OCT Imaging Helps to See Heart Blockage More Clearly & Stent Placement More Accurately: Dr Manan & Dr Praveen

By Samachar Digital News

Amritsar 31^st August:- “Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is a promising diagnostic tool and has revolutionized the cardiac angiography where cardiologists can see the clogged arteries clearly and with more accuracy.  It has in fact opened new horizons for intravascular coronary imaging and has become like a "third eye" of interventional cardiologist.”

This was stated by Dr Manan Anand , Head of Cardiology at Nayyar Hospital, Amritsar while addressing a press conference at Hotel Hyatt here on Saturday.

He said further that OCT is a light-based catheter which acquires on an image inside the heart blood vessel.

Dr Manan Anand informed that OCT is a recently-developed, catheter-based Intravascular Imaging Technology that provides micron-scale resolution. It is a laser light equivalent of ultrasound imaging, measuring the intensity of backscattered infrared light rather than sound waves, and translates these optical echoes into a high-resolution, two-dimensional tomographic image.

OCT has the highest imaging resolution of any currently-available technology; he said by adding that OCT imaging is also very helpful in post angioplasty to see the positioning of the stent within the vessel and clearance of blockage.

Talking about the need of awareness on quality stents among patients, Dr. Praveen Chandra, the Chairman of the Division of Interventional Cardiology at Medanta –The Medicity said that in 2017 the government has brought prices of all types of stents equal. He added that now in this scenario, it becomes very important for those going for insertion of stents to open clogged heart arteries to be aware of quality of stents. In fact it becomes duty of patient and his or her attendants to ask the surgeon to use quality stent.

Stressing upon the need to do Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) , Dr Praveen said that FFR should be done on each heart blockage patient so that it can be ascertained that he or she requires stenting. FFR is used to determine if a cardiac patient really needs a stent or bypass surgery or can be kept only on medicines avoiding any procedure, he informed.

Dr Praveen said that Dr Manan Anand is already doing complex cardiac interventional procedures at Nayyar Hospital, Amritsar. 

Meanwhile a workshop of complex heart procedures and OCT guided angioplasty was also held in evening at hotel where both Dr Praveen and Dr Manan discussed latest developments in cardiology treatment.

Black Lotus Wows with Its New Menu

By Samachar Digital News

Chandigarh 29^th August:- Black Lotus, the fine dining Chinese restaurant at Taj Chandigarh, introduces an all new menu that has been especially curated by their expatriate Chef, Yan Jun Jun.

Already a leading Chinese restaurant in the city, Black Lotus at Taj Chandigarh is a popular destination for epicureans who enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine. The restaurant had impressed the city foodies with its revamp last year that saw a lovely alfresco added to the restaurant along with a lounge too. Then they went on to welcome on board the only Chinese expatriate chef of the city in an endeavor to bring Beijing flavors to Chandigarh.

General Manager, Surinder Singh said that ‘in an attempt to constantly better themselves, the hotel keeps pace with the latest in the industry and attempts to bring it to the guests.’ The central idea in having Chef Yan Jun Jun come on board was to bring to Chandigarh, the unadulterated dishes of China.

The new menu is perfectly balanced with regards to the vegetarian and non-vegetarian palate. Apart from the main course, guests can choose from a range of options covering soups, salads, dim sums, kothe, baozi, wontons, appetizers, hot pots and also the ever-popular Black Lotus grills.

An old favorite, the Peking Duck has been retained from the old menu, though the new Chef does add his personal zing to this interactive meal course. This holds true for the clay pot section of the menu too, where one finds that Chef Yan Jun Jun has indeed brought in his special touch to this wholesome meal option.

The menu packs in a variety when it comes to delicacies like prawns, calamari and lobsters. However, there are some vegetarian delights like wok tossed tomato, zucchini, bell pepper in old Beijing sauce, which should not be missed at all.

The dessert section of the menu deserves special mention too. Regulars like darsaan, date pancake and banana and apple toffee have been retained, with new gems like red cherry Bavarois frosting and lemon grass crème brulee, have been introduced too. Chocolate fondue deserves special mention here for not just how well the dish has been presented, but also the lovely variety of flavors that it brings to the table.

A sure shot winner, the new menu at Taj Chandigarh Black Lotus is indeed a delight for guests and bound to have you flocking to the restaurant over and over again.
