Dr. Monotosh Panja

A 72-year-old retired fisherman from a coastal village was brought by his grandchildren with worsening shortness of breath. Dr. Panja diagnosed severe tricuspid valve regurgitation secondary to untreated childhood rheumatic fever. The patient received a valve replacement and, despite limited family resources, recovered well with community-supported cardiac rehabilitation.

A 45-year-old single mother working three jobs presented with atypical chest pain. Dr. Panja identified Takotsubo cardiomyopathy triggered by extreme stress. Through counseling, medication adjustment, and social worker involvement for childcare support, she showed remarkable improvement within weeks without invasive procedures.

An 8-year-old schoolboy from an affluent family collapsed during sports day. Dr. Panja diagnosed Long QT syndrome and implanted a subcutaneous ICD. The family received extensive genetic counseling, and screening revealed the condition in his asymptomatic mother as well, preventing potential future complications.

A 60-year-old street food vendor with no family support presented with recurrent dizziness. Dr. Panja discovered complete heart block and arranged for a pacemaker implantation through hospital charity funds. The patient returned to work within days, with regular follow-up through mobile clinic visits.

A 28-year-old professional marathon runner from a wealthy family presented with unexplained syncope during training. Dr. Panja discovered a rare congenital coronary artery anomaly through advanced CT angiography. The athlete underwent successful minimally invasive surgery and returned to competitive running within 3 months with modified training protocols.
