Krishna Heart Institute

Krishna Heart Institute is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Krishna Heart Institute rather than just read about it. In short: The Krishna Heart and Super Specialty Institute, also known as Krishna Heart Institute or Krishna Hospital, located in Ahmedabad, India, was established in 2000 as a high-end medical facility, specialising in heart diseases. The hospital expanded its field of work into different medical branches and has performed over 25,000 procedures including 4,000 bypass surgeries.

Key takeaways

Krishna Heart Institute belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Krishna Heart Institute to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Krishna Heart Institute from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Krishna Heart and Super Specialty Institute, also known as Krishna Heart Institute or Krishna Hospital, located in Ahmedabad, India, was established in 2000 as a high-end medical facility, specialising in heart diseases. The hospital expanded its field of work into different medical branches and has performed over 25,000 procedures including 4,000 bypass surgeries. The hospital was acquired by Shalby Ltd. in 2012. It is a facility that seeks to gain income from the increase seen in medical tourism in India.

History Krishna Hospital was the first corporate hospital to be located in Ahmedabad. It was conceived by Dr. Atul Chokshi, an interventional cardiologist practising in New York City, his brother Animesh Chokshi and 100 other doctors, most of them living in the United States. Dr. Chokshi being a devote of the Hind deity Krishna and a reader of Bhagavad Gita, named the establishment "Krishna Heart Institute". Krishna Hospital is partnered with MedSolution, a medical tourism company located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was built with a capacity of 140 beds and specialised operating theaters.

Acquisition by Shalby The number of patients treated by Krishna Hospital declined. In October 2012, Shalby Ltd. announced that they had acquired 86% of the share in Yogeshwar Healthcare Ltd. which ran the Krishna Hospital. The cost of the acquisition was not revealed, but was speculated to be around ₹75 crore (US$7.8 million)-₹80 crore (US$8.3 million). Krishna Hospital would now serve as a place to direct the over-flow of the patients from Shalby hospital. A plan to renovate the hospital was passed and 110 beds were to be added to the 140-bed hospital.

Facilities and treatments Krishna Hospital, has some patients from the local areas of North Gujarat, Saurashtra and Rajasthan, but also markets its services to foreign nationals. It provides diagnostic and treatment procedures in cardiology and joint replacement. The hospital provides:

Angiography Angioplasty Coronary bypass surgery Joint replacement for hip and knee Plastic and reconstructive surgery Oncosurgery Minimally-invasive procedures The institute was the first hospital in the local area to set up a specialised ISO-100 operating theatre, where the air in the operating theatre is refreshed 130 times per hour. As of 2010, Krishna hospital is reported to have performed over 25,000 procedures including 4,000 open heart bypass surgeries.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Krishna Heart Institute

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Krishna Heart Institute claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Krishna Heart Institute before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Krishna Heart Institute ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Krishna Heart Institute

In research: Krishna Heart Institute appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Krishna Heart Institute in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Krishna Heart Institute is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2000 establishments in Gujarat, Heart disease organizations, Hospitals established in 2000, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Krishna Heart Institute outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
