Abstract :

Patient of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) needs simple, effective and user friendly guidance to prevent and/or reverse their heart conditions. With our experience of treating about 100 thousand CAD patients with lifestyle based treatments in our 48 centers across India, Bangladesh and Nepal in the last 20 years, we developed a chart named â�?�?SAAOL Safety Circleâ�?. This chart is scientifically proven and can be used by the heart patients to judge the effect of their treatment and status of disease control. It contains 16 spokes in a wheel â�?�? each spoke representing a risk factor of CAD. This list of items/parameters are cholesterol, triglycerides, cholesterol/HDL ratio, BP, sugar control, BMI, tobacco consumption, walking, intake of fats/ oils, consumption of fruits and vegetables, intake of animal foods, Yoga based exercises, Meditation and stress management. Patients need a training of 10 hours to learn a holistic program developed by SAAOL to practice and follow this chart. This training includes heart care education, complete knowledge of lipids, BP and diabetes control, zero oil cooking, class on â�?�?Doâ�?�?s and Donâ�?�?tsâ�?, and Yoga. It takes 10 minutes to fill the chart and have been tried by tens of thousands of heart patients. There are three zones in this chart â�?�? Red (means high risk), Yellow (medium risk or prevention range) and Green (lowest risk or reversal range). We plan to use this chart for our future program â�?�? â�?�?Heart Attack Eradication programâ�? which will cover 10 million people.
