A story of 60 years Irfan Ahmad who suffered multiple heart attacks and got a new lease of life at Badr Al Samaa.

Narrating his experience the patient explained. I felt sweating, dizziness and severe pain in the chest. I felt that I should rush to hospital. At Badr AL Samaa I was given emergency treatment. Dr. Benny did my angiography and found major blockages in my heart. He gave me the best treatment because of which I am alive now. This is the new day of my life, which I will never forget. Badr Al Samaa gave me the best treatment; the staff is very experienced here. I got more comfort than home here in the hospital.

Dr. Benny Panakkal said, “The patient was very weak and at the verge of collapse. He came to us with a major heart attack and we did the primary angioplasty. We did the procedure from the radial route (wrist) and opened the blockage. But during the procedure his heart got arrested and we performed CPR and gave high voltage shocks to make sure the heart restarts again. He kept on having heart arrests and we managed to revive him with 20 shocks and many emergency protocols. After stabilizing him, we could place the stent at the blockage site. After shifting the CCU, he got heart arrest again. We did emergency procedures and 40 shocks again. We did angiography again to find out the reason for the heart arrest, we found the stent was placed right. He was managed in cardiac critical care”. He slowly recovered and got the new lease of life.
