The Public Relation Departments (PRDs) are struggling to build strong bonds between the patients, accompaniers and health institutions. This research aims to examine the difference between PR practices of Peshawar's public and private hospitals by employing the Grunig and Hunts Four Models as a theoretical framework. The respondents were selected for the research via the purposive sampling technique. A semi-structured interview protocol was developed for this purpose. The study shows that the PROs in these hospitals follow none of the four models. It is recommended that hospitals should hire PR professionals, arrange health communication l...

This study aims to compare outcome of MACE after DEB Vs DES in treatment of patients within stent restenosis (ISR) presented with chest pain. Methodology: The current study was Quasi experimental study carried out at the Department of Cardiology, MTI-HMC Peshawar for duration of six months from 21 April 2021 to 21 Nov 2021. In this study, 94 patients in DEB group and 94 patients in DES group were followed for 06 months to look for development of MACE. All data was collected through a well-defined proforma. Data was entered on computer software SPSS version 22. Results: In DEB group, 52 (55.3%) male patients and 42 (44.7%) female patients were recorded whereas in DES group, 57 (60.6%) male patients while 37 (39.4%) female patients were recorded. In DEB group, 15 (16.0%) patients were recorded with MACE whereas in DES group, 38 (40.4%) patients ...

Depression is 4-5 times as common in heart failure (HF) patients as in the general population, and it might confer a higher risk of developing HF and negatively affect prognosis in established HF. To determine the frequency of depression among patients presenting with chronic heart failure. This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in cardiology department Hayat Abad Medical Complex Peshawar from November 2011 to April 2012. In this study a total of 121 patients were observed by using 13% proportion of depression in heart failure, 95% confidence level and 6% margin of error, under WHO software for sample size determination. Mean age was 55 +/- 1.26 years. Sixty-eight percent patients were male and 32% were female. Fifteen percent patients had chronic heart failure for ...

Yet, it can also present unusually with symptoms ranging from epigastric discomfort, fatigue and vomiting. A 48 years old male presented to the hospital with severe retrosternal chest pain for 6 hours duration. ECG showed acute anterior wall STEMI. Primary PCI to LAD was performed successfully. He had been complaining of intractable hiccups for the past one year for which he had been seen in gastroenterology clinics multiple times with no relief in hiccups. After we performed primary PCI to LAD, he had complete resolution of hiccups. He is still under regular follow up with us for the past 4 months with no active complaints of hiccups. This case conclude that Intractable hiccups can be the only symptomatic manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD) in some patients. Therefore, a high suspicion of CAD should be kept in mind especially in patients...
