JAMMU, Feb 1: Keeping up the tradition of holding cardiac awareness as well as screening camps Head Department of Cardiology GMCH Jammu Dr Sushil Sharma held a day long cardiac awareness-cum-health check up camp at Shiv Mandir Community Hall , Rani Bagh Jammu with focus to screen individuals for heart disease and to lessen the burden of cardiovascular diseases .
While interacting with the people, Dr Sushil stated that Cardiology, the branch of medicine devoted to the study and treatment of heart diseases, has long stood at the intersection of life-saving science and technological innovation. “As cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide, the urgency to transform how heart conditions are predicted, diagnosed, treated, and prevented has never been greater. The future of cardiology is being reshaped by revolutionary advances that blend artificial intelligence, precision medicine, regenerative therapies, digital health, and minimally invasive technologies. These developments promise not only to extend life but to enhance its quality, redefining heart care from reactive treatment to proactive, personalized prevention. One of the most transformative forces in modern cardiology is artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning algorithms are increasingly capable of analyzing massive volumes of clinical data electrocardiograms (ECGs), imaging scans, genetic profiles, and electronic health records with speed and accuracy that surpass human capacity,” Dr Sharma said.
He elaborated that AI-driven tools can detect subtle patterns in ECGs that predict arrhythmias or heart failure years before symptoms appear. In cardiac imaging, “AI enhances the precision of echocardiography, CT scans, and MRI by automating measurements and reducing diagnostic variability. Predictive models also help clinicians assess patient risk, personalize treatment strategies, and optimize clinical decision-making. As AI continues to evolve, cardiologists will transition from data interpreters to strategic decision makers supported by intelligent systems”, he said.
Others who were part of the camp include Dr Venkatesh Yellupu and Dr Adarsh Sharma. Paramedics and volunteers include Kamal Sharma, Ranjeet Singh, Raghav Rajput, Rajkumar, Makhan Sharma, Mohd Altaf, Mukesh Kumar, Maninder Singh, Paramveer Singh, Vikas Kumar, Gourav Sharma, Rajinder Singh, Shubham Sharma, Gokul Jamwal, Rohit Nayyar and Nirvair Singh Bali.
