@swatigar @drbarvind @drsaurabhmd101 @sakshi827 Agree. MRI done. Our working diagnosis is RV cardiomyopathy (restrictive pattern). No EMF. Normal systemic venous drainage. Over past 3 years, their sats have improved to >90%. RV diastolic fn better. Yet not device closed though. Thought of waiting some more. 6 years old now

Smoking is a major cause for coronary artery disease in <30years, and is associated with high mortality. Chest pain in the young should not be ignored! https://t.co/8NDuzjpgCC @AnubhaNijhawan @shailajateacher @ShashiTharoor @OfficialJipmer @IPHSRAK

India/Kerala: CFR 2.8%/0.8%
India/Kerala: Tests per positive case: 20/64.
India with all its limitations still deserves credit. Bashed for testing low, battle hardened Kerala is no easy pushover💪@ShashiTharoor @ShelbyKuttyMD @vijayanpinarayi @shailajateacher @drsaurabhmd101

The lockdown has helped India control Covid case fatality. We, the 2nd most populous country, are testing better. Kerala is leading the way as well. Come on India, let's break the chain. @shailajateacher @vijayanpinarayi @narendramodi @ShashiTharoor

The impact of a nation wide curfew for a country of 1.3 billion is going to be humungous wrt epidemiology of covid 19, quite unlike in other countries. If this can be repeated a few more times over the next 2 weeks, while ensuring hand washing, then we'll be making history.

@shahidafridi1 India did well. Must mention Afridi's captaincy in resurrecting the Pak team. Great spirit shown by both teams.
