Download Research Paper

Background: Heart problems are considered a global epidemic,with cardiovascular disease being spread all over the
world. Ischemia Reversal Program (IRP) is a form of Ayurvedic therapy which combines use of panchkarma and allied
therapy in the management of ischemic heart disease (IHD). Aim and objectives: The present study was planned to
study the effectiveness of IRP therapy in patients of myocardial ischemia attending Madhavbaug clinics in western
Maharashtra. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study conducted from May 2019 to October 2019,
wherein we identified the data of patients suffering from IHD (positive for inducible ischemia from stress test) of either
gender or any age, and who had attended the out-patient departments (OPDs) at West Maharashtra, India.The data of
patients who had been administered IRP with minimum 7 sittings over a span of 12 weeks were considered for the study.
Results:In the present study, medical records of 50 patients of IHD were analyzed.At the end of IRP therapy there was
statistically significant reduction in weight, body mass index, Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure. VO2 peak was
improved at the end of therapy i.e. 26.26±6.47 mL/kg/min as compared to baseline i.e. 15.21±5.99 mL/kg/min and the
difference was highly statistically significant (p<0.001).DTS improved from -3.56±7.89 at baseline to 3.22±8.18 at week
12 of IRP therapy and the difference was highly statistically significant (p<0.0001). Conclusion: Findings of present
study suggest that IRP can serve as effective therapeutic option for the management of ischemic heart disease.
