Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Restoration of carotid IMT to a non-pathological state, supported with positive changes in functionality and relief from associated symptoms: 1. Clinical investigations will be compared pre - post treatment to evaluate percent changes in IMT and cardiac function as a mark of reversal of atherosclerosis and relief from symptoms associated with blockages in blood vessels due to atherosclerosis. IMT measurements are taken as standard to evaluate atherosclerosis and 2D echo taken for cardiac perfusion. 2. Functional changes considered on the basis of symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness, stamina of walking or performing daily chores. Measured at baseline and at the end of 3 months of treatment. | — |
