“She gave you life, give her back years of it.”
If your mother is over 50, heart disease is no longer a concern — it’s a likelihood. And you can’t defend her with just almonds, yoga, or a multivitamin. In India, 8 lakh women lose their lives to heart disease every year, so NO, only men are not at risk of a heart attack. SAAOL Heartcare Delhi’s eminent heart and lifestyle expert, Dr. Bimal Chhajer, saw a surge in the number of women as heart disease patients. You would be surprised to know that most of them were over 50 years old. Some of them were diagnosed with stable 80-90% heart blockage and were desperate for a non-surgical heart blockage treatment like EECP Treatment in Delhi/NCR, as evident from their heart condition and weak heart muscle, they needed a safer alternative to bypass surgery or angioplasty.
Mother’s Day is coming. First of all, A BIG SHOUTOUT TO ALL THE MOMS OUT THERE, WE LOVE YOU!
And this time, let’s move beyond the sarees, flowers, and WhatsApp forwards. What we need to discuss is something deeper and of more substance — her heart. Not just the metaphorical one that loves you unconditionally. We mean her actual, beating, vulnerable heart — the one that has silently borne stress, cholesterol, sugar spikes, and years of sleepless sacrifices.
What she needs is not just another health check-up.
She needs a revolution in heart care. And that’s where EECP therapy comes in — a scientifically-proven, FDA-approved, non-invasive, pain-free therapy that is rescuing thousands of hearts like hers … Without A Single Incision.
Why This Blog is Unique (And Why You’d Want To Pay Attention)
You have already read enough blogs that say “walk 30 minutes daily” or “reduce salt.”
We’re not here for that.
This blog is for all of you who want to actually DO something powerful for your mothers — something concrete, tested, safe, and life-extending.
We’re not selling dreams. We are sharing what the cardiology world is not sharing enough of, particularly for women.
Why Women’s Heart Health Is More Neglected
You might already know that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women. But here’s what they don’t say:
- Women often don’t get the “classic” heart attack symptoms — no crushing chest pain. Instead, they get fatigue, nausea, breathlessness — and they’re dismissed as “just stress” or “gas.”
- Hormonal changes after menopause get hard on cholesterol, blood vessels, and insulin — and that’s dangerous.
- Even today, women are underrepresented in cardiac studies. Most treatments are tested and designed around male physiology. Your mother’s body doesn’t get the same attention. Let that sink in.
So yes, this is not all about prevention. It is about telling people to intervene before it gets to the irreversible point.
What is EECP Therapy? And Why Should Moms Over 50 Actually Care?
EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) is a non-surgical heart treatment in which large cuffs similar to blood pressure cuffs are placed on the legs and the thighs and inflated in synchronization with each heartbeat.
Sounds simple, right? But here’s the magic:
- It increases blood flow to the heart without surgery.
- It forms new natural bypasses (collaterals).
- It reduces angina (chest pain), breathlessness, and improves exercise tolerance.
- And it’s FDA approved, painless, and doesn’t require hospitalisation.
EECP is a game-changer for women over 50.
Because:
- They’re not the best candidates for open-heart surgery or stenting.
- They frequently suffer from small arteries, diffusive disease, which makes surgical bypass risky.
- They often have their symptoms ignored until it is too late.
EECP is a simple, gentle, and non-invasive way to heal and revitalise their heart, without cutting it open.
But Ma Is “Fine”…Isn’t She?
Is she though? Here are a few questions to ask:
- Does she feel tired walking to the market?
- Has she complained of shoulder stiffness, jaw pain, or bloating?
- Does she get breathless climbing stairs?
- Has she ever said, “Mujhse toh ab zyada kaam nahi hota”?
You might not think of these as heart issues, but in post-menopausal women, they often are.
It is for people who are already diagnosed with heart blockages or who are at high risk of them, and for people who would like to avoid a future of stents and bypass surgeries.
EECP Therapy Works Even When Angiography Says “Nothing Major”
Now, here’s the twist that no one tells you.
Sometimes, angiography shows no big blockage, but your mom still feels tired, unwell, or breathless.
Guess what?
That’s microvascular angina or coronary microvascular dysfunction — outrageously common among women. These small vessels do not appear on regular angiography. But they hurt like hell. And they’re also very, very bad for the quality of life.
What is even more surprising is that EECP can significantly enhance microvascular circulation. This is the missing link — it connects the “normal reports” to the “abnormal life.”
Is EECP Really That Safe? (Short Answer: Yes)
- No anaesthesia
- No blood loss
- No infection risk
- Can be performed even in diabetics or the elderly
- You lie down; you relax; you are made to feel better week by week.
Most women say, it feels like a leg massage. And it literally massages their coronary arteries from the inside.
Give Her More Years, Not Just More Gifts
Let’s pause for a second. Remember her hands — the hands the ones that made food for you, packed your tiffin, placed on your forehead when you had a fever.
They’ve become weaker. She never says it, but she feels it. Isn’t this the time to take care of her health like she once took care of yours? She won’t ask you to. She’ll say, “I’m fine.”
But you know the truth.
This Mother’s Day, gift her a few more years of dancing at weddings.
Of laughing with grandchildren.
Of living without chest pain or pills or fear.
EECP vs Bypass Surgery vs Stenting: What’s Best for Moms Over 50?
| Treatment Type | Surgery (CABG) | Stent (Angioplasty) | EECP |
| Invasive | Yes | Yes | No |
| Hospitalisation | 7–10 days | 1–3 days | No |
| Cost | High | Medium | Affordable |
| Risk | High (especially in older women) | Moderate | Very Low |
| Long-Term Relief | Yes, but with risks | Short-term | Long-lasting symptom relief |
Women’s heart health needs a gentle touch, not a hammer. EECP is that touch.
How to Tell If Your Mom Is A Good Fit For EECP
Perfect for women:
- Over 50 with diabetes or high BP
- Those who’ve had a previous angioplasty or bypass
- Those who refuse surgery (rightly so)
- Those who feel unwell, but doctors say “reports are normal”
- Who wants to avoid procedures but still heal
Bonus: Even if she’s already had surgery, EECP can improve heart function further.
