Speaker A.N. Shamseer stressed the need for in-depth research into the rising cases of sudden cardiac arrest among youth, especially in the post-COVID context. Medical Trust Hospital’s new Radial Lounge was inaugurated with a special offer of angiogram services at ₹10,000 for three months.

“Youths between the ages of 20 and 40 are increasingly succumbing to sudden cardiac arrests, often collapsing without prior symptoms. This trend has particularly intensified in the post-COVID era,” the Speaker said. “It is crucial to investigate whether this is a consequence of long-term effects of COVID-19 or driven by other factors. A thorough and serious scientific study must be initiated, and Medical Trust Hospital should take a leading role in this endeavor,” he added.
Hospital Directors Dr. P.V. Thomas and P.V. Xavier also spoke on the occasion. Medical professionals including Dr. Raja Sekhar Varma, Dr. Sajy V. Kuruttukulam, Dr. Manu R. Varma, Dr. K.S. Gopakumar, and Dr. Arun Kumar Gopalakrishna Pillai, along with other doctors and staff, were present. The Radial Lounge has been set up in the South Block of Medical Trust Hospital, marking a significant step in enhancing patient-centric cardiac care services.
