Understanding Heart Failure & Why Early Care Matters
Heart failure is a condition where the heart doesn’t pump blood as efficiently as it should. It can develop gradually and may lead to symptoms like:
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue and tiredness
- Swelling in the ankles or legs
- Frequent urination at night
- Reduced ability to exercise
What makes heart failure serious is how silently it can progress without treatment. Timely diagnosis and the right combination of medical and interventional therapies can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.
Dr. Prem Ratan Degawat – A Leading Heart Specialist in Jaipur
Dr. Prem Ratan Degawat is one of the most trusted and experienced cardiologists in Jaipur. He is currently practicing at Eternal Hospital, and specializes in interventional cardiology and structural heart procedures.
Key Highlights:
- DM Cardiology from King George’s Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow
- International Fellowships in Structural Heart Disease & TAVI (Italy)
- Over 600+ TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) cases handled
- Performed Rajasthan’s first non-surgical tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR–ViV)
His practice combines deep clinical knowledge with advanced cardiac technologies to manage complex heart failure cases with precision and care.
Treatment Approach for Heart Failure
1. Accurate Diagnosis & Medical Therapy
Every case begins with a detailed evaluation using tools like:
- Echocardiography
- Stress testing
- Holter monitoring
- Coronary angiography
Based on the findings, Dr. Degawat may recommend medical treatment involving:
- Beta-blockers
- ACE inhibitors or ARNI
- Diuretics to manage fluid retention
- SGLT2 inhibitors for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)
These are tailored to the patient’s individual risk profile and response to therapy.
2. Advanced Interventions for Valve-Related Heart Failure
Many heart failure cases are linked to underlying valve problems. Dr. Degawat specializes in non-surgical structural heart procedures, such as:
- MitraClip: For patients with mitral valve leakage (MR)
- TriClip: For tricuspid valve regurgitation
- TAVI/TAVR: Minimally invasive valve replacement for aortic stenosis
- TMVR & TTVR: Valve-in-valve replacement for mitral or tricuspid valves
These procedures are ideal for elderly patients or those at high risk for open-heart surgery.
3. Complex Coronary Interventions
For patients with heart failure caused by blocked arteries, he performs:
- Left main and multivessel angioplasty
- Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) procedures
- Rotablation, IVL (Shockwave), and laser angioplasty for hard calcified plaques
In critical cases, he uses mechanical support systems like:
- Impella
- ECMO
- IABP
These support the heart temporarily during high-risk procedures or heart failure crises.
A Patient-Centered Experience
Dr. Degawat is appreciated not only for his medical expertise but also for the time he spends helping patients understand their condition and treatment options. His communication is simple, direct, and free of medical jargon—making it easier for families to make informed decisions.
Patients also value:
- Clean, well-managed clinic space
- Respect for appointment time
- Quick and responsive support from clinic staff
Who Should Consider Visiting?
- Individuals experiencing frequent breathlessness, swelling, or fatigue
- Patients with known valve disorders or past valve surgeries
- People previously turned away from surgery due to high risk
- Those with weak heart pumping function (low ejection fraction)
- Families looking for second opinions or modern heart failure solutions
