JAMMU: Keeping up the tradition of holding cardiac awareness as well as screening camps Head Department of Cardiology GMCH Jammu Dr Sushil Sharma held a day long cardiac awareness cum health check up camp at Shiv Mandir Community Hall, Rani Bagh Jammu with focus to screen individuals for heart disease and to lessen the burden of cardiovascular diseases.
While interacting with the people Dr Sushil Stated that Cardiology, the branch of medicine devoted to the study and treatment of heart diseases, has long stood at the intersection of life-saving science and technological innovation. As cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide, the urgency to transform how heart conditions are predicted, diagnosed, treated, and prevented has never been greater. The future of cardiology is being reshaped by revolutionary advances that blend artificial intelligence, precision medicine, regenerative therapies, digital health, and minimally invasive technologies. These developments promise not only to extend life but to enhance its quality, redefining heart care from reactive treatment to proactive, personalized prevention. One of the most transformative forces in modern cardiology is artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning algorithms are increasingly capable of analyzing massive volumes of clinical data electrocardiograms (ECGs), imaging scans, genetic profiles, and electronic health records with speed and accuracy that surpass human capacity.
He elaborated that AI-driven tools can detect subtle patterns in ECGs that predict arrhythmias or heart failure years before symptoms appear. In cardiac imaging, AI enhances the precision of echocardiography, CT scans, and MRI by automating measurements and reducing diagnostic variability. Predictive models also help clinicians assess patient risk, personalize treatment strategies, and optimize clinical decision-making. As AI continues to evolve, cardiologists will transition from data interpreters to strategic decision makers supported by intelligent systems. The future of cardiology lies in recognizing that no two hearts are the same. Precision medicine, powered by advances in genomics and molecular biology, aims to tailor prevention and treatment strategies to an individual’s genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. Researchers are developing bio engineered heart tissue, injectable stem cells, and growth factor therapies that stimulate the regeneration of cardiac muscle and blood vessels. While still under refinement, these approaches hold the promise of restoring heart function rather than merely slowing disease progression. In the future, cardiology may move beyond symptom control toward true myocardial regeneration. Surgical innovation continues to redefine how heart diseases are treated. Minimally invasive procedures, including catheter-based interventions, have already transformed the management of coronary artery disease, valvular disorders, and arrhythmias. The future will see further integration of robotics and advanced imaging to enhance precision and safety. Dr Sushil Sharma while highlighting the future prospects of cardiac care told that the future of cardiology is entering a revolutionary era defined by intelligence, personalization, and regeneration. From AI-powered diagnostics and genomic medicine to regenerative therapies and digital health ecosystems, the discipline is evolving beyond traditional boundaries. The heart, once treated as a mechanical pump prone to irreversible damage, is now understood as a dynamic, adaptable organ capable of repair, prediction, and prevention. Management Committee of the Shiv Mandir Sewa Samiti Manmohan Khajuria , Govind Raj, Rajesh Bakshi, Khem Raj, Satvir Sharma, Naresh Khajuria and Surinder Sharma appreciated the efforts of Dr Sushil and his team for conducting cardiac awareness cum health check up camp in their locality and expressed their heartfelt gratitude.
