Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of low frequency ultrasound plus lymphatic drainage on blood triglycerides in cardiac patients (chronic coronary atherosclerosis patients with high triglycerides and fat mass body composition. Forty female patients with age ranges from 40 to 50 years were selected from Palestine hospital and they were chronic atherosclerotic patients and were assigned into 2 groups according to their BMI based on the classification of the world health organization. Each patient in the two groups (Group A and Group B) was evaluated before and after 24 sessions treatment program by using the combination of ultrasound and lymphatic drainage machine. The assessment of blood serum triglycerides by UDICHEM-310 ANALYSER have been done before and after the end of 24 sessions and Re-assessment after 2 months from the last treatment session.
