RAK Hospital attracts celebrity doctor to add to its outstanding medical innovations-Dr. S. Radhakrishnan

Have you ever known anyone with a congenital heart defect? Whether it's a hole in the heart or hypoplastic left heart syndrome, they're all defects that need to be taken care of. They are often diagnosed in infancy and sometimes before birth. But some defects are harder to spot than others and may not be diagnosed until much later in childhood or even adulthood.

Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, who was honored for the outstanding contributions to clinical and Pediatric Interventional by the 'ISC Oration' in 2010, will enrich the well renowned hospital of RAK with his visit on July 27th, 2013.

Patients will seek the doctor for his 30 years of expertise in medicine. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan started the procedure of Balloon dilation of the Atrial Septum and Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty for the first time in the world at AIIMS, New Delhi. He was also the first in the world literature to describe Balloon Dilation of the Atrial Septum in Transposition of great vessels, which is now used widely in both pediatric and adult practice worldwide. Furthermore, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan was the first one to win an award for describing Coil Closure of Patient of Ductus Arteriosus. He is the Director of Pediatric Cardiology Services at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute.

Dr. S. Radhakrishnan will converse with patients and his fellow experienced doctors, and will attend to selected cases which require his expertise. His knowledge and experience is all set to benefit the patients with such defects or complications as he will be visiting RAK Hospital once every month.
