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. The collected raw data of the current patients were statistically analyzed to evaluate the results of the two groups to investigate the effect of using the combination of ultrasound and lymphatic drainage machine on blood serum triglycerides. In this study, the results are revealed statistically significant improvement of blood serum triglycerides before and after the treatment with more improvement had been achieved after 2 months after last session. Furthermore, the low frequency ultrasound technique plus lymphatic drainage technique improve blood serum triglycerides of chronic coronary atherosclerosis patients with high triglycerides and fat mass composition.
