Fastest Hip Replacement in Delhi

Sumitra Sharma, 86, a resident of Gaya in Bihar, has been a known heart disease patient. Recently, she slipped in the washroom at her residence and suffered a fracture of left hip (neck of femur). She had a previous history of breast cancer and had undergone angioplasty 18 years ago and was on double blood thinner medication.

She was brought to the emergency department at Fortis Escorts Hospital, Okhla in Delhi, after three days of her injury. At the time of admission, she complained of chest pain, following which an echocardiogram and other investigations were conducted which revealed an acute cardiac event along with old scarring and slow movement of part of the walls of the heart.

The heart was pumping blood at 30 percent of the full capacity (ejection fraction 30 percent). She underwent angiography before surgery and heparin was added to her blood thinners. All these comorbidities made the patient's condition highly complicated.
