplinary management. Through this partnership, our specialists will work with the EPIC team on heart-transplant procedures as well as LVAD implantation for eligible patients. This will bring our experience in advanced heart-failure and transplant care to patients from Gujarat and neighbouring states at EPIC.”

For patients with advanced heart failure, LVAD implantation can provide mechanical circulatory support when conventional treatment is no longer sufficient. In patients who are candidates for transplantation, an LVAD can also serve as a bridge to transplant while their candidacy is being evaluated or while they await a suitable donor heart.
