The Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research is set to enhance cardiac care accessibility in rural areas by launching weekly heart screening clinics in Chamarajanagar district, Karnataka. This initiative, announced by Institute Director Dr. B. Dinesh, will collaborate with Chamarajanagar Medical College and local authorities. Screening will occur every Monday or Wednesday, with patients needing advanced interventions referred to Mysuru. This move is in response to the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, particularly among younger populations, attributed to sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary habits.
