What Are MitraClip and TriClip? Heart valves sometimes leak. When they do, blood flows in the wrong direction. This forces the heart to work harder. Over time, it causes breathlessness, fatigue, and heart failure. Traditional treatment was open-heart surgery. That meant cutting open the chest and stopping the heart. Many patients, especially the elderly or

Most people picture a heart attack as a dramatic event. Crushing chest pain. Arm numbness. Collapsing to the floor. But nearly half of all heart attacks do not feel like that at all. A silent heart attack causes little or no obvious pain. The heart muscle loses blood supply, gets damaged, and the person carries

A significant milestone in interventional cardiology was achieved with the successful completion of Nepal’s first Orbital Atherectomy procedure in Kathmandu. The case was proctored by Dr. Prem Ratan Degawat, reinforcing the growing adoption of advanced coronary calcium management techniques in complex cardiac care. This achievement represents not only technical excellence but also the strengthening of

What Is Tricuspid Regurgitation? Tricuspid regurgitation occurs when the tricuspid valve—located between the right atrium and right ventricle—fails to close properly, allowing blood to flow backward into the right atrium during each heartbeat. While mild tricuspid regurgitation is present in 80-90% of the general population, it becomes problematic when moderate to severe. Research shows that

Understanding the difference between mitral regurgitation and mitral stenosis is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment. Both affect the mitral valve—the gateway between your heart’s left atrium and left ventricle- but in completely opposite ways. What Is Mitral Valve Disease? Your mitral valve acts like a one-way door, allowing oxygen-rich blood to flow from the
