1. EECP Center Mumbai
Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps improve blood flow to the heart and relieve symptoms of angina and heart failure.
EECP therapy uses inflatable cuffs wrapped around the legs to compress and decompress the blood vessels, promoting increased blood flow to the heart during the relaxation phase of the heartbeat.
Patients with chronic stable angina, heart failure, or those who are not suitable candidates for invasive procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may benefit from EECP therapy.
EECP therapy can help reduce angina symptoms, improve exercise tolerance, enhance the quality of life, and decrease the need for medication in some patients.
Each EECP session typically lasts about one hour and is usually conducted five days a week for a total of seven weeks.

Normal ranges can vary slightly between laboratories, but generally, TSH ranges from 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L. Consult your healthcare provider for specific reference ranges.

Yes, maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and avoiding iodine-deficient or excessive diets can help support thyroid health. Always discuss lifestyle changes with your healthcare provider.
The test involves a simple blood draw, which carries minimal risks such as slight bruising or discomfort at the puncture site.
The frequency depends on your health status and risk factors. Patients with known thyroid disorders may require regular monitoring, while others may need testing as part of routine health check-ups. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
3. ANTI CCP ANTIBODIES
The test helps diagnose rheumatoid arthritis by detecting specific antibodies associated with the condition.
A blood sample is collected and analyzed to measure the levels of anti-CCP antibodies.
No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.
Results are typically available within a few hours to 24 hours after the sample is processed.
Elevated levels suggest a higher likelihood of rheumatoid arthritis, but further clinical evaluation is needed for a definitive diagnosis.
