By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD In the first part of my article on this subject, I highlighted the differences between two types of Sudden Cardiac Death or SCD. To recapitulate what I had said, the first reason for the heart to stop beating is because of the blockage of one of the three tiny…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The sudden passing away of the apparently ‘Fit as a Fiddle’ film actor, Puneeth Rajkumar , the ‘Apple of the Eye’ of every one of his fans, has not only shocked them but most other people too. This is so not only because of the suddenness of the event…
