Disease: A Pilot Study based on SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Author(s): Rohit S, Jagdish H, Chandrakant C, Sujit N and Rahul M*
Introduction: Treatment of atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease is a yet unresolved mystery. Reversal of
atherosclerosis is studied by intra vascular ultrasound. Effect of atherosclerosis regression on myocardial perfusion
is studied by SPECT myocardial perfusion (SPECT-MPI). Ayurvedic therapy in the form “ ischemia reversal
programme” (IRP) was studied with SPECT-MPI to see its effect on myocardial perfusion.
Methods: The present open label study involved fourteen IHD patients who underwent IPR (21 IRP sittings) in
Madhavbaug clinics, Maharashtra. The inclusion criteria was patients (aged between 40-70 years) with BMI >20
kg/m2 and positive for stress test induced ischemia. However, patients with recent myocardial infarction/known hypo
or hyper thyroidism/chornic kidney disorder were exc.. Read More»
