Heart Patients At Work

An associate professor of cardiology, who was working on contractual basis at Delhi government-run Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital, has been "terminated" from service after the death of three patients with heart blockage earlier this month.

J Jayalalithaa, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, is critical after a cardiac arrest on Sunday at Chennai's Apollo hospital and is on assisted breathing.

One in three patients who suffered heart failure and were subsequently hospitalised for the first time have not returned to work a year later, a study reveals.

"Sitting, watching TV, working at a computer and driving in a car are all sedentary behaviours and we need to take breaks from them."
