Ang Ischaemic Heart Disease or "Bara sa Puso" ang nananatiling pangunahing sanhi ng pagkamatay ng mga Pilipino.

Ayon sa provisional data ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) para sa 2025, 122,339 Pilipino ang namatay dahil sa ischaemic heart disease, na katumbas ng 19.7% ng lahat ng naitalang pagkamatay—halos 1 sa bawat 5 pagkamatay sa bansa.

Ito ay paalala na hindi dapat balewalain ang kalusugan ng puso. Ang regular na pagpapasuri, maagang pagtuklas ng sakit, at tamang pagkontrol sa high blood, diabetes, mataas na cholesterol, paninigarilyo, at iba pang risk factors ay mahalaga upang maiwasan ang atake sa puso.

Alagaan ang iyong puso. Ang maagang pag-iwas at tamang paggamot ay makapagliligtas ng buhay. ❤️

Case: A 70-year-old woman was brought to the emergency room after suddenly losing consciousness. Upon arrival, an electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed complete heart block, a serious condition in which the heart's electrical impulses fail to travel from the upper chambers to the lower chambers. As a result, the heart beats dangerously slowly, reducing blood flow to the brain and other vital organs.

Complete heart block is a medical emergency that can cause recurrent fainting, dizziness, heart failure, cardiac arrest, and even sudden death if left untreated.

Given the severity of her condition, she underwent permanent pacemaker implantation. The pacemaker restored a normal and reliable heart rhythm, allowing adequate blood flow throughout her body. Following the procedure, she made an excellent recovery, with no further episodes of loss of consciousness, and was discharged in stable condition.

This case highlights the importance of seeking immediate medical attention for unexplained fainting or sudden loss of consciousness. While these symptoms are often mistaken for neurological disorders, they may actually be caused by a life-threatening heart rhythm problem that is highly treatable when diagnosed early.

❤️ A timely diagnosis and a pacemaker can truly be lifesaving—because every heartbeat matters.

Case: A 40-year-old male with a history of heavy smoking and alcohol intake sought medical attention after experiencing progressive shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.

A 2D echocardiogram revealed severe heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), with a left ventricular ejection fraction of only 29%, indicating significantly impaired heart function.

To determine the underlying cause, a coronary angiogram was performed. The procedure revealed critical coronary artery disease involving the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, one of the heart's most important blood vessels. This severe blockage was identified as the likely cause of his weakened heart muscle and heart failure.

This case highlights an important reminder that heart failure in younger patients is often the result of underlying coronary artery disease, especially in individuals with risk factors such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Early diagnosis and timely coronary angiography are essential in identifying treatable causes and preventing further deterioration.

Shortness of breath is not always a lung problem—it can be a warning sign of severe heart disease. Early evaluation can save heart muscle and save lives. ❤️

Case: A 78-year-old female presented with progressive leg pain and difficulty walking due to intermittent claudication, significantly affecting her daily activities and quality of life.

To further evaluate the cause of her symptoms, a peripheral angiogram was performed, revealing the extent of peripheral arterial disease and identifying areas of compromised blood flow to the lower extremities.

Peripheral artery disease is a common condition among elderly patients and may manifest as leg pain during walking, numbness, weakness, or non-healing wounds. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial in preventing complications and preserving mobility.

This case highlights the importance of recognizing vascular symptoms early and utilizing advanced diagnostic procedures to guide appropriate treatment strategies.

Healthy circulation means better mobility and a better quality of life.

Case: A 44-year-old male hypertensive but non-diabetic from Cebu who suffered a heart attack. Coronary angiography revealed chronic total occlusions (CTO) involving the right coronary artery (RCA) and a severe culprit left anterior descending artery (LAD). Due to the complexity of his coronary disease, he was initially advised to undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).

However, the patient declined open-heart surgery and sought an alternative treatment option. He was subsequently transferred to Manila to undergo a complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in an effort to restore blood flow and preserve heart function.

This case highlights advanced catheter-based techniques can provide hope for patients seeking less invasive options vs open heart surgery.

Case: A 48-year-old female who was initially admitted and evaluated for a possible neurological and brain-tumor condition after experiencing dizziness and recurrent seizure-like episodes. Further cardiac assessment revealed the true cause — Complete Heart Block, a life-threatening condition causing severe bradycardia.

She underwent an emergency dual-chamber permanent pacemaker implantation, restoring her heart rhythm. Following the procedure, the patient made a remarkable recovery with resolution of her symptoms.

This case highlights the importance of considering cardiac causes in patients presenting with unexplained syncope or seizure-like episodes. Sometimes, the heart—not the brain—is the culprit.

Case: A 37-year-old male with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) secondary to hypertensive nephropathy presented with failure of his arteriovenous (AV) fistula only two months after its creation, compromising his access for life-sustaining hemodialysis.

To ensure uninterrupted renal replacement therapy, a permanent dialysis catheter was successfully implanted, providing a reliable long-term alternative access.

Despite the setback, the procedure was completed successfully, allowing the patient to continue receiving the dialysis treatments essential to his survival.

Every access restored means another chance at life.

Case: An 80-year-old male came to us suffering from recurrent episodes of severe dizziness and sudden loss of consciousness. His heart rate had dropped to dangerously low levels, leaving him at risk of life-threatening complications.

Further evaluation revealed Complete Heart Block, a condition where the heart's electrical system fails to properly transmit signals, causing the heart to beat far too slowly.

A permanent pacemaker implantation was urgently performed to restore a normal and reliable heart rhythm.

Today, the patient has made an excellent recovery. His dizziness has completely resolved, there have been no further episodes of loss of consciousness, and he has returned to his daily activities symptom-free.

This case highlights the life-saving impact of early diagnosis and timely cardiac intervention. Sometimes, restoring a heartbeat means restoring a life.

❤️ Every beat matters.
