Mohammed bin Khalifa Center Achieves High Surgical Volume
The article highlights the efforts of the Mohammed Bin Khalifa Heart Center in Bahrain in diagnosing and treating early heart diseases. It shows that conditions such as atherosclerosis and cardiomyopathy are appearing in younger age groups compared to European countries, due to higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and smoking. The center performs approximately 446 open-heart surgeries and 3,437 cardiac catheterizations annually, with improvements in treatment techniques and a reduction in the need for open surgeries through modern methods like catheterization and advanced stents. It also emphasizes that delayed patient referrals pose a challenge, prompting the center to enhance coordination and early training, while strengthening collaborations with global centers such as Mayo Clinic to improve performance and develop national expertise. The expansion of the new building in Alawi has increased capacity and service quality, and the development of advanced techniques and preventive care has contributed to reducing cases requiring treatment abroad, with a focus on minimizing lifestyle-related risk factors.
