      <title>When Does a Slow Heart Require a Pacemaker?</title>
      <description>In this episode of Health Charcha Season 2, issued in public interest by Medtronic, host Kartik speaks with Dr Ranjan Shetty, Lead Consultant Cardiologist and Medical Director at Sparsh Group of Hospitals, Bengaluru, to decode bradycardia, a condition where the heart beats slower than normal. While a low heart rate can be perfectly normal in athletes or healthy individuals, it can also signal a serious electrical problem in the heart, especially when accompanied by symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, blackouts, or fainting. The episode explores how bradycardia becomes more common with age, the risks of delayed diagnosis, including sudden falls and injuries and when a pacemaker becomes necessary. Dr Shetty also explains the difference between traditional wired pacemakers and newer leadless pacemakers, highlighting how minimally invasive technology is transforming heart rhythm care in India and helping patients return to life with greater confidence and safety.

      <description>Varicose veins are an age-old condition, but treatment has come a long way, from traditional surgery to minimally invasive options and today’s breakthrough glue therapy (adhesive therapy). In this episode of Health Charcha, host Karthik speaks with Dr. Saurabh Rai, vascular surgeon at NH Hospital, Bangalore, about how treatments have evolved, what makes glue therapy a game-changer, recovery timelines, and the lifestyle changes that can improve quality of life. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a world of difference — consult your physician and ask about adhesive therapy.

      <description> Join host Kartik in Season 2 of Health Charcha, issued in public interest by Medtronic, as he explores the complexities of obesity with  Dr. Atul N.C. Peters, Senior Director- Bariatric, Minimal Access &amp; General Surgery at Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, Delhi. This insightful episode delves into why obesity is far more than just excess weight, highlighting its connection to serious health risks, including being the second leading cause of cancer. Dr Peters discusses the role of genetics, environmental influences, and lifestyle factors in the development of obesity, while also addressing its social and psychological impacts. He emphasises the importance of recognising obesity as a chronic disease rather than a personal failing and outlines the latest treatment options, including both surgical and non-surgical approaches. The episode also debunks common myths and underscores the need for early intervention to improve long-term health outcomes. Whether you’re living with obesity or simply looking to understand it better, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate, and evidence-based perspective.

      <title>All about Aortic Stenosis</title>
      <link>https://health-charcha.simplecast.com/episodes/all-about-aortic-stenosis-hqoazd0l-6_MeA_3L</link>
      <description>A healthy heart beats around 100,000 times a day. Your heart’s job is to supply oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. It does that by pumping blood through four heart chambers with the help of four heart valves that open and close with every heartbeat. The aortic valve controls blood as it flows out of the heart and to the rest of the body. But there is also a disease that occurs in this Aortic valve, that must be taken notice of sooner than later. Aortic Stenosis or AS is a disease where the valve leaflets become stiff and thickened and have a difficult time opening and closing. This makes your heart work harder to pump blood through your body. This affects your health and limits your normal daily activities. If left untreated, severe AS can lead to heart failure or even sudden death.  In this episode, Dr. Anoop Agarwal talks to us about what happens when your aortic valve becomes diseased (stenotic). Tune in to know more about this disease and who can get affected by it.
