EECP therapy is a boon for long-term COVID patients

 


EECP is a non-invasive approach that has been found to enhance cerebral and heart perfusion. When EECP patients arrive at the clinic, they lie down on a treatment table and have three sets of pneumatic cuffs placed on their calves, thighs, and lower hips. The mechanism for the cuffs to consecutively inflate from the legs up to the hips during the heart's resting phase is a three-lead electrocardiogram. The cuffs deflate simultaneously with the heart's beginning of the contraction phase. The heart muscle and the rest of the body are both subjected to the regulated inflation and deflation. A patient may have up to 35 therapy sessions over the course of a week, each lasting an hour.

New research demonstrates that extended COVID, a condition that affects endothelial function and vascular health, is a disease. EECP is a non-invasive, disease-modifying treatment that has been proved in controlled clinical trials to enhance endothelial function.

Worldwide, an estimated 50% of COVID-19 patients have symptoms that continue six months after the acute phase of the infection, with the severity of the long-term symptoms varying.

The difference from baseline for patients with long COVID alone was significant for all endpoints, according to the researchers, and there was no discernible distinction between patients with long COVID without CAD and those with CAD.

Heart Attack: Life Threatening to Youngsters

Image
There was a time when heart diseases and illness were associated with old age. It was unbelievable that a youngster could be diagnosed with it. But today, things are different. Heart diseases, including heart failure, have been on the rise for the younger generation of the population due to sedentary lifestyle choices, changes in dietary habits, and variables like stress, anxiety, and obesity. Heart failure is a chronic illness that develops when the heart cannot pump blood effectively enough to meet the body's tissues' metabolic needs. Weakened heart muscles result in insufficient blood flow to the cells, which causes exhaustion, shortness of breath, and other heart failure symptoms. It primarily comes on by the accumulation of fatty deposits in the artery walls and excessive levels of cortisol pushed on by excessive stress. Causes of heart disease in Youngsters – * Smoking * High blood pressure * Diabetes * Coronary artery disease * Bad heart valves The illness ca

EECP Treatment: A Non-surgical Treatment for Angina and Heart diseases.

  Heart conditions like angina can be treated non-invasively, painlessly, and outside of the hospital with EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation). It has been suggested as an alternative to conventional treatments like angioplasty and bypass surgery for coronary artery disease (CAD) because it is safe and non-invasive. Up to 35 hours of EECP treatment may be administered, one hour per day. The patient is requested to take a seat comfortably while receiving therapy, and then his or her legs, thighs, and buttocks are wrapped in thick cuffs. Between each heartbeat, these cuffs expand and deflate at predetermined regular intervals. The cuffs are inflated when the heart is at rest (when it receives its oxygen supply) and deflate when rest ends, ideally before the subsequent beating. The timing of the cuffs is controlled and monitored by an electrocardiogram. A sensor is fastened to the tip of the patient's finger, and it measures the amount of oxygen in the blood as well as the pr

Ozone Therapy Benefits in Asthma

Image
  Asthma is a long-term respiratory disease in which the airways occasionally narrow, swell, and become too mucous-lined, frequently in reaction to one or more triggers. These episodes could be brought on by    exposure to an allergy or stimulant in the environment ·        cold air. ·        Air that is heated. ·        humid air. ·        effort or exercise. ·        Mental strain. ·        The most frequent causes of triggers in kids are viral infections like the common cold. Wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing are some of the symptoms brought on by this airway restriction. Broncho-dilators cause the tightness of the airways to relax. The majority of patients report feeling well in between episodes, though they may experience moderate symptoms and may experience prolonged exercise-induced breathlessness compared with people who are not affected. Some people with asthma experience chronic respiratory impairment. Others experience an intermittent disease
