In America, the world’s only superpower, many Pakistani doctors are active in the non-important field of medicine and health. He has raised the flags of success in the land of America on the basis of his immense abilities. Dr. Sadia Khan, who is one of the prominent American cardiologists, is among the countrymen who have made important achievements.
Dr. Sadia Khan is the daughter of Pakistani parents. Born in the American city of Chicago. In 2009, he received his MBBS degree from Northwestern University, the famous school of the city. Later specialized in cardiology. Currently associated with Northwestern Memorial Hospital as Cardiologist. She also teaches as an Associate Professor at Northwestern University.
In this year, Dr. Sadia Khan played an important role in discovering a new type of heart disease. In addition, he also invented a calculator or a measuring device that can help a person know if he has such physical changes. Have taken through which he may be suffering from this new disease?
Contradictory medical instructions
It was Dr. Sadia Khan who first discovered while treating her patients that they were often following contradictory medical instructions. Because of these inconsistent instructions, the heart disease they had sometimes worsened. Most of the patients with conflicting medical instructions were found to be suffering from heart disease as well as kidney and type 2 diabetes or obesity. .
What happens is that these patients undergo medical examination by three different doctors for heart, kidney and diabetes. Every doctor knows the nature of his disease and gives specific instructions to the patient.
Thus the patient has to follow three different sets of medical instructions. But some instructions collide with each other, due to which one of the heart, kidney or metabolic system gets affected and the severity of the associated disease increases.
Dr. Sadia Khan decided that men suffering from simultaneous heart, kidney and diabetes or obesity medical disorders should receive the same set of medical guidelines to improve their health.
It was a new type of thinking that was greatly appreciated by American cardiologists. A few months ago, based on Dr. Sadia Khan’s research and experiences, the largest organization of cardiologists in America, the American Heart Association, announced a new type of disease called “CKM syndrome”. CKM syndrome) was named.
One patient three diseases
Patients suffering from “CKM syndrome” suffer from heart, kidney and metabolic system diseases (for example type II diabetes or obesity) at the same time. More attention and caution is required during treatment.
Dr. Sadia Khan felt this need and started propagating it. Thus, she became a messiah for millions of men who are victims of “CKM syndrome” but are unable to recover due to inadequate medical instructions from doctors. There are millions of patients of this medical disorder in Pakistan as well.
The American Heart Association then formed a committee to formulate appropriate and useful clinical guidelines for patients with “CKM syndrome”. This committee was chaired by Dr. Sadia Khan. The committee then developed a set of clinical guidelines that will be available from November 2023 on the American Heart Association website at the following address:
https://www.ahajournals.org/doi
/10.1161/CIR.0000000000001184
God willing, Pakistanis suffering from “CKM syndrome” can also benefit from these medical guidelines. There are five phases or stages of this clinical disorder. In the first stage, the risk of death is less. But as the stages increase, death in the form of heart attack or stroke starts hovering over the patient’s head.
Modern medical research
It should be remembered that according to modern medical research, if a person suffers from kidney and metabolic problems at the same time, then he is also at risk of heart diseases.
This proves that if one human organ or body system is damaged, it has negative effects on other organs or systems as well. A damaged organ can also affect other organs. Therefore, it is very important to treat the affected organ or body system as soon as possible so that it does not damage other organs.
Dr. Sadia Khan also played a fundamental role in inventing a new risk calculator. This measure shows whether a person after the age of 30 can be subject to “CKM syndrome”. This calculator has been named “PREVENT”. This risk calculator looks at how fat a person is.
How much sugar is in his blood, how much blood pressure or blood pressure remains, how fast the kidneys remove waste from the body and how much inflammation there is. That man will die prematurely.
Dr Sadia advises everyone not to let themselves become fat. The reason is that if there is more fat in the body, it produces chemical substances and makes a person prone to inflammation. This inflammation damages the blood vessels, heart, kidneys and other organs.
Due to this inflammation, the connection of our cells starts to break with insulin. This hormone enters the sugar in the blood into the cells. Due to the disconnection of cells and insulin, the amount of sugar in the blood increases and the person quickly becomes a diabetic.
Just avoid caffeine!
This was the mention of the achievements of Dr. Sadia Khan, now let’s learn about a sad incident that took place on American soil, which also has lessons for the people of Pakistan. Last year in September, a twenty-one-year-old American girl, Sarah Katz. Ordered a drink, Charged Lemonade, made by a local company.
Little did the poor girl know that this energy drink also contains 390 mg of caffeine. As soon as Sarah drank the drink, her condition worsened. A few hours later, she died of cardiac arrest. Thus caffeine took the life of a young woman full of life.
Sarah was actually suffering from a congenital medical disorder called “LQTS” (Long QT syndrome). In people suffering from this disorder, the heart often stops beating due to actions that do not have any negative effect on a normal person. A similar process is drinking a drink that contains high amounts of caffeine.
Sarah was an educated girl. She was aware of her birth defect. Unfortunately, she didn’t realize that Charged Lemonade has a lot of caffeine. This ignorance led to his death.
According to experts, one Pakistani in every 2,000 patients in Pakistan is suffering from “LQTS”. These people, especially if they are careless in eating and drinking, die due to heart failure. As awareness of this medical disorder is low in Pakistan.
Therefore, the loved ones cannot know how a healthy person became crippled in minutes. In modern times, such sudden deaths have become more frequent. “LQTS” also has a role in this wonder.
Caffeine is an organic compound found in the fruits, seeds, leaves and nuts of many plants. Among these plants, coffee and tea plants are the most popular.
Caffeine stimulates our central nervous system by inhibiting the release of sleep-inducing hormones and chemicals in humans. Taking it increases the release of two hormones, cortisol and adrenaline. These two hormones make a person mentally and physically active.
The problem for men with LQTS is that if three to four hundred milligrams of caffeine suddenly enters their body, the increase in the amount of the above-mentioned hormones can lead to cardiac arrest. And if this heartbeat is not restored in time, the person becomes dear to Allah.
This is what happened to Sarah. Too much caffeine increased the amount of both hormones in her body and caused her heart to freeze. She died due to lack of timely medical assistance.
It is important for the people of Pakistan to know if they are suffering from “LQTS”? The reason is that winter has come and the consumption of coffee and tea increases.
Therefore, if someone is suffering from “LQTS” and he does not know this and for some reason takes four to five hundred milligrams of caffeine in a day, his precious life may be in danger due to cardiac arrest. Is.
It should be remembered that caffeine, like most nutrients, has both positive and negative effects on human health. The trick to using it correctly is to use caffeine in moderation. Excessive consumption of any food makes it harmful to health, no matter how nutritious it is.
