SEHA’s Madinat Zayed Hospital demonstrates life-saving expertise in cardiac care

ABU DHABI, 13th May 2025 (WAM) — SEHA, a subsidiary of PureHealth, the largest healthcare group in the Middle East, successfully treated a 31-year-old patient who suffered multiple life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias on arrival in Madinat Zayed Hospital.

The cardiology team’s rapid response, including multiple resuscitations and immediate coronary intervention, saved the patient’s life, demonstrating the hospital’s advanced capabilities in managing complex cardiac emergencies.

The patient, who had no prior history of heart disease, presented at MZH’s emergency department with severe chest pain. An electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed an extensive anterior myocardial infarction, a life-threatening condition where a large portion of the heart’s front wall loses blood supply due to a blocked artery.

During the urgent catheterisation procedure, the patient experienced the first of three cardiac arrests. The hospital’s rapid response team successfully performed multiple resuscitations and cleared the blocked coronary artery, restoring normal blood flow to the heart.

After the procedure, the patient remained stable, and he experienced full recovery of his heart function, and no arrhythmias happened later. After optimising his medications, he was discharged in a stable condition to his normal life.

Dr. Hazem Hamzat, Consultant Cardiologist at MZH, said, “This case underscores the urgent need for individuals experiencing any symptoms of a heart attack, such as chest pain or discomfort, to seek immediate medical attention.”

“Time is of the essence in these situations. Our team of highly skilled cardiologists and advanced medical equipment played a pivotal role in saving this patient’s life. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of cardiac care to the community and ensuring that every patient receives the timely and effective treatment they deserve,” he added.
