Cath lab and treadmill test machine installed at AIIMS Mangalagiri
A seventh-generation Azurion Biplane Cath Lab system, an interventional imaging platform that will significantly enhance cardiac care, neurovascular interventions, and complex endovascular procedures, was installed at AIIMS, Mangalagiri, on Saturday. The system is known for offering unparalleled image clarity, real-time 3D navigation, and advanced software integration, all while reducing radiation exposure. According to a release from the hospital, the new system, installed at a cost of ₹11 crore, reduces the need for patients to travel long distances for high-end cardiac and neurovascular procedures. Executive Director, AIIMS Mangalagiri, Ahanthem Santa Singh said that the advanced system positions the institution at the forefront of cardiovascular care. It allows them to offer world-class diagnostic and interventional services while improving safety, accuracy, and outcomes for our patients, Dr. Singh added. The institute also installed a Treadmill Test (TMT) machine in its cardiology department. This non-invasive diagnostic tool plays a crucial role in the early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) and assessment of cardiac fitness and exercise tolerance, according to the release. The TMT, also known as a stress test or exercise ECG, allows cardiologists to evaluate the heart's performance under physical stress, aiding in the timely diagnosis and management of ischemic heart disease, rhythm disorders, and exercise-induced symptoms.

AIIMS Mangalagiri to get cornea transplant centre soon
GUNTUR: In a major step towards strengthening eye care services in Andhra Pradesh, a Cornea Transplant Centre is set to be established at AIIMS Mangalagiri. The initiative, driven by Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications Pemmasani Chandrasekhar, is expected to benefit patients across Guntur and nearby districts suffering from corneal blindness and other vision-related ailments. The development follows the Minister's visit to AIIMS Mangalagiri on February 28, where he reviewed hospital operations and identified key gaps in infrastructure and staffing. Based on discussions with medical officers, he recognised the urgent need for a specialised cornea transplant facility. As the establishment of such a centre falls under the purview of the state government, Dr. Pemmasani escalated the issue to the district medical and health officer. A committee from the State Health Department later conducted a site inspection and submitted a favourable report recommending the centre. Thanks to persistent follow-up and coordination with state health authorities, the proposal received formal approval. With clearances now granted, the Cornea Transplant Centre is expected to become operational soon, offering advanced eye care and transplant services to thousands in the region.
