When 58-year-old Mr. Tuilau Mark Hirst from Fiji started experiencing persistent fatigue, dizziness, episodes of a slow heartbeat, and occasional chest heaviness, he knew he needed expert cardiac care. Wanting advanced treatment and experienced specialists, he searched online for heart treatment options and connected with Vaidam Health to explore medical care in India.

From the very first interaction, the Vaidam Health team carefully reviewed his medical reports, understood his condition, and recommended some of India's leading cardiac specialists and hospitals. After discussing the available treatment options, Mr. Hirst chose Medicover Hospital, HITEC City, Hyderabad, where he consulted Dr. Kumar Narayanan, a Senior Consultant Cardiologist and Cardiac Electrophysiologist.

Dr. Kumar conducted a detailed evaluation, including an ECG, echocardiogram, treadmill test (TMT), and Holter monitoring. The investigations confirmed that Mr. Hirst was suffering from Symptomatic Sick Sinus Syndrome, a condition in which the heart's natural pacemaker does not maintain a normal heart rhythm, leading to fatigue, dizziness, and reduced exercise tolerance.

After reviewing the results, Dr. Kumar recommended Dual Chamber Pacemaker Surgery to regulate his heartbeat and improve his quality of life. The procedure was successfully performed at Medicover Hospital, and Mr. Hirst recovered well under the close supervision of the experienced cardiac team.

Mr. Hirst travelled to India alone for his treatment and stayed for approximately three weeks, allowing sufficient time for the surgery, recovery, follow-up consultations, and post-operative evaluation before returning home to Fiji.

Throughout his medical journey, Vaidam Health provided comprehensive assistance, including:

• Helping him select the right cardiac specialist and hospital
• Reviewing and coordinating his medical reports before travel
• Scheduling online and in-person consultations
• Arranging hospital appointments and admission
• Assisting with medical visa guidance and travel planning
• Providing airport pick-up and on-ground support
• Helping with accommodation arrangements
• Coordinating communication with the hospital throughout treatment
• Offering continuous support until he safely returned home

Today, Mr. Tuilau Mark Hirst is recovering well and looks forward to resuming his normal daily life with renewed confidence and improved heart health. 

Expressing his heartfelt gratitude, Mr. Tuilau Mark Hirst said:

"While searching online for treatment options, I came across Vaidam Health, and choosing them was one of the best decisions I made.
