How Nanotechnology Can Help Heal Hearts in India

down-arrow
November 13, 2018
 

Nanotechnology is one of the prime technologies around which allied cutting-edge technologies are centered. This is a world of skilled-inclusion which directly implies that any technology is bound to be integrated into any domain for human betterment and what can be more beneficial that human healthcare and medicine? Cardiac care is one of the most widely researched areas of medical science and with the development of biotechnology, engineering advancements have been invariably integrated into the same. When it comes to technical expertise and its diffusion in the heart-related medical field, much can be said about the benefits of nanotechnology and the marked impact that it has had on this field, in India and elsewhere in the world.

Nanotechnology is not just a therapy-based factor these days, as its uses also include diagnosis. This brings to us the field of nano-imagery i.e. imaging of the presumably effected tissues and cellular blocks at the nano-level. The site-specificity and the accuracy factor of nano-imagery while diagnosing the cardio-vascular conditions is extensive and goes beyond simple detection. Scientists have classified various material forms for this technology for medical application and as an aid to treatment and cure. These material forms include Polymeric and Inorganic nanoparticles, nano wires (useful in surgery and diagnosis), nano shells (for thermal killing of malignant cells), Quantum Dots (QDs) for in-vitro imaging, Carbon nanotubes (tissue engineering), Dendrimers (for bio-sensing) etc. The features that allow nanoparticles to be extra beneficial for usage in cardiac care are the ultra small dimensions and uniform size distribution pattern, extremely specialized optical, physico-chemical, electrical, magnetic properties, the flexible/tuneable size, pattern, texture, surface topology and the uniquely high cellular penetration power.

Cardio-vascular imaging and treatment is one of the prime emerging utilities of nanotechnology and there are various factors that are responsible for this. Some of such key features are:

  1. Image contrasting ability:

    QDs act as fluorescent enhancers, which means that the overall image contrasting ability is much higher and the level of clarity is very high.

  2. Stability and non-hazardous nature:

    The nanoparticles that enhance the contrast are highly stable and non-hazardous in nature in comparison to the chemical-based probes.

  3. Surface Tuneable properties:

    Nanoparticles are surface tuneable i.e. they can be modified with a substance of choice. This results in far more flexibility and ease of utility.

  4. Target Specific Delivery:

    Given the intricate nature and the level of precision required for utility in cardio-vascular health segment, this is a very essential property of nanoparticles that ensures highest accuracy and target specific action.

  5. Biocompatible size distribution:

    This makes nanoparticles accommodate with other bio-components within cellular structure.

In India, treatment of heart-related issues is highly costly and can lead to a financial contingency for your loved ones. Therefore, taking a cardiac care insurance policy a long way in ensuring financial safety for you and your family. HDFC Life offers HDFC Life Cardiac Care - a highly beneficial plan for ensuring that your finances stay safe in case of any heart-related disorder. For more details, check the mentioned link:
