He stated that the global survival rate of patients with heart attacks is 80% to 88% .

However at Sky Hospital, the survival rate stands at 92%, exceeding the global average.

Terming it a moment of pride not only for the hospital but the entire State, the Chief Consultant Cardiologist of Sky Hospital went on say that in case of an acute Myocardial Infarction (MI), if the patient is swiftly hospitalized, given accurate diagnosis and appropriate high standard treatment, then the patient has a high chance of recovery.

He appealed to the people of Manipur to be aware of symptoms of heart attack such as chest pain, left arm pain, sudden onset palpitation, dizziness, breathlessness, sweating, nausea and vomiting and the importance of quick response time (QRT) to rush, as soon as possible, to heart hospitals like Sky Hospital which has track record of higher survival rate.

The best treatment provided at the acute phase of MI leads to longer survival of patients in later years, he added.
