Overview of fellowship courses offered by Medvarsity and Medanta in Cardiology
In India, the prevalence of heart disease is dangerously rising. With 1.7 million fatalities each year, heart disease is the main cause of death in India. Nearly one-fourth of all fatalities in India, according to the global burden of disease study, are caused by cardiovascular disorders. There is a severe lack of qualified cardiologists in India despite the country's growing cardiovascular disease burden. The country needs 88,000 more cardiologists than the 4000 that are now available. To fill this gap in the demand for cardiac services, there is a need for doctors. The Fellowship in Clinical, Preventive & Non-Invasive Cardiology is a joint program created by Medanta Heart Institute and Medvarsity Online Ltd to develop a pool of skilled clinical and non-interventional cardiologists to address the increasing demand for cardiology services in India. The student will receive 2-years of on-job training in clinical, preventive, and non-invasive cardiology as part of this course. This will include clinical training of 6 months in cardiac ICU, 3 months in cardiac inpatient wards, and 3 months in cardiac OPDs. The student will also get 12 months of non-invasive cardiac diagnostics training including echocardiography, cardiac stress testing, nuclear imaging, and other imaging methods.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Endometriosis and Infertility
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, often affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic organs. This disorder can cause painful periods, pelvic pain, and, in many cases, infertility. The presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus can disrupt normal reproductive function by causing inflammation, scarring, and adhesions, which can interfere with ovulation, fertilization, and embryo implantation. Approximately 30-50% of women with endometriosis experience infertility, making it one of the leading causes of reproductive challenges in affected individuals. However, treatment options like surgery, medication, or assisted reproductive technologies can help improve fertility outcomes.
Impact of Endometriosis on Fertility
Endometriosis, a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, can significantly impact fertility. It causes inflammation, scarring, and adhesions that may distort pelvic anatomy, block fallopian tubes, and impair ovarian function. Endometriosis is also linked to hormonal imbalances and poor egg quality, reducing the chances of conception. Symptoms like chronic pelvic pain and painful intercourse further complicate fertility. Diagnosis often requires laparoscopy, while management includes pain relief, hormonal therapy, and assisted reproductive techniques like IVF. Early intervention with medical or surgical treatment can improve reproductive outcomes, but severe cases may necessitate advanced fertility treatments for conception.
Hyperlipidemia: From Diagnosis to Treatment
Hyperlipidemia is a condition characterized by elevated levels of lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests measuring lipid profiles, while treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, alongside medications like statins to manage cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk. Regular monitoring is essential for effective management and prevention of complications.
Acne: Disorders and Treatment Approaches
Acne is a common dermatological condition caused by clogged pores, excess sebum production, bacterial growth, and inflammation. It can manifest as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, or cysts, often leading to scarring if untreated. Various factors, including hormonal changes, diet, stress, and genetics, influence its severity. Treatment approaches range from topical and oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, and hormonal therapy, to advanced procedures like chemical peels and laser therapy. A personalized skincare regimen, along with lifestyle modifications, plays a crucial role in managing and preventing acne.
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Diagnosis and Management
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological condition characterized by bleeding outside the normal menstrual cycle, excessive flow, or irregular patterns. It can result from structural causes (polyps, fibroids, adenomyosis, malignancy) or non-structural factors (coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfunction, endometrial disorders). Diagnosis involves a thorough history, physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging (ultrasound), and sometimes hysteroscopy. Management depends on the underlying cause and includes hormonal therapy (oral contraceptives, progestins), non-hormonal options (NSAIDs, tranexamic acid), and surgical interventions (endometrial ablation, myomectomy, hysterectomy). A tailored approach ensures effective symptom control and improved quality of life. Early evaluation is key to preventing complications.

In India, the prevalence of heart disease is dangerously rising. With 1.7 million fatalities each year, heart disease is the main cause of death in India. Nearly one-fourth of all fatalities in India, according to the global burden of disease study, are caused by cardiovascular disorders. There is a severe lack of qualified cardiologists in India despite the country's growing cardiovascular disease burden. The country needs 88,000 more cardiologists than the 4000 that are now available. To fill this gap in the demand for cardiac services, there is a need for doctors. The Fellowship in Clinical, Preventive & Non-Invasive Cardiology is a joint program created by Medanta Heart Institute and Medvarsity Online Ltd to develop a pool of skilled clinical and non-interventional cardiologists to address the increasing demand for cardiology services in India. The student will receive 2-years of on-job training in clinical, preventive, and non-invasive cardiology as part of this course. This will include clinical training of 6 months in cardiac ICU, 3 months in cardiac inpatient wards, and 3 months in cardiac OPDs. The student will also get 12 months of non-invasive cardiac diagnostics training including echocardiography, cardiac stress testing, nuclear imaging, and other imaging methods.
