The definition of "small vessel disease" is generally used for coronary heart
patients with thin heart vessels. In these patients, arteriosclerosis progresses rapidly and heart disease occurs at a young age; Difficulties are also encountered in its treatment.
Atherosclerosis means that blood lipids and
calcium settle on the vessel wall as a result of damage to the inner surface of the vessel. The protrusion of this accumulation, called "Atherosclerosis Plaque", into the vascular space, narrows the vascular space and creates an obstacle to blood flow through the vessel.
Atherosclerosis is a process that begins in adolescence. Genetic predisposition, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, obesity, smoking and similar harmful habits, stressful life, diabetes, blood lipids and high blood pressure are risk factors that accelerate arteriosclerosis. Depending on its excess, arteriosclerosis progresses rapidly or slowly. Coronary heart disease
occurs when there is enough stenosis in the heart
vessels to prevent blood flow.
What are the negative effects of vascular thinness?
Let's visualize a size of 2 mm. In a cardiac vessel with a diameter of 2 mm, a pinhead-sized atherosclerosis plaque can cause serious stenosis in that vessel. And by blocking blood flow, it can cause chest pain with exertion. On the other hand, an atherosclerosis plaque of the same size does not obstruct blood flow in a vessel with a diameter of 3-4 mm. It grows quietly over the years. Until it reaches a size that narrows the space of this vein by 70%, complaints of chest pain with exertion begin. It is easily understood from this explanation that arteriosclerosis narrows the vessels widely and at an early age in people with small vessels. In people with relatively wide veins, it takes years for significant stenosis to appear.
Another disadvantage of thin veins is regarding treatment. In patients with small-vessel coronary heart disease, it is not possible to widen the stenosis with a balloon-stent or to create new vascular pathways with bypass surgery. Even if these procedures are applied, in a short time, sometimes within 2-3
months, new narrowings occur and the disease develops again.
How can prevention and treatment be done in small vessel disease?
The most effective way to widen small vessels was to do regular aerobic type
exercise, starting from a young age. That is, it is necessary to walk briskly, swim and dance at least 2-3 days a week, 30 - 45 minutes a day. Exercise both widens the small vessels and protects the vessels
against atherosclerosis.
Natural with EECP is the only treatment option for people who have not exercised since their young ages and have developed coronary heart disease.
It is Bypass Treatment. This bloodless, non-surgical treatment, which is applied to the body from the waist down as a massage in harmony with the heart rhythm, ensures that the heart vessels fill more fully with each heartbeat. Thus, at the end of this treatment, which is applied for 1-2 hours to 35-40 hours a day, the heart vessels, which are constantly filled with high pressure, expand. In addition, the thinner capillaries between the large heart vessels are also opened, and the vascular network of the heart is enriched. This enriched vascular network creates natural bypasses that bring blood to heart areas that cannot receive sufficient blood due to vascular stenosis. In this way, the patient's complaints disappear as his heart's blood flow improves, and treatment is provided.
