Bhubaneswar, Feb 4, 2025: Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) has become the first hospital in Odisha to offer Left-sided Optimised Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (LOT CRT) for heart failure. This cutting-edge treatment improves the coordination of the heart’s chambers, leading to better outcomes and a higher quality of life for patients.
Dr. Panchanan Sahoo, a senior cardiologist at KIMS, performed the first procedure in Odisha on December 13, 2024, with guidance from Dr. Anindya Ghosh from Madras Medical Mission. Unlike traditional treatments, LOT CRT uses a more precise technique to enhance heart function and reduce complications.
With this new technology, KIMS continues to lead in advancing cardiac care in the region.
