 Hello everyone, I am Dr. Murli Krishnan, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon in Manipal Hospital, Role Airport Road, Bangalore. As all of you are aware, we are in the midst of coronavirus pandemic and due to the rapid spread of coronavirus and simultaneously treatment protocols have also been evolving and now how do we use the heart to beat cardiovascular disease? It is very simple, by following the tried and tested protocols for maintaining heart health, like regular walking, running, cycling or even climbing stairs for that matter and follow a healthy lifestyle in diet, avoid food switching, cholesterol and trans fats. Please do not ignore symptoms of heart disease like chest pain, breathlessness or palpitations. Nothing has changed much in the treatment of heart disease in spite of coronavirus. The only important thing is prompt and effective treatment of the symptom onset. At Manipal Hospital, all safety precautions are being taken to address all these problems of coronavirus and sanitization of commonly used surfaces. And there is no added risk to surgery coming to the cardiac surgery in particular. Because of corona, there is no added risk of cardiac surgery and all protocols are being set to handle surgery in both positive cases and negative cases. And please do not hesitate to come to the hospital for treatment fearing corona. This is the only effective message I want to say and for so stay safe, be aware, don't panic, trust Manipal Hospital to do everything possible for your safety and healthy heart. So the theme of this World Heart Day, don't ignore symptoms, use heart to effectively beat cardiovascular disease. I wish all of you to have a healthy World Heart Day.
