Patient Experience
As a 28-year-old marathon runner, I was devastated when diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. Dr. Rana Rathor Roy not only performed a complex ablation but created a tailored cardiac rehabilitation plan that allowed me to complete the Berlin Marathon just 18 months later.
My 7-year-old daughter was born with a rare congenital heart defect that multiple doctors said was inoperable. Dr. Roy pioneered an innovative minimally invasive procedure that repaired her ventricular septal defect without open-heart surgery - she's now thriving in school sports.
During a business trip to Kolkata, I suffered a massive heart attack at 45. Rushed to Manipal Hospital, Dr. Roy's emergency angioplasty saved my life using advanced thrombectomy techniques I'd never heard of. His team's rapid response prevented any muscle damage.
My 82-year-old mother's aortic stenosis was deemed too risky for surgery elsewhere. Dr. Roy performed a transformative TAVI procedure through her wrist instead of groin - she was walking the same day and back to her temple visits within a week.
As a professional musician with mitral valve prolapse, I was terrified surgery would end my career. Dr. Roy's minimally invasive robotic repair preserved my sternum and I was playing sitar professionally again within two months - a miracle of modern cardiology.
Our family witnessed Dr. Roy's extraordinary dedication when he stayed through the night during my husband's complicated triple bypass, then personally called us every day during recovery. His compassionate care matched his surgical excellence.
I developed peripartum cardiomyopathy after delivering twins at 36. Dr. Roy's aggressive medical management and ventricular assist device allowed my heart to recover fully - I'm now celebrating my babies' first birthday with a healthy heart.
Diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis at 52, I faced progressive heart failure until Dr. Roy implemented a novel immunosuppression protocol combined with cardiac resynchronization therapy. My ejection fraction improved from 25% to 45% in six months.
My teenage son's mysterious syncope episodes were finally diagnosed as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia by Dr. Roy. His genetic testing and personalized beta-blocker regimen have kept our boy safe for three years without incident.
After surviving cardiac arrest during a cricket match at 19, Dr. Roy identified my previously undiagnosed Brugada syndrome and implanted a subcutaneous ICD that's invisible under my skin. I've returned to university life with complete confidence.
Dr. Roy managed my complex case of rheumatic heart disease with such cultural sensitivity, incorporating Ayurvedic principles alongside modern medicine. His holistic approach addressed both my mitral valve issues and overall wellbeing.
When my wife's heart transplant rejection began, Dr. Roy pioneered a desensitization protocol using immunoadsorption that other centers said was impossible. Two years later, she's traveling and gardening like she never had heart disease.
As a fisherman from the Sundarbans, I never imagined receiving such advanced care for my ischemic cardiomyopathy. Dr. Roy arranged financial assistance and performed coronary artery bypass grafting that let me return to my boat within months.
My rare cardiac tumor was misdiagnosed for years until Dr. Roy's sophisticated imaging revealed a benign fibroma. His minimally invasive robotic removal left barely a scar and ended a decade of diagnostic uncertainty.
During Kolkata's worst cyclone, Dr. Roy waded through flooded streets to perform emergency pericardiocentesis on my daughter who developed cardiac tamponade. His dedication transcended the terrible weather conditions that day.
