Do’s and Don’ts to Prevent Heart Diseases Advancing age and family history are the two risk factors of heart disease that are beyond your control. Other than these factors, heart diseases can be prevented by diet and exercise. Even if you have no family medical history, it is essential to
Delivering Heart Care The Right Way Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major issue which is on the rise across people of all ages and walks of life. People with coronary artery disease suffer from frequent recurrent Angina. Angina is a term used to refer to the symptoms associated with
Why should you say ‘Yes’ to EECP When the coronary arteries that carry blood to the heart get blocked, it causes the following problems: Severe chest pain Shortness of breath when at rest Excessive shortness of breath while walking Tiredness Usually, the blockage of the coronary artery is treated with
EECP EECP, also known as Enhanced external counterpulsation, is a mechanical procedure where inflatable cuffs are wrapped around both of the patient’s legs. The leg cuffs inflate and deflate, simultaneously synchronizing with the heartbeat. EECP is an alternative for bypass surgery to treat angina and restore the blood flow. While it is
When it comes to heart disease, India has the leading cause of death for more than three decades. Various reasons contribute and lead to cardiovascular diseases such as:- Smoking Drinking Unhealthy diet/ improper diet High blood pressure Buildup of cholesterol Obesity Age Family history Inactivity etc. A majority of us
“Modern cardiology has given up curing heart disease”-Caldwell B Esselstyn, MD This is a shocking statement considering an impressive array of treatments available to today’s heart specialists. With coronary artery bypass surgeries, angioplasty, stent implementation plus many other sophisticated high-end tests with the odds seeming to favour 21st-century patients. Not
OBJECTIVE: Medically refractory angina remains a significant health concern despite major advances in revascularization techniques and emerging medical therapies. We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave myocardial therapy (ESMT) in managing angina pectoris. METHODS: A single-arm multicenter prospective study was designed aiming to determine the safety
BACKGROUND: Medical therapy for refractory angina is limited and the prognosis is poor. Experimental data suggest that the use of extracorporeal shockwave myocardial revascularization (ESMR) can contribute to angiogenesis and improve symptoms of angina and left ventricular (LV) function. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of
OBJECTIVES: Despite the advancements achieved by revascularization technique and pharmacological therapies, the number of patients with refractory angina (RA) is still high, carrying together a poor prognosis. Experimental data and small clinical studies suggest that the use of extracorporeal shockwave myocardial revascularization (ESMR) might improve symptoms of angina in patients
INTRODUCTION: Refractory Angina Pectoris (RAP) dramatically affects patients’ life quality and medical costs. External Shockwave Myocardial Revascularization (ESMR) improves the cardiac blood flow thanks to its pro-angiogenetic action on ischaemic tissues. We hereby describe our experience of ESMR in RAP patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study encompassing
