Does Usage Of Slendertone Belt Help In Curing Mild Angina?
Question: I have a very mild angina which never bothers me. Can use slendertone safely
Brief Answer:
Some tests regarding angina, if you may
Detailed Answer:
Hello Madame. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
Slendertone, if used as recommended, especially for people with heart conditions, is safe. This means, with the current recommendations, one hour per day, per five days in one week, and no more than 35 hours per month.
As about the mild angina, as a cardiologist, I am obliged to recommend you to run some tests: an EKG (to evaluate the heart electrical system at rest) and an echo cardiogram (to assess heart structures, chambers and valves, by means of movement, size and function). Referring to the results, further testing may be recommended.
I hope I was helpful. If you have follow-up questions, I would be happy to help.
Best regards,
Dr. Meriton
