  When it continuously circulates blood and oxygen throughout our bodies, the heart is vital to our health. The capacity of it to  control blood pressure and cholesterol  has a significant impact on our general quality of life. Making heart health a top priority is essential to living a long, healthy life. The heart, the engine of our circulatory system, works ceaselessly to make sure that each cell gets the oxygen and nutrients it needs to perform at its best. However, until a crisis occurs,  heart health is neglected  in our day-to-day lives, despite its significance. With an emphasis on heart attack prevention, this blog will examine essential techniques for preserving heart health and lowering the risk of heart attacks. We’ll provide you the information and tools you need to put your heart’s health first and discover how to lower your chance of having a heart attack, from lifestyle changes to preventative health measures. We must recognize the importance o...

  Heart disease remains to remain world's top cause of mortality, and is resulting in ongoing study and development of treatments that can enhance patient outcomes and quality of life. ‍ One such treatment that has gained acceptance as a non-invasive option for people with specific cardiovascular conditions is enhanced external counter pulsation, or EECP.   EECP was originally developed as a treatment for chronic angina, but it showed promise in enhancing heart health in general, providing advantages like improved blood flow, less symptoms, and increased exercise tolerance. This blog examines the main advantages of EECP treatment from leading Pune EECP treatment hospitals as well as its potential as a comprehensive, over time heart health solution. Key Benefits of EECP Treatment Increased oxygenation and blood flow The capacity of EECP treatment to improve blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body is one of its main advantages. ‍Pneumatic cuffs are wrapped around...

  Our body has an incredible way to heal independently, given the right nourishment and time. However, certain impairing like air bubble in the blood,  severe infections, or surgical wounds and scars don’t heal by themselves at times, and the body might need external help. In such cases, HBOT can aid immensely. HBOT stands for  Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy . This process requires the patient to breathe 100% oxygen in a special atmospheric pressurized chamber. Inhaling pressurized oxygen enables the oxygen to get dissolved in the blood plasma, which takes the oxygen level in the blood to four times than normal. Why would you breathe so much concentrated oxygen? Generally, the air that we intake has only 21% of oxygen. Therefore, increasing the level of oxygen intake not only has immediate short-term benefits but is also beneficial for the long term. The process results in innumerable advantages to the body, generating energy and suppressing upcoming inflammation in the body. ...

  The heart is the central organ of the circulatory system and life. But fast-paced life, reduced activity, and fast food consumption are summing up to cause heart diseases and complications. Therefore, doctors emphasize adopting a healthy lifestyle, eating habits, and  heart-strengthening exercise  to get rid of heart complications. 5 best exercises to strengthen your heart : Walking : Walking may seem simple, but it is highly efficient. Speed walking is known to be efficient in conditioning the heart. Brisk walking helps maintain the pulse rate while putting less pressure on joints than other exercises. The adaptability of walking makes it more common in people than other cardio-related exercises. So, have your earphones on, put on your favorite music, and start walking, morning and evening. Cycling:  Cycling has several cardiovascular and physical benefits. Cycling helps reduce cholesterol and  heart disease  risks. Besides this, cycling also helps maint...

  Cardiac Arrest, Heart Attack, or a Heart Failure – Is there a difference, or are these terminologies the same? In this article, let’s focus on the  difference between Cardiac Arrest and Heart attack . Here are two real-life incidences: Situation ‘A’ Navneet was 50 years old. One morning when he was walking out of the office cafeteria, he suddenly felt a pain at the center of his chest. Navneet thought it was just a heartburn and hence kept walking. As he stopped by his friend’s desk, he got very light-headed. His friend indicated that he looked gray and insisted on calling their emergency number. However, Navneet declined and chose to walk towards his cubicle through the long corridor. His legs felt rubbery as he approached his desk, and felt so disabled that he had to cling onto the cubicle walls to get some support and remain steady. Immediately thereafter, he was admitted to the emergency room and accordingly treated. Situation ‘B’ Suraj was in his office talking to his t...

  Overview:        The heart has two blood vessels: One that pumps blood to the heart (coronary artery) and the other that leaves the heart (coronary veins) with purified blood. Due to progressive plaque deposition in the coronary artery, the lumen (arterial passage for blood flow) narrows, building excess pressure on artery walls. The plaque obstructs  blood flow and reduces oxygen supply to the heart. This creates pressure on the heart to function without adequate oxygen and blood supply, which may lead to its collapse, generally called a heart attack. Here are some facts about coronary artery disease CAD: The prevalence of Cardiovascular Heart disease( CHD) is continuously rising in India. The Registrar General of India( RGI) reported that CHD has led to 17% of total deaths and 26% of adult deaths in 2001-2003, which increased to 23% of total and 32% of adult deaths in 2010-2013. When the occlusion(blockage) of the artery is increased to 7...

  Angioplasties and Bypass surgeries are the most common treatments to widen narrowed blood vessels and improve blood circulation for people with angina and blockages in the heart. However, some people may be unfit for angioplasty, such as those who have obstructions in arteries that run the length of the artery and are clogged with fatty plaques. Even if it is attempted, the chances of it happening again are very high. The chances of recurrence increase with each procedure for people who have had multiple procedures. Thus, an alternative such as  EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation)  is recommended for such people. Let’s discuss the  BENEFITS of EECP  over BYPASS or ANGIOPLASTY surgeries: Bypass Surgery (shortcomings) Angioplasty (shortcomings) Benefits of EECP This is not a permanent cure for angina or blockages, which is why people must undergo multiple bypass surgeries over the course of their lives. Plaque is not removed during Angioplasty, but it is c...
