By Sabra Gibbens, MD

It wasn’t always lonely out here. I have been the only permanent doctor in my little country clinic north of Kingston for eight years now, and I previously felt tremendous camaraderie and connection with my hospital-based specialist colleagues and other family physicians in the area. But in the past two years, I have begun to feel alone.

My diagnosis of long COVID came in 2022, after months of investigations. The results of the bloodwork, pulmonary function tests, sleep study, head CT, Holter, and exercise stress tests all came back normal. When I met with a cardiologist to review my symptoms and the abnormal echocardiogram, she confirmed that the persistent shortness of breath, postexertion malaise, insomnia, headaches, and brain fog were caused by long COVID. She never attributed them to anxiety. I was grateful for the validation.

Thankfully, my symptoms have largely improved over the past two years, but because of this experience, I take prevention seriously. I am the weirdo who still requires masks or respirators for all staff and patients in the clinic. I am the outlier who has HEPA filters in the waiting room and exam rooms, who monitors CO2 with my air quality monitor, who cracks the windows, and who asks patients with respiratory symptoms to do rapid SARS-CoV-2 tests at home before they come in.

The primary focus of public health throughout the pandemic has been to prevent severe acute disease and to preserve hospital capacity. Prevention of long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), has always seemed like an afterthought, if it gets mentioned at all.

Why do emergency department reports and hospital discharge summaries not mention that my patient tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 (or had “a really bad cold” or “the worst flu ever”) 1 month before they presented to hospital with weakness, falls, confusion, dyspnea, heart failure, acute kidney injury, or non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction? Doesn’t that seem relevant? It does to me.

With the blessing of provincial medical officers of health and regional public health units, most institutions and the general public have adopted the “vax and relax” strategy, When it comes to COVID-19, most public health officials seem more concerned with meeting people where they are and with keeping people calm than with informing and guiding people about risks to their health. I wish I didn’t, but I now have doubts about the willingness of these officials to inform and guide physicians and the public about the next epidemic or pandemic.

The department of family medicine where I trained, as well as most family medicine clinics in my area, made masking and other precautions optional long ago. How quickly optional became rare, then peculiar.

In February 2023, I attended a recruiting event with dozens of local family physicians and residents. Rates of SARS-CoV-2 infections and wastewater levels were very high in our region at that time, so I wore a KN95 respirator. I did not expect to be the only one, but I was. Dang. Awkward.

Social media constantly reminds me that most of the medical community has moved on. It’s a steady stream of pictures of parties and crowded conferences and medical school classes with no one masking. My feed is occasionally interrupted by posts from similarly COVID-conscious physicians who are trying their best not to get COVID-19 or transmit it to patients under their care. Scattered across the Twitterverse, each one of us is a little island of perseverance.

I stopped attending in-person medical events because it is psychologically too difficult. I expect to be the only one masking in the movie theatre or grocery store, but among physician peers? Did they not get the memo? Did I not get the memo?

It wasn’t just one memo; 24 000 papers on the sequalae of COVID-19 have been published since the pandemic started.1 The British Medical Journal published an update on long COVID for primary care in September 2022, and guidance includes a time- and resource-intensive protocol for bloodwork, stress tests, pulmonary function tests, CT scans, and specialist consultations.2 Ontario Health published summary guidance for primary care regarding PASC in December 2022, but it has not been updated.3 The absence of any newer guidance suggests that interest in or funding for this topic has dwindled.

Anyway, I’m headed to a conference in a sunny place next week. It’s mostly an excuse to get away with my family while I brush up on some topics of interest. Of course, I am packing respirators, a CO2 monitor, and a portable HEPA filter. Weirdo? Outlier? Yep. Don’t care. Maybe I feel comfortable doing that for this conference because I’m unlikely to have any ongoing relationship with the other conference attendees. I care more about preserving my health so that I can continue practising medicine, taking care of my community, and enjoying my family than what others might think of me.

I do miss the camaraderie. What would it take to get that back? I had been hoping that the whole medical community would come together to advocate for clean-air standards, masking to protect against airborne pathogens, better vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics for PASC. I now realize this is unlikely to happen. I cannot wait for the world to change. I’ve got to find something in me, a mindset that will enable the reconnection, the old sense of belonging and shared purpose. I’m looking. I’ll keep looking.

Cardio said my echocardiogram ultrasound, exercise stress test, and week long heart monitor all showed no serious issues, my resting heart rate is fine, but that my heart rate does seem to rise very rapidly under even small amounts of stress (postural changes, taking stairs, casually walking around my house) and rises very high (160+ bpm according to the monitor) so now I get to be put on beta blockers to see if they work and if they do she said that is sufficient evidence to confirm for sure that it's POTS.

Obviously could confirm it as well with a tilt table test but those are TORTURE based off what I've heard from fellow POTSies so I am very thankful that she doesn't think that's necessary and will not be making me do one.

หัวใจเต้นเร็ว ภาวะอันตรายที่ต้องเฝ้าระวัง

https://acls.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Tachycardia-With-A-Pulse-Algorithm.jpg

เมื่อไรที่หัวใจเต้นเร็วจนรู้สึกได้ แม้ไม่ได้ทำกิจกรรมใดๆ ไม่มีอาการไข้ การเสียเลือดกะทันหัน หรือออกกำลังกาย อาจบ่งบอกว่าร่างกายของคุณกำลังผิดปกติ หรือเป็นโรคต่างๆ ได้ หากมีอาการหัวใจเต้นเร็วผิดปกติ พร้อมกับอาการใจสั่น หายใจหอบเหนื่อย อ่อนล้า นั้นอาจเป็นสัญญาณเตือนของโรคหัวใจเต้นผิดจังหวะอยู่ก็เป็นได้ ดังนั้นควรรู้เท่าทันและพบแพทย์เฉพาะทางด้านอายุรศาสตร์โรคหัวใจโดยเร็ว จะได้ดูแลรักษาให้ถูกวิธีก่อนสายเกินไป

หัวใจปกติทำงานอย่างไร?

หัวใจปกติ จะเต้นอย่างสม่ำเสมอ ด้วยความเร็วที่เปลี่ยนไปตามกิจกรรมของร่างกาย โดยในขณะพักหัวใจจะเต้นประมาณ 60 -100 ครั้งต่อนาที ในขณะเดินหัวใจจะเต้นเร็วขึ้นประมาณ 100 - 120 ครั้งต่อนาที และมากกว่า 120 ครั้งต่อนาทีในขณะวิ่ง อย่างไรก็ตามนักกีฬาหรือผู้ที่ออกกำลังเป็นประจำ อาจมีชีพจรในขณะพักระหว่าง 50 - 60 ครั้งต่อนาที

❤️ หัวใจเต้น 60-100 ครั้งต่อนาที : ถือว่าอยู่ในเกณฑ์ปกติ

❤️ หัวใจเต้นเกิน 100 ครั้งต่อนาที : มีภาวะหัวใจเต้นเร็ว

❤️ หัวใจเต้นเกิน 150 ครั้งต่อนาที : มีภาวะหัวใจเต้นเร็วมากเข้าขั้นอันตราย

รู้จัก…หัวใจเต้นเร็ว

ภาวะหัวใจเต้นเร็ว (Tachycardia) คือ การที่หัวใจเต้นเกิน 100 ครั้ง/นาที ซึ่งอาจเกิดจากหัวใจเต้นเร็วขึ้นเองขณะที่ร่างกายมีกิจกรรม เช่น การเล่นกีฬาหรือออกกำลังกาย ทำให้มีเลือดสูบฉีดไปเลี้ยงกล้ามเนื้อมากขึ้น ยิ่งถ้าคนอายุน้อยๆ หัวใจสามารถเต้นเกิน 150 ครั้ง/นาที ก็เป็นได้ แต่โรคหัวใจเต้นเร็วผิดจังหวะ คือ การที่มีวงจรไฟฟ้าหัวใจที่ผิดปกติ บางคนเป็นตั้งแต่เกิดแล้ว แต่ยังไม่แสดงอาการอาจจะแสดงอาการในช่วงวัยรุ่นก็ได้

การที่หัวใจเต้นเร็วสามารถบ่งบอกว่าหัวใจเต้นผิดจังหวะได้ หากมีอัตราการเต้นของหัวใจเกิน 100 ครั้งต่อนาที และ/หรือมีการเต้นผิดจังหวะร่วมด้วย ได้แก่

1. จุดกำเนิดหัวใจเต้นเร็วผิดจังหวะที่หัวใจห้องบน เกิดจากทางเดินของกระแสไฟฟ้าหัวใจเพิ่มขึ้นจากปกติ ทำให้เกิดกระแสไฟฟ้าลัดวงจรและไปกระตุ้นให้หัวใจเต้นเร็วจากภาวะปกติ

2. จุดกำเนิดหัวใจเต้นเร็วผิดจังหวะที่หัวใจห้องล่าง เกิดจากความผิดพลาดของคลื่นไฟฟ้าหัวใจที่หัวใจห้องล่าง ทำให้อัตราการเต้นของหัวใจเพิ่มขึ้น เมื่อหัวใจเต้นเร็วมากก็ทำให้ไม่สามารถสูบฉีดไปยังส่วนต่างๆ ในร่างกายได้

3. หัวใจเต้นเร็วกว่าปกติ จากการที่คลื่นไฟฟ้าหัวใจมีความเร็วมากกว่าปกติ ทำให้อัตราการเต้นของหัวใจเพิ่มขึ้น โดยส่วนใหญ่อัตราการเต้นหัวใจมักจะไม่เกิน 150 ครั้งต่อนาที

ปัจจัยที่ส่งผลให้หัวใจเต้นเร็ว

การเกิดภาวะหัวใจเต้นเร็วกว่าปกติ เป็นเพราะมีปัจจัยบางอย่างรบกวนการส่งสัญญาณไฟฟ้า โดยปัจจัยที่ไปรบกวนการส่งสัญญาณไฟฟ้า อาจเกิดได้ดังนี้

1. ปัจจัยภายนอกที่ไม่เกี่ยวกับหลอดเลือดและหัวใจ ได้แก่ อยู่ในภาวะตกใจ หรือไปออกกำลังกาย เสียเลือดมากจนซีด ขาดน้ำ ระดับน้ำตาลในเลือดต่ำ หรือเกิดภาวะไทรอยด์เป็นพิษ การดื่มชา กาแฟ เครื่องดื่มที่มีคาเฟอีน หรือเครื่องดื่มแอลกอฮอล์ ซึ่งก็จะส่งผลให้หัวใจเต้นเร็วได้

2. ปัจจัยภายในหลอดเลือดและหัวใจ ได้แก่ โรคกล้ามเนื้อหัวใจขาดเลือดเฉียบพลัน ผนังกล้ามเนื้อหัวใจหนาตัวผิดปกติ โรคหัวใจพิการแต่กำเนิด โรคลิ้นหัวใจ โรคความดันโลหิตสูง และ ภาวะที่เกิดจากไฟฟ้าหัวใจลัดวงจร

อาการหัวใจเต้นเร็ว

การวินิจฉัยหัวใจเต้นเร็ว

การจะรู้ว่าเรามีหัวใจเต้นเร็วหรือไม่นั้น แพทย์จะวินิจฉัยจากอาการของผู้ป่วย ประวัติทางการแพทย์ และการตรวจร่างกาย เพื่อตรวจสอบจังหวะการเต้นของหัวใจเบื้องต้น หรืออาจทดสอบเพื่อหาปัจจัยที่กระตุ้นให้เกิดภาวะหัวใจเต้นผิดจังหวะ โดยแพทย์อาจมีแนวทางในการวินิจฉัยการตรวจคัดกรองเพิ่มเติมด้วยเทคโนโลยีทางการแพทย์ ดังนี้

1. การตรวจคลื่นไฟฟ้าหัวใจ (Electrocardiogram: ECG) เป็นการตรวจมาตรฐานของหัวใจ โดยวัดการทำงานของไฟฟ้าในหัวใจ

2. การตรวจและบันทึกคลื่นไฟฟ้าหัวใจตลอด 24 ชั่วโมงโดยใช้ Holter Monitor เป็นอุปกรณ์ขนาดเล็กที่ใช้บันทึกคลื่นไฟฟ้าหัวใจตลอด 24 – 48 ชั่วโมง โดยผู้ป่วยจะติดเครื่องบันทึกไว้ติดตัวตลอดเวลา

3. การตรวจสมรรถภาพหัวใจขณะออกกำลังกาย (Exercise Stress Test: EST) เป็นการบันทึกคลื่นไฟฟ้าหัวใจขณะออกกำลังด้วยการเดินบนสายพานเลื่อน

4. การเอกซเรย์หน้าอก (Chest X-ray) เพื่อตรวจความผิดปกติของหัวใจ

5. การตรวจหัวใจด้วยเครื่องเสียงสะท้อนความถี่สูง (Echocardiogram) สามารถตรวจดูความผิดปกติทางโครงสร้างของหัวใจ

การรักษาหัวใจเต้นเร็ว

แพทย์จะพิจารณาตามสาเหตุ อาการ ตำแหน่ง และความรุนแรงของโรค โดยภาวะหัวใจเต้นผิดจังหวะบางชนิดอาจไม่ต้องทำการรักษา แต่ในบางชนิดที่ต้องทำการรักษาจะมีทางเลือกในการรักษา ดังนี้

1. การใช้ยาควบคุมการเต้นของหัวใจ สามารถลดความถี่และความรุนแรงของการได้

2. การจี้ด้วยไฟฟ้าผ่านคลื่นเสียงความถี่สูง (Electro Physiologic Study and Radiofrequency Ablation) เป็นการรักษาหัวใจเต้นผิดจังหวะโดยไม่ต้องผ่าตัด ด้วยการใช้สายสวนหัวใจผ่านทางหลอดเลือดที่บริเวณขาหนีบ ไปยังตำแหน่งต��างๆ ของหัวใจ เพื่อหาตำแหน่งของวงจรไฟฟ้าหัวใจที่ผิดปกติ แพทย์จะปล่อยคลื่นวิทยุความถี่สูงเป็นจุดเล็กๆ เพื่อทำลายเนื้อเยื่อหัวใจที่เป็นสาเหตุของหัวใจเต้นผิดจังหวะนั้น

3. การใช้ไฟฟ้ากระตุกเพื่อปรับการเต้นของหัวใจ โดยใช้กระแสไฟฟ้าจากเครื่องส่งภายนอกร่างกายซึ่งมีลักษณะเป็นแผ่นแปะที่หน้าอกของผู้ป่วยเพื่อปรับจังหวะการเต้นของหัวใจใหม่

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) or Bypass Heart Surgery in India for Foreign patients

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or heart bypass surgery, is a major heart surgery performed by an expert cardiovascular thoracic surgeon to improve blood flow to the heart. It is a treatment for coronary artery disease. Coronary Artery disease is a buildup of plaque in the heart's arteries. It narrows or blocks the coronary arteries in the heart. If not treated in time it can cause a heart attack or heart failure and can be fatal. Indian cardiovascular thoracic surgeons routinely perform CABG for both Indian and foreign patients with great success.

The Symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD)

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is caused by plaque buildup in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This process is called atherosclerosis. CAD is also termed a "silent killer", as the patient might not notice anything is wrong until he experiences a heart attack. Following are some of the symptoms noticed by the CAD patients:

Chest pain (angina), fullness or pressure.

Fatigue.

Heart palpitations, or sensations of a racing heartbeat.

Shortness of breath (dyspnea)

Swelling in the hands or feet.

Diagnosis of coronary artery disease

Once a patient notices the above-mentioned symptoms and visits a cardiologist for further diagnosis, the cardiologist will physically examine the patient and take a brief history of the patient. People who live a sedentary lifestyle, are obese, smoke, and have irregular and unhealthy food habits are more at risk of developing coronary artery disease. The doctor will recommend the following investigations to confirm the diagnosis:

Blood tests

 Blood tests can check blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)

This quick test checks the electrical activity of the heart.

Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram or heart ultrasound uses sound waves to create pictures of the heart. This common test can show blood flow through the heart and heart valves.

Exercise stress (treadmill) test

An exercise stress echocardiogram, also known as a stress echo or echo stress test, is a noninvasive ultrasound that measures how well your heart works when it's beating fast.

Nuclear stress test

A nuclear stress test or myocardial perfusion scan, is an imaging test that uses a radioactive tracer to show how well blood flows to the heart muscle. It can help identify areas of poor blood flow or damage in the heart.

Heart CT scan

Echocardiography – Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic’s 2025

What is Echocardiography?

Echocardiography is a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart. This non-invasive procedure allows cardiologists to assess the structure and function of the heart, helping to identify any abnormalities or potential issues.

At Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic, echocardiography plays a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring various heart conditions. It’s an essential tool for both routine check-ups and the management of complex heart diseases.

Echocardiography works by sending high-frequency sound waves into the chest, which bounce off the heart structures and are converted into images. These real-time visuals help doctors understand how the heart is functioning and whether there are any blockages, valve issues, or other concerns.

Types of Echocardiography

There are several types of echocardiography, each suited to different diagnostic needs:

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE): The most common type, where a transducer is placed on the chest to capture images.

Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE): A more detailed approach where a transducer is inserted into the esophagus for clearer images of the heart’s structures.

Stress Echocardiography: This test evaluates the heart’s function under stress, often after exercise or medication-induced stress.

Fetal Echocardiography: Used during pregnancy to assess the heart of the unborn baby.

Each of these methods offers unique insights, helping cardiologists at Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic tailor the right treatment plan for each patient.

Why Choose Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic?

Choosing the right healthcare provider is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic stands out for its:

Expert Team of Cardiologists and Specialists: With years of experience, the medical team is dedicated to providing top-tier cardiac care.

State-of-the-Art Equipment: The clinic is equipped with the latest echocardiography machines that ensure precise and clear heart imaging.

Patient-Centered Approach: At Khushi Heartcare, every patient receives personalized care, with treatment plans tailored to individual needs.

The Importance of Early Detection

Echocardiography is a vital tool for the early detection of heart diseases. Many heart conditions, such as valve disorders or heart failure, can progress silently, without obvious symptoms. Early detection through echocardiography can prevent complications, ensuring timely treatment and improved outcomes. At Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic, we emphasize the importance of regular heart check-ups, especially for high-risk patients, as this could potentially save lives.

Preparing for Your Echocardiogram

Before your echocardiogram, there are a few preparation steps to follow:

What to Expect: The procedure is painless and usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. You’ll be asked to lie down while the technician moves a transducer over your chest to capture images.

Preparation Guidelines: Generally, no special preparation is needed for a standard echocardiogram. However, for stress or transesophageal echocardiograms, you might need to fast for a few hours before the test.

Risks and Side Effects: Echocardiography is a safe, non-invasive procedure with no known risks. However, for transesophageal echocardiography, there might be mild discomfort due to the insertion of the transducer into the esophagus.

Interpreting Echocardiogram Results

The results of an echocardiogram can provide a wealth of information about your heart. Cardiologists at Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic will analyze the images to check for:

Heart Size and Shape: Abnormalities in the size or shape of the heart can indicate conditions like cardiomyopathy.

Heart Valves: Echocardiography can detect issues such as valve stenosis or regurgitation.

Blood Flow: Any abnormalities in blood flow through the heart chambers can signal blockages or inefficiencies.

Understanding your results helps guide the next steps in your treatment plan, whether it’s medication, lifestyle changes, or further testing.

Benefits of Echocardiography

Echocardiography offers numerous benefits, making it a preferred diagnostic tool:

Non-Invasive: There’s no need for surgery or invasive procedures.

Painless: The test is comfortable and doesn’t require any recovery time.

Accurate Diagnosis: It provides clear images of the heart in real time, helping doctors make informed decisions quickly.

At Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic, we rely on echocardiography to ensure accurate diagnoses for our patients.

How Echocardiography Helps in Treating Heart Disease

Echocardiography not only aids in diagnosis but also plays a critical role in ongoing treatment:

Guiding Treatment: Doctors can use the test results to determine the most appropriate treatment, whether it’s medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes.

Monitoring Progress: For patients with chronic heart conditions, regular echocardiograms help track the heart’s function over time and adjust treatments as needed.

Cost of Echocardiography at Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic

The cost of an echocardiogram varies based on the type and complexity of the test. At Khushi Heartcare Multispecialty Clinic, we offer competitive pricing and accept various insurance plans to make this essential test accessible to all patients.

Preparing for Your TAVI Procedure: What to Expect Before, During, and After

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly (aortic stenosis). With the growing demand for TAVI procedures, it’s crucial to understand what to expect at each stage of the process. Dr. Viveka Kumar, a renowned TAVI expert in Delhi, provides comprehensive insights into the preparation and recovery phases to help patients feel more informed and at ease.

Before the TAVI Procedure

1. Consultation and Evaluation

The journey begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Viveka Kumar will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may request diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms, CT scans, or blood tests. This evaluation helps determine your candidacy for the procedure and identify any potential risks.

2. Pre-Procedure Instructions

Once you are deemed a suitable candidate, Dr. Kumar will provide specific instructions to prepare for the procedure. These may include:

Medication Adjustments: You may need to stop or adjust medications, especially blood thinners.

Dietary Restrictions: You might be advised to refrain from eating or drinking for a specified time before the procedure.

Transportation Arrangements: Due to sedation and recovery considerations, arranging for a friend or family member to accompany you is essential.

3. Psychological Preparation

Undergoing a medical procedure can be anxiety-inducing. Dr. Kumar emphasizes the importance of addressing any concerns or fears. Consider speaking with a mental health professional or joining a support group to help manage anxiety.

During the TAVI Procedure

1. Anesthesia and Sedation

On the day of the procedure, you will be taken to the catheterization lab. The team will administer sedation to keep you comfortable. Depending on your specific case, general anesthesia may also be used.

2. The Procedure

Access Site: The most common access point is through the femoral artery in the groin, though alternative sites may be used depending on your anatomy.

Catheter Insertion: A thin tube (catheter) is inserted and guided to the heart, where the new valve will be placed.

Valve Placement: The replacement valve, which is usually balloon-expandable or self-expanding, is positioned within the old valve and expanded to take its place.

The entire procedure typically lasts between one to two hours. Dr. Kumar and his team will monitor your vital signs closely throughout.

After the TAVI Procedure

1. Recovery Room

After the procedure, you will be moved to a recovery area where medical staff will monitor you for any immediate complications. This phase usually lasts a few hours, during which you will gradually wake up from sedation.

2. Hospital Stay

Most patients stay in the hospital for one to three days. During this time, the medical team will conduct regular check-ups, manage any pain, and ensure your heart is functioning well with the new valve.

3. Post-Procedure Care

Upon discharge, Dr. Kumar will provide guidelines for post-procedure care:

Medication Regimen: You will likely be prescribed medications to prevent blood clots and manage heart function.

Activity Restrictions: Limit physical activity for a few weeks, avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise.

Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and valve function.

4. Lifestyle Modifications

Adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle post-TAVI is vital for long-term success. Dr. Kumar recommends:

A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Regular, moderate exercise as advised.

Smoking cessation and managing stress.

Conclusion

Preparing for a TAVI procedure can be overwhelming, but understanding the process can alleviate much of the anxiety. With Dr. Viveka Kumar, a leading TAVI expert in Delhi , guiding you through each step, you can feel confident in your care. By being proactive about your health and adhering to post-procedure recommendations, you can look forward to improved heart function and a better quality of life. If you or a loved one is considering TAVI, don't hesitate to reach out to Dr. Kumar’s practice for personalized care and support.
