Cystectomy surgery involves the removal of all or part of the bladder to treat conditions such as bladder cancer or severe bladder dysfunction.

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.

The Anti-Cardiolipin Antibody Test detects antibodies against cardiolipin, aiding in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and evaluating the risk of blood clots.

A blood sample is collected from your arm and analyzed for the presence of anti-cardiolipin antibodies.

No special preparation or fasting is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

Results are typically available within 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.

Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider for guidance on further tests or treatment options based on your specific condition.
