What is it?
When a patient has a heart problem, the first test that a doctor usually orders is an ECG. However on many occasions, an ECG trace taken after the problem has settled, may not reveal much. Ideally, if an ECG trace can be taken during the problem, it may help a doctor clinch the diagnosis. EHAS makes that dream come true. It not only helps record an ECG trace during the problem, but it also transmits the trace, using a small device and ordinary telephone line, to a specialist at Escorts Heart Institute. The specialist reviews the ECG, may talk to the patient or his relative if required, and advise the immediate management, thus on many occasions picking up life threatening diagnoses and saving lives.

EHAS is first of it kind in India, and opens a new dimension in providing remote yet instant cardiac attention. It's a development in cardiac telemedicine that has already been proven across Europe & USA where it has FDA approval. The service is available 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. EHAS is backed by a newly commissioned Heart Command Centre (HCC) and a fleet of mobile cardiac care ambulances. EHAS thus provides the highest possible level of domiciliary life saving service hitherto unknown in our country.
