There is tremendous fear among people about heart
disease and most of us believe that heart disease is usually fatal and only expensive treatments
like angioplasty or bypass are the remedies for this ailment. As a result when heart disease is
diagnosed, most of the people become extremely worried about the survival and exorbitant medical
expenses. But the fact is that many such patients can be treated with conservative careful medical
management and diet-supervised exercise - stress management program with much less expenditure and
good lasting benefits. Here are some striking examples of patients who had significant-stable
heart disease or had recurrent heart problems even after angioplasty / bypass and did quite well
with less expensive medical management and supervised exercise-lifestyle management program.

I was introduced to cardiac rehabitation programme over
fifteen years ago when I had a small heart episod. in every such situation there is a great amount
of fear in the patient and family coupled with uncertainty about future.One does not know whom to
turn to who can provied reliable advice, guidance and help, especially with implications of
medical treatment and interventions. Cardiac rehabitation programme becomes a boon in such
circumstances. Over the long period of time that I have been associated with such programmes i
found several benefits and adventages.

Cardio Uno has been doing yeoman's service in the field
of prevention and rehabilitation of heart disease under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Shailesh
Desai. The programme has benefited hundreds of people not only in the city of Ahmedabad but also
in Gujarat in general. There is great need for more such programmes are viable in private practice
which creates a hope that other medical practitioners can consider this as an alternative career.
He has as also shown an alternative mode of service to the socitey to philanthropic organizations
at Cardio Uno Plus where he has created state of the art facilities which are made available at
affordable prices under the sponsership of Manibhai Bros. Charitable trust.

I was introducse to Dr. Shailesh Desai somewhere in the
year 1989 from my diabettic and related problems.
|
|
|
|
I had undergone the rehabitation programmed at the
Pritamnagar Health Care Unit under the guidance and care of Dr. Shailesh Desai nearly for six
months. All my problems of Breathing, sleep, triedness and diabetes were solved then after.

At the interval of every 2-3 years I used to go
under the programme to recharge myself. I am sure many more have been benifited with such
programmes introduced by Dr. Shailesh Desai, Which ultimately lead him to set up Cardio-uno and
Cardio-Uno-plus.

Medical facilities have expanded a lot in Ahmedabad,
many NRI's have started selecteing Ahmedabad for thier various surgerirs like heart and knee
replacesment, but there is still a crises of confidence in the mind of patients i.e. whether the
treatment given is really required by him? I belive efforts of Dr. Shailesh Desai in this
directions of providing most economic and simple treatment to comman man has strenthened the trust
ofpatients in the noble profession.
