Ahwinbhai Rana, 59 years, from Daman, underwent bypass surgery in USA in 2005. He underwent multiple balloon angioplasties for recurrent angina problems over next two years. In-spite of these repeated procedures he developed angina interfering in his daily routine life. He was extremely nervous and defeated when he joined cardio uno program at the advice of his physician Dr. Uday Desai of Valsad city. Proper dose adjustment of his medicines, in-depth explanation of facts about the control of the risk factors and intensive yoga- stress management by individual and group counseling - moderate level ECG monitored exercise program of just 20 days significantly reduced his angina and anxiety. Even now his angina is well under control and he is able to walk 30-40 min daily at moderate pace without angina.

Harendrabhai Shukla, 68 years, having significant angina even at low level activities was rightly advised bypass surgery for his three vessel heart disease ( 77%, 80%, and 90%).

He could walk only for 5-10 min. at 1.5 kmph speed initially.
