1. G6PD
G6PD deficiency is a genetic disorder that affects the red blood cells, making them more vulnerable to breaking down prematurely.
Symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, or a family history of G6PD deficiency may indicate the need for this test.
The G6PD test is a simple blood test with minimal risks, similar to any standard blood draw.
Management includes avoiding triggers such as certain medications, foods, and infections that can cause hemolysis.
Early detection in newborns can prevent severe jaundice and related complications by guiding appropriate care and dietary adjustments.
2. By Pass Surgery
Bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is a procedure to replace damaged or blocked arteries in the heart with blood vessels from another part of the body.
Patients with severe coronary artery disease, where the arteries are significantly narrowed or blocked, may need bypass surgery to improve blood flow to the heart.
A surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm, or chest and connects it to the blocked coronary artery, bypassing the blocked section to improve blood flow.
Risks include infection, bleeding, heart attack, stroke, and reactions to anaesthesia, though serious complications are rare.
The surgery typically lasts between 3 to 6 hours, depending on the number of arteries being bypassed and the patient’s condition.
3. 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.
