Heart flow mapping

February 3rd, 2010

Detecting Heart’s Flow without Angiography

Ludhiana (India): Cardiologists depend on images of the heart to diagnose heart ailments. Now a “3D map” for early detection ofcoronary artery disease is possible with FDA (USA) approved Cardio-vascular Cartography (CCG). It is a non-invasive procedure using electrodes and a highly sensitive transducer while the patient is lying down. A high-speed computer analyses the recordings and gives the patient’s complete cardiac and circulatory status in just a few minutes. Such data was earlier not possible through non-invasive methods.
The record obtained includes details such as decreased blood flow to different parts of the heart, amount of blood pumped for every heartbeat, relative oxygen demand, chance of blood clotting in the heart’s blood vessels, chances of sudden cardiac death by arrhythmias and the state of the heart pump.
The 3D maps of the heart have an accuracy of over 80 percent in detecting heart disease. Angiography measures the quantity of blockages in the heart but does not inform about the status of blood flow or causes of reduced blood flow. Blockages in the arteries contribute to only 70 to 80 per cent of the reasons for the reduced blood flow. All patients having blockages in arteries do not necessarily have reduced blood flow or need bypass surgery as is commonly thought.
At Sibia Medical Centre Cardio-vascular Cartography is helping non-invasive and painless mapping of the heart to detect coronary heart disease early. Many of these patients can be treated without resorting to angioplasty or bypass surgery with Artery Clearance Therapy, Chelation Therapy and External Counter Pulsation (ECP / EECP). Dr. Sibia Director and consultant at the centre informed that decreased blood flow to the heart muscle and not blockages cause angina chest pain due hence blood flow to the heart muscle and not anatomical blocks are important.
CCG is a good screening test for everyone after 30 years age and for those at high risk of heart disease such as those having a high incidence of heart disease in family, diabetes, High blood pressure, overweight, increased cholesterol, smokers and those leading a sedentary and stressful lifestyle. CCG can also inform in which patients aspirin, yoga or meditation can be helpful.

Health remedies are among the most important things you can utilize to gain full control of your health. Those that are natural are even better for you than others. Your health is all you have and you need to care for it in any way you can. Health remedies are available to help you to do this.

If you are sick, you probably take a trip to see the doctor. But, what if the way you are living is what is causing your health to drop? Do you eat the right way? Do you exercise regularly?

Experts suggest pregnant mothers not do so and feel relaxed.

Generally speaking, the fetal heart beat is 120~160 per Minute. But some pregnant mothers have good ability for oxygen reserve which causes a transient increase in fetal heart beat rate and than drops to the normal condition. This is a normal response in Developing Nervous System of Fetus. Some pregnant mothers feel involuntary nervous when find out fetal heart beat rate is out of the normal condition. They barely seem to realize that too much nervous will cause fetal upset and increase in fetal heart beat rate. At last this may cause fetal hypoxia.

1. Within 30 minutes after getting up

2. Within 60 minutes after lunch

3. Within 30 minutes before going to bed
During those three periods, oxygen supply to fetus decreases because of the pregnant mother’s body needs more oxygen for digesting food and body condition changes. So it can report the fetal health in a proper way.

Tips on using Doppler Prenatal Baby Heart Monitor:
1.Refer to the way which the gynecologist use at the hospital, pregnant mothers must lie flat and use the baby heart monitor probe to find the fetal heart.

New website launched that provides guidance and solutions for heart health vitality

August 30th, 2008

Heart Health Resources will guide you through the many different factors that affect the health and vitality of your heart and body.

James McCreary, the owner of the site, provides useful information related to the human body with helpful resources to address declining health. Educating people about heart health and suggesting solutions to improve their health is the service provided by the site.

Coronary artery disease or atherosclerosis is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the arteries that carry blood to the heart. As the artery walls thicken, the passageway for blood narrows. Sometimes platelets gather at the narrowing, forming a clot that decreases or prevents blood flow to the region of the heart supplied by the artery. Heart Health Resources provides detailed information on the issues pertaining to the heart and circulation and suggests suitable measures to tackle the problems of heart disease and poor circulation.

Coronary heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, both men and women. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a major cause of some serious disabilities. Healthy eating habits can help to reduce heart risks but it is equally important to know other ways that can help you to improve the condition of your heart.

Your heart beats 100,000 times a day—that’s more than 36 million times a year. The more knowledge you have about heart disease and suggestions of how to avoid or correct it, the better your chances are of having a healthy heart.
