Don’t let your weight drag you down

If you’re suffering from obesity, weight-loss surgery could change your life. Euracare offers multiple services and procedures to assist with weight loss and improving longevity.

You should consider bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) if you cannot achieve weight loss through a healthy diet, regular exercise, or prescribed medication. Although weight loss surgery is not a quick fix or an easy way out, it is a safe alternative for individuals struggling to achieve sustainable weight loss results.

Different bariatric surgeries are performed depending on the patient’s individual needs. Gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy are the most common procedures. Bariatric surgery decreases the stomach’s storage capability and reduces food intake making you feel full sooner than usual. Specific bariatric procedures also restrict calorie absorption.

There are endless benefits to bariatric surgery that not only enhance your physical performance and appearance but also improve your emotional well-being:

A weight reduction will result in:

• Increased mobility and better quality of life
• Decreased chance of type 2 diabetes
• Improved cardiovascular health and reduced blood pressure
• Alleviate other medical conditions
• Eliminate obstructive sleep apnea
• Reduce joint pain

All the gain without the pain

If you’re looking for a less invasive method to assist with weight loss, Wellness Centre Nigeria offers electro muscle stimulation therapy (EMS).

Electro muscle stimulation (EMS) stimulates muscle contraction using electrical impulses, strengthening weak muscles, reducing swelling, relieving pain, and assisting wounds throughout the healing process.

With EMS therapy, you can quickly burn 2500 calories per session, which equals 4-6 hours of conventional training.

Other than weight loss, EMS has multiple benefits, which include:

• Reduced pain when performing physical activity
• Muscle contraction to help maintain muscle tone and strength
• Tissue and injury healing

What is interventional cardiology?

Interventional cardiology uses nonsurgical, catheter-based procedures to treat conditions such as:

• Congenital heart disease
• Heart valve abnormalities
• Clogged or weak blood vessels and restricted arteries

What to expect when visiting an interventional cardiologist:

• A medical history evaluation and physical exam to assess blood pressure, heart health, blood vessel function and lung health
• Imaging and lab tests
• Condition diagnosis and treatment plan

When should you see an interventional cardiologist?

Your primary care physician can address general heart health problems and illnesses like excessive blood pressure and high cholesterol, which raise your risk for heart disease. But you might need to see an interventional cardiologist if you experience a significant heart or blood vessel problem.

Consult an interventional cardiologist as soon as possible if you:

• Have received EKG testing variations that suggest a blockage in your coronary artery
• Had a heart attack and experienced unstable angina or heart valve dysfunction
• Require heart procedures, including angioplasty, cardiac catheterisation, or heart valve repair

Conditions treated by interventional cardiologists:

• Angina – Narrowed arteries from coronary heart disease that cause chest pain
• Heart attack – When blood clots stop the circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the heart
• Heart failure – Your heart isn’t strong enough to pump enough blood throughout your body
• ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) – A severe heart attack that happens when one of your heart arteries is blocked
• Arrhythmia – Abnormal heart rhythm (your heart beats too slow, too fast, or irregularly)
• Myocarditis – Heart inflammation
• Cardiomyopathy – An enlarged or weakened heart muscle
• Congenital heart defects – Heart issues and defects occurring at birth

At Euracare, we ensure that you receive world-class medical treatment. Our interventional cardiology team develops your care plan utilising a multidisciplinary approach best suited to your individual needs.

If you’re suffering from a heart condition or are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, book an appointment with our cardiology experts.
