At 8:45 AM, 52-year-old Mr. Rajen Saikia walked into Apekshaโs Emergency with a simple complaint:
โChest heaviness since morningโฆ maybe gas.โ
He looked stable. No sweating. No classic โheart attack look.โ
But our ER team didnโt take chances.
Within 4 minutes, an ECG was done โ and it showed subtle ST-T changes, nothing dramatic but enough to raise suspicion.
To be safe, he was rushed for a high-sensitivity Troponin test.
Within 12 minutes, the report flashed: Markedly elevated.
Just then, the Cath Lab team was activated.
โธปInside the Cath Lab
Angiography revealed a critical 95% blockage in the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery โ commonly called the โwidow-maker artery.โ
Within 18 minutes, our interventional cardiologist placed a drug-eluting stent, restoring full blood flow.
โธปThe Outcome
Mr. Saikia walked out of the Cath Lab awake, talking, and pain-free.
By afternoon, he was sitting up, eating lunch with his family.
By Day 2, he was discharged with zero heart muscle damage โ the best possible outcome.
