The 76th annual conference of the Cardiological Society of India (CSI) concluded in Lucknow on Sunday, with prominent cardiologists from across the globe discussing key issues related to heart disease, its symptoms, and advancements in treatment.
Dr. Rakesh Yadav, a specialist from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi, emphasized the growing impact of obesity on heart health. He revealed that one in three people worldwide suffers from obesity, a condition increasingly linked to sedentary lifestyles. “Obesity leads directly to heart attacks, high cholesterol, and diabetes,” Dr. Yadav warned. He advised anyone with a body mass index (BMI) over 27 to be cautious, noting that the ideal BMI for adults is considered to be around 24.9.
The final day of the four-day conference saw a range of expert discussions on new diagnostic tools and treatment techniques. Dr. Satyendra Tiwari, professor of cardiology at SGPGIMS and chief organizer of the event, highlighted the significance of these exchanges. “The latest treatment methods and diagnostic techniques discussed during this conference will play a key role in improving cardiac care standards both in the state and across the country,” he said.
Experts also addressed the role of MRI and CT scans in diagnosing heart conditions, advancements in angioplasty, and preventive measures to avoid cardiovascular diseases. Over 15 sessions, lectures, and workshops drew medical professionals and students alike.
The event, organized by the CSI in collaboration with SGPGIMS, featured panel discussions, keynote addresses, and practical workshops. The valedictory ceremony was attended by members of the Uttar Pradesh chapter of the CSI, along with organizing committee members from SGPGIMS.
