CONVENTIONAL THERAPY PROCEDURES FOR HEART PROBLEM
Currently, there are few ways of common therapeutic procedures to treat the heart problem.
a)Angioplasty and stenting (PCI)
b)By-Pass Graft (CABG)
c)Rotational Coronary Atherectomy (Rotoblade)
a)ANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING (PCI)
Also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
PCI is accomplished with a small balloon catheter inserted into an artery in the groin or arm, and advanced to the narrowing in the coronary artery.
The balloon is then inflated to enlarge the narrowing in the artery.
Typically, a small metal coil called a stent is implanted in the clogged artery to help prop the artery open and reduce the risk of it narrowing again.
When successful, PCI can relieve chest pain of angina, improve the prognosis of individuals with unstable angina, and minimize or stop a heart attack without having the patient undergo open heart coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
b)CORONARY BY-PASS SURGERY (CABG)
Also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).
During CABG surgery, a section of healthy blood vessel(either artery or vein) — often taken from inside the chest wall or the lower leg — is attached above and below the blocked coronary artery.
This creates a new passage, and oxygen-rich blood is routed around the blockage to the heart muscle.
CABG may need to be repeated if the grafted arteries or veins become blocked, or if new blockages develop in arteries that weren't blocked before.
Taking medicines as prescribed and making lifestyle changes as doctor recommends can lower the chance ofa graft becoming blocked.
c)ROTATIONAL CORONARY ATHERECTOMY
Coronary Atherectomy is an invasive procedure to remove the blockage from the coronary arteries and allow more blood to flow to the heart muscle and ease the pain caused by blockages.
Rotational atherectomy uses a high speed rotating shaver to grind up plaque. It can be used instead of, or along with, balloon angioplasty
If a treatable blockage is noted, the first catheter is exchanged for a guiding catheter. Once the guiding catheter is in place, a guide wire is advanced across the blockage, then a catheter designed for lesion cutting is advanced across the blockage site. A low-pressure balloon, which is attached to the catheter adjacent to the cutter, is inflated to expose the lesion matter to the cutter.
The cutter breaks the blockage up into microscopic pieces. These tiny pieces are stored in a section of the catheter called a nosecone, and removed after the intervention is complete. Together with rotation of the catheter, the balloon can be deflated and re-inflated to cut the blockage in any direction, allowing for uniform debulking (What is debulking)
OUR SOLUTION FOR YOUR HEART PROBLEM
Non Invasive and Outpatient treatment
Very low risk
Higher success rate
Much lower treatment cost as compared to Angioplasty or Coronary Bypass Surgery
Eliminate other medical cost such as ward stay, nursing care etc.
Very effective to relief Angina and Coronary Artery Disease problem.
Known as Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP)
EECP or Enhanced External Counter Pulsation is a mechanical procedure in which long inflatable cuffs (like blood pressure cuffs) are wrapped around both of patient's legs.
While patient lies on the bed, the leg cuffs are inflated and deflated with each heart beat.
This is accomplished by means of a computer, which triggers off the patient's ECG so that the cuff deflate just as each heartbeat begins, and inflate just as each heartbeat ends.
When the cuffs inflate, they do so in a sequential fashion, so that the blood in the legs is "milked" upwards towards the heart.
Each treatment will last for 1 hour.

The heart, which is about the fist size,
pumps more than 100,000 times a day of about 2,000 gallons of blood throughout
the body.
Made up of 4 major chambers, namely right
atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle.
It has 4 valves to ensure the blood in the
heart flows in the same direction and prevents the blood from flowing
backwards.
The heart structure
THE
WORKING PRINCIPLE OF HEART
The right side of the heart receives less
oxygen blood (deoxygenated blood) from
cells and organs all over the body.
The deoxygenated blood will be pump to the
lung to be re-oxygenated through Pulmonary Artery.
The left side of the heart receives rich
oxygen blood (oxygenated blood) from the lung.
It will pump the oxygenated blood to the whole of body
through Aorta
When blood travels around the body, it will
supply Oxygen and nutrients to tissue through capillaries.
At the same time, blood will also picks up
Carbon Dioxide and waste material away from tissue.
The vein returns the deoxygenated blood to
the right atrium of the heartand the
cycle begins again.
CORONARY ARTERIES
As blood circulates through the Aorta, some
of the blood flows through much smaller blood vessel that surrounds the heart, called Coronary
Artery which supplies Oxygenated Blood to the heart.
This separated circulatory System is called Coronary
Circulation which keeps the heart nourishes and oxygenated
The two main branches of the artery is
called Right Main Coronary Artery and Left Main Coronary Artery.
HEALTH PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH HEART
ANGINA
severechest pain due toischemia(a lack of blood, hence a lack of oxygensupply) of theheart muscle, generally due to obstruction or spasm of thecoronary arteries(the heart's blood vessels).
Chest pain or discomfort above the diaphragm
that occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen-rich blood.
Angina may feel like pressure or squeezing
in the chest. The pain can radiates to the left or right arm and shoulders,
neck, jaw and back . It can also feel like indigestion.
It is not a disease but a symptom of heart
problem, usually associated with Coronary Artery Disease.
There are 3 types of Angina, which are
listed below:
a)Stable Angina
Most common type. It
occurs when heart works harder than usual and has regular pattern. The pain
usually goes after a few minutes after resting or taking medicine.
b)Unstable Angina
Doesn’t follow a pattern. It
occurs with or without physical exertion and may not be relieved by resting or
taking medicine. It is very dangerous and requires emergency treatment. It is a sign that heart attack may happen soon.
c)Variant Angina
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
a condition in which plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply your heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood.
It occurs when patient
is at rest and the pain can be severe, usually between midnight and early
morning. Medicine can relief this type of Angina.
.These arteries supply the heart muscle with
oxygen-rich blood.
Plaque is made up of fat, calcium, protein
and other substances found in the blood. When plaque builds up in the arteries,
the condition is called atherosclerosis .
Plaque narrows the arteries and reduces
blood flow to the heart muscle. It also makes it more likely that blood clots
will form in the arteries. Blood clots can partially or completely block blood
flow.
•The lack of blood flow which supplies oxygen
to the heart causes the heart muscle to damage and leads to heart attack.
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
A condition where heart’s function as a pump
is inadequate to deliver oxygen rich blood to the tissue in the body. It may be
caused by:
a)Diseases that weaken the heart muscle.
b)Diseases that cause stiffening the heart muscle such as
viral infections and iron overload.
c)Diseases that increase the Oxygen demand by the body tissue beyond the capability of the heart such
as Anemia and Hyperthyroidism
CHF affects many organ’s function ability
such as:
a)When kidney get less oxygen supply, it will loose its
ability to excrete salt and water. This causes more fluid to retain in
the body. The congestion of the fluid in body
will also put more strain to the already weak
heart and cause it to swell.
b)The lungs may become congested with fluid and decrease the ability of a person to exercise.
c)Excessive fluid may retain in liver thereby impairing the
ability to get rid off the toxin and produce essential proteins.
d)The intestines become less efficient to absorb nutrients
and medicine.
e)Fluid may also accumulate in extremities, resulting in
swelling of the
ankles and feet (edema).
Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac arrest is the sudden loss of cardiac function, when the heart abruptly stops beating.
It stops normal breathing, and the pulse and blood pressure will be absent. Unless resuscitative efforts are begun immediately, cardiac arrest leads to death within a few minutes. This is often referred to as "sudden death" or "sudden cardiac death (SCD)."
Ventricular fibrillation is the most common cause of cardiac
arrest. It occurs when the normal, regular, electrical activation of heart muscle contraction is replaced by chaotic electrical activity that causes the heart to stop beating and pumping blood to the brain and other parts of the body.
Permanent brain damage and death can occur unless the flow of blood to the brain is restored within five minutes.
Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)
Occurs when one of the coronary
arteries that supply blood to the heart are blocked, preventing enough oxygen
from getting to the heart. The heart muscle dies or becomes permanently damaged.
If the blood flow is blocked, the
heart starves for oxygen and heart cells die.
A heart attack can occur as a
result of the following:
1.The slow build
up of plaque may almost block one of the coronary arteries. A heart attack may
occur if not enough oxygen-containing blood can flow through this blockage.
This is more likely to happen during exercising.
2.The plaque
itself develops cracks (fissures) or tears. Blood platelets stick to these
tears and form a blood clot (thrombus). A heart attack can occur if this blood
clot completely blocks the passage of oxygen-rich blood to the heart. This is
the most common cause.
EECP or Enhanced External Counter Pulsation is a mechanical procedure in which long inflatable cuffs (like blood pressure cuffs) are wrapped around both of patient's legs.
While patient lies on the bed, the leg cuffs are inflated and deflated with each heart beat.
This is accomplished by means of a computer, which triggers off the patient's ECG so that the cuff deflate just as each heartbeat begins, and inflate just as each heartbeat ends.
When the cuffs inflate, they do so in a sequential fashion, so that the blood in the legs is "milked" upwards towards the heart.
This non-invasive technique provides
augmentation of diastolic blood flow and coronary blood flow to the heart similar to
the intra-aortic balloon pump (Angioplasty), utilizing the serial inflation of
three sets of cuffs which wrap around the calves, thighs and buttocks.
While the heart is at rest, the treatment
cuffs inflate from the calves to the thighs to the buttocks, which increases
the blood supply to the arteries feeding the heart muscle.
Just before the next heart beat, all the
cuffs deflate at the same time, which decreases the amount of work the heart
has to do.
Inflation and deflation is timed to the
patient's ECG and the arterial pressure waveform is monitored noninvasive.
The overall hemodynamic effect is to provide
diastolic augmentation and thus increase coronary perfusion pressure; to unload
systolic cardiac workload and therefore decrease myocardial oxygen demand; and
to increase venous return and subsequently, cardiac output.
The treatment need to be done 1 hour a day,
for five days a week which last for seven weeks, amounting to 35 sessions.
BENEFITS OF EECP
Low-Risk Treatment
for Angina
A low-risk treatment for angina and heart
problem, EECP gently but firmly
compresses the vasculature of the legs to increase blood flow to the heart,
ultimately reducing or eliminating chest pain (Angina) What is Angina?Click here
No Recovery Time or Pain
EECP can relieve angina and heart problem
without surgery and hospitalization or the associated pain and recovery time.
A Natural Bypass
EECP increases blood flow to the heart, by
opening and expanding networks of small blood vessels within the Coronary
Arteries called collaterals. These channels can create "natural
bypasses" around clogged arteries, boosting blood supply to oxygen-deprived
areas of the heart.

Active Again
EECP can reduce or eliminate the frequency
and intensity of chest pain and remove the need for angina medication. After
treatment, patients are usually able to enjoy everyday activities, which
frequently include moderate exercise, walking, gardening and travelling.
Generally, EECP is used to treat :
Chronic stable angina (lack of blood to the heart that
causes severe chest pains)
Coronary artery disease, CAD. What is CAD?Click here
High blood pressure
Congestive heart failure What is congestive heart failure?Click here
