16. CRITICAL CARE WORKING GROUPTM The Critical Care Working GroupTM at Kalra Hospital in New Delhi was convened with the understanding that the practice of critical care medicine is in its infancy across the world. The ability to shape the way critical care is delivered outside of developed nations is the primary focus of the working group. We understand that developing nations are limited by resources that exist for taking care of the critically ill. The reasons are multiple including the prohibitive cost, the lack of critical care training programs and inadequate infrastructure. We seek to improve access to multidisciplinary art of critical care medicine, improve the delivery of critical care medicine, and improve the overall care of the critically ill in the institutions we work in. Our goals will be met through educational conferences, and consulting with hospitals throughout New Delhi and India, as we develop the region’s next generation of critical care specialists. BARRY J. MARONTM HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY CENTER The Barry J. MaronTM Hypertrophic Cardiomyopa- thy Center at Kalra Hospital SRCNC Pvt. Ltd., un- veiled on September 27, 2014 at the Le Meridien in New Delhi by Dr. Barry J. Maron (of the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation), is India’s first hypertro- phic cardiomyopathy (HCM) “Center of Excellence.” The center’s mission is to provide state-of-the-art care to HCM patients in India, comparable to that provided to such patients in the West. As discussed by Drs. Barry Maron and Ankur Kalra in their Euro- pean Heart Journal article, “at this time, expertise in HCM is underdeveloped and there are no estab- lished multidisciplinary centres in India specifically designed for the systematic assessment of patients with this disease. The center at Kalra Hospital has been established in recognition of this deficit. As Drs. Barry Maron and Ankur Kalra have written, HCM has not been a priority in India, and these patients have been underserved. Solutions are challenging and will take time, but can be best achieved by emphasizing HCM-related education and training, and also by developing multidisci- plinary programmes dedicated to this disease. Kalra Hospital Sri Ram Cardio-thoracic and Neurosciences Centre (SRCNC) Pvt. Ltd. has taken the first step in this direction, and will continually strive to make a difference in the lives of HCM patients in India. Ankur Kalra, MD, FACP, FACC is the director of the Barry J. MaronTM Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center at Kalra Hospital SRCNC Pvt. Ltd. He is a Harvard- and Cornell-trained board-certified advanced interventional and structural cardiologist with certifications in internal medicine and cardiovascular disease from the American Board of Internal Medicine, and adult comprehensive echocardiography from the National Board of Echocardiography in United States. The mission of the HCM center at Kalra will be to appropriately manage patients with this complex disease, offering advanced cardiovascular imaging (including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging), clinic cardiac electrophysiology for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, genetic testing for patients’ family members where necessary and indicated. The HCM center at Kalra, under Dr. Maron’s guidance, has worked in collaboration with Dr. Maron’s surgical team to identify and train select few cardiovascular surgeons in India in surgical septal myectomy, establish a nationwide referral system where patients with this complex disease can get evaluated by cardiovascular experts at Kalra dedicated to HCM, and also diligently follow these patients longitudinally on an annual basis, and establish a nationwide registry as part of this program dedicated to HCM. and screening and As “enhancing medical expertise in HCM requires commitment and willingness to invest in time and money, as well as development of an expanded and accessible medical insurance programme (with adequate reimbursement provisions),” Kalra Hospital invites philanthropic individuals, financial institutions, and organizations at large to donate generously toward this initiative, and collaborate with us for developing a state-of-the-art HCM center and national registry of HCM patients. 16
