Care Hospitals, Banjara Hills on Monday announced successful life-saving heart transplant surgery on a 25-year-old software employee, Dinesh, hailing from a modest family from Andhra Pradesh. The youngster was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP), a medical condition wherein it becomes difficult for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.
Despite being implanted with Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD), his condition did not improve. The doctors at Care Hospital advised him to register with the State-run Jeevandan cadaver organ donation initiative, for a donor heart.
