Interventional cardiologist and Heartfulness trainer A. Sharath Reddy has published The Uncharted Artery – Heartfulness Compass, a collection of 25 essays linking his medical experience with meditation. At an event in Hyderabad, he said mental calm and clarity can support critical decisions in cardiac care, while a police commissioner highlighted similar pressures faced by officers.

Senior interventional cardiologist and Heartfulness trainer A. Sharath Reddy’s book on heart health, stress and meditation has been presented to Cyberabad Police Commissioner M. Ramesh at an event in Hyderabad.

The book, titled The Uncharted Artery – Heartfulness Compass, was presented at Medicover Hospitals in the Financial District on Saturday. It brings together Reddy’s experiences in cardiology and meditation through 25 essays. The essays examine stress, work pressure, uncertainty and the demands of modern life.

They also discuss mental calm, emotional balance and clarity of thought alongside physical heart health, according to the supplied report. Reddy said cardiac care often focuses on the physical heart, but a person’s mental state can also influence decision-making, particularly in high-pressure situations. He said that while doctors’ hands perform procedures, a calm and clear mind guides critical decisions.

The author is both a senior interventional cardiologist and a Heartfulness trainer. The book therefore combines his professional experience in medical care with his practice and teaching of meditation, as described at the event. Commissioner Ramesh said police personnel regularly encounter stressful situations and must make important decisions.

He said mental calm and clarity were particularly relevant to their work. Ramesh also praised Reddy’s effort to bring together medicine and meditation in the book. The supplied material does not include details of the book’s publication date, price, publisher or broader reception.

The event focused on the relationship between physical cardiac care and psychological steadiness. No clinical study or specific medical recommendation was cited in the supplied account.
