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.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
