ANANTNAG, AUG 17 – In a groundbreaking medical achievement, the Cardiology section of the Department of General Medicine at Government Medical College (GMC) Anantnag successfully performed the first Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Pacemaker (CRT-P) implantation under C-arm fluoroscopy in the region of Jammu and Kashmir.

This significant milestone marks a new chapter in the medical history of the state.

The procedure was carried out on a 50-year-old female patient diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) with an ejection fraction (EF) of 20% and a Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB) with a QRS duration of 170 milliseconds.

The CRT-P implantation was successfully completed with a remarkable narrowing of the QRS duration to 110 milliseconds, signifying an effective response to the therapy. The historic procedure was done by group of cardiologists including Dr Syed Maqbool, Dr Shamim Iqbal and Dr Showkat Shah with support of technical staff.

What makes this achievement even more noteworthy is that the procedure, which is typically performed in a Cath lab, was conducted under C-arm fluoroscopy due to the ongoing installation of a Cath lab at GMC Anantnag. This pioneering effort is the first instance of a CRT-P implantation being performed under C-arm guidance in Jammu and Kashmir.

The successful execution of this complex procedure would not have been possible without the unwavering support and leadership of Prof. Dr. Rukhsana Najeeb, Principal of GMC Anantnag. Her commitment to advancing healthcare services at the institution has been instrumental in making such complex procedures a reality at GMC Anantnag.

Special thanks are also extended to the former Medical Superintendent, Muzaffar Sherwani, and the dedicated OT staff, whose collective efforts ensured the smooth and successful completion of the procedure. Their support was crucial in overcoming the challenges posed by the absence of a fully operational Cath lab.

This historic achievement underscores GMC Anantnag’s commitment to providing cutting-edge medical care and its determination to push the boundaries of healthcare in the region.
