Nair (Director, Sri Sri Ayurveda Panchakarma), Dr. S. Ramasamy (International Medical Director of the International EECP® Therapists Association), Mr.Sujal Narayan (Trustee Global Heart Foundation) and Dr. Sanjay Shirbur (Director Enhanced Heart).

Ramasamy will create an educational program about the specialized treatment protocol combining Ayurvedic Panchakarma with EECP® Therapy to enhance cardiac and vascular health. The advanced combined Therapy will be provided to patients suffering from cardiovascular disease, as well as to patients who are high risk for developing cardiovascular diseases”. This advance combined Therapy will be soon implemented across India in Art of Living centers.
