About the interview: At IDEC 2026, Dr. N. Pothanatharini highlights sleep as an area that may receive insufficient attention during routine metabolic care. She encourages clinicians to ask about sleep and discusses its relevance alongside diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular problems and the broader challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Medicine is a journey of continuous learning, but some of the most lasting lessons are learned from the people who guide us along the way. From the first clinical rotation to residency, fellowship, and independent practice, teachers, professors, seniors, and mentors play a role in shaping not just what we know, but how we think and practice as doct

Introduction Recovery after cardiac surgery extends well beyond a successful operation. Early, appropriately assessed rehabilitation can help patients progress from basic positioning and mobility to functional recovery while ensuring that safety remains central to every step. In this session, Dr. Muhammad Takruni discusses how clinicians can struct

Introduction Achieving an LDL-C target does not necessarily eliminate cardiovascular risk. In this session, Dr. Abdulrahman Khojah examines the residual risk that may persist despite apparently controlled LDL-C, with particular attention to lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], ApoB, and inflammation. The discussion takes a practical approach to risk assessment,

Clinical Context ECG interpretation involves more than identifying an elevated heart rate or irregular rhythm. Examining waveform morphology, rhythm regularity, and electrical amplitude can provide important insights into cardiac electrical activity. What the Video Covers ECG fundamentals: How electrical activity is represented as voltage changes o

Introduction Achieving guideline-recommended LDL levels does not always eliminate cardiovascular risk. In this discussion, Dr Abdulrahman Tawfiq Khojah explores why clinicians may need to look beyond LDL-C when assessing residual cardiovascular risk, with a focus on broader risk assessment and additional lipid markers. Key Clinical Insights Underst

For India's healthcare professionals, the more useful question is not only what can India achieve by 2047, but what should a developed health system make possible in everyday clinical practice? For HCPs, Viksit Bharat 2047 is not simply a distant national milestone. It is an opportunity to imagine what a mature health system should deliver: prevent

A simple ECG observation worth exploring. When we look at the ECG beat by beat, an interesting difference can be observed in T-wave amplitude variability between Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR). 🔴 AF- Mean beat-to-beat absolute T-wave difference: 0.061 mV 🟢 NSR- Mean beat-to-beat absolute T-wave difference: 0.026 mV 📊 In t
