In a groundbreaking achievement, the cardiology department of GB Hospital in Agartala has marked a historic milestone by successfully closing a heart hole through device closure, a procedure conducted for the first time in the hospital's history.
Dr. Aninda Sundar Trivedi, a prominent cardiologist and member of the cardiology department, announced this achievement during a press conference, highlighting the remarkable success of the medical team in advancing cardiac care.
Over the months of January and February 2024, the hospital has witnessed a significant surge in cardiac procedures, with more than 70 patients undergoing angiography and 30 to 35 patients receiving angioplasty. Additionally, 22 patients benefited from the installation of chest space makers, contributing to the enhancement of cardiac health services.

Dr. Trivedi expressed his satisfaction with the achievements, emphasizing the dedication of the hospital's medical staff in providing high-quality cardiac care. He also highlighted the introduction of new services in the cardiology department, including the provision of free space makers for Ayushman cardholders.
