The clinic will provide state-of-the-art care for patients with syncope & this clinic stands as one of the very few specialized syncope clinics in the country.
Syncope, colloquially known as fainting or passing out, is a transient loss of consciousness resulting from decreased blood flow to the brain. Despite often being benign, it can signal underlying heart or neurological conditions requiring attention. Recognizing the critical need for specialized care, this initiative establishes one of the country’s few dedicated syncope clinics, promising cutting-edge evaluation and management for patients.
Led by a multidisciplinary team of experts including cardiologists, neurologists, and electrophysiologists, the Syncope Clinic offers tailored assessment and personalized care plans for individuals grappling with recurrent episodes. By harnessing collaborative expertise, the clinic aims to diagnose underlying causes accurately and devise effective treatment strategies.
Complementing this endeavor is the Pacemaker Clinic, catering to individuals requiring intervention to regulate heart rhythm. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by experienced professionals, the clinic offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient surveillance, coupled with patient education initiatives. Services encompass device system evaluations, analysis, and programming, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

This approach facilitates the integration of diverse expertise, ensuring patients receive comprehensive and tailored treatment solutions”.
Dr. Sharath Kumar Rao underscored the importance of such specialized clinics in addressing the evolving healthcare needs of the community, reaffirming the institution’s commitment to excellence in patient care. And he said” There is no universally accepted gold standard method for diagnosing and treating any disease. Instead, employing a multidisciplinary approach is deemed the most appropriate course of action for effective management”
