Each Monday in February we've been broadcasting a special episode of "Heart to Heart with Anna" featuring different medical devices or products. Today's episode is the last of the four Medical Monday programs and features Greg Hummer, a Senior Technical Services Specialist for Abbott.

Most of the Medical Monday programs were relatively short, but Mr. Hummer talked about 4 different devices! Are you curious about the different kinds of pacemakers available? What makes an ICD different from a pacemaker? What kind of rhythm problems do pacemakers treat? What about leadless devices?  Are they science fact or fiction?

Tune in for a lesson on arrhythmias heart failure, the progression some Heart Warriors face as they age, and the devices that can improve their quality of life and even save their lives.

COVID-19 has worsened the problem of malnutrition in India because it has disrupted two critical programmes: the ICDS and Mid-Day Meal Scheme. However, after initial setbacks, the Union and state governments, with support from the World Food Programme (WFP), have worked to ensure food is delivered to those that need it the most. Sunila Dixit talks to Dr. Siddharth Waghulkar of WFP about challenges to the government’s nutrition schemes and the ways of tackling more further shocks to India's food security.
