A Second Life After Heart Blockage – Without Surgery

An Exclusive Interview with Dr. Sukhbindar Singh Sibia, India’s Pioneer in Non-Surgical Heart Treatment
Heart disease is no longer a death sentence. India now offers non-surgical heart treatments trusted by millions worldwide.
In a world where millions are told that even bypass surgery or angioplasty cannot help them, a quiet revolution is underway in Ludhiana, Punjab, at Sibia Medical Centre Ludhiana. A growing number of patients from across India and abroad, are discovering a second chance at life – without the fear of surgery.
We sat down with Dr. Sukhbindar Singh Sibia (MBBS, MD), founder of Sibia Medical Centre and one of India’s leading voices in non-invasive heart care, to learn how therapies like EECP, ESMR, ACT are changing lives. He is also the President of the International ECP Association.

Q: Dr. Sibia, Sibia Medical Centre, Ludhiana is considered the best heart hospital in Ludhiana, and patients across India and abroad are searching for “safe heart treatment without operation.” As a Healthcare centre in Ludhiana tell me is it really possible to avoid bypass surgery?
Dr. Sibia: Yes, absolutely. Many of our patients come to us when told they need to have bypass surgery or angioplasty. They are frightened – not just of the operation itself, but of the risks, and expenses. At Sibia Medical Centre, we offer non-surgical heart treatments like External Counter Pulsation, better known as EECP or ECP therapy, Extracorporeal Shockwave Myocardial Revascularization (ESMR), and Chelation therapy that improve blood flow naturally and painlessly.
It is what some call a “natural bypass treatment”, and some call it “lunch break treatment” as it done without any hospital admission, is safe, and has no cuts, stents, or scars. We help patients avoid bypass surgery naturally—that is our mission.

Q: What are EECP, ESMR, and Chelation Therapies, and why are they gaining popularity? You can tell us as yours is considered the best medical treatment centre in Punjab as far as non-invasives treatments are considered.
Dr. Sibia: These therapies are especially helpful for enhancing blood flow and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) in patients who have blocked arteries or weak heart and are:
- Weak, elderly, unfit and cannot undergo surgery
- Have chronic chest pain or fatigue even after stent and heart bypass surgery
- Refuse surgery and seeking heart treatment without surgery
EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) is a U.S. FDA-approved therapy that helps the body grow new blood vessels around blocked arteries. We place inflatable cuffs on the legs and arms, that rhythmically pump coordinated with the patient’s heartbeat. This improves oxygen supply to the heart, like a natural bypass.
ESMR is a German Technology that uses ECG synchronized, echocardiography guided sound waves to stimulate formation of new heart blood vessels.
American College for Advancement of Medicine (ACAM) protocol for safe Chelation therapy is to detox heavy metals like lead, mercury, or arsenic using special intravenous drugs, used for:
- Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (e.g., angina, peripheral artery disease)
- Diabetes complications
- High blood pressure
- Arthritic complaints
Where beneficial we supplement these with Ozone Therapy, and IV Therapies like Myer’s drip, Linus Pauling Oral Chelation formula etc.

Q: Are these therapies affordable and accessible for international patients?
Dr. Sibia: Absolutely. Compared to treatment costs in the West or the Middle East, EECP treatment cost in India is far more affordable. Many patients from Pakistan, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and even the UK choose India because of the personalized care, multilingual staff, and affordable international heart care packages we offer.
We assist with:
- Teleconsultation before travel
- Visa documentation
- Airport pickup
- Safe, nearby guest accommodations
We also have Urdu-speaking staff, making the entire experience comfortable for Pakistani and Gulf patients.
Q: Sibia Medical Centre is considered the “Best EECP centre in Ludhiana and India.” What makes your centre different?
Dr. Sibia: At Sibia Medical Centre, we believe that healing should be scientific—but also compassionate. We have over 30 years of experience treating heart patients without surgery. Our team creates personalized cardiac rehabilitation plans for each patient—often combining EECP, Chelation, and dietary detox protocols.
More importantly, we communicate in Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, and English. Patients do not feel lost or confused. They feel heard, respected, and cared for.
Q: As a heart specialist doctor in Ludhiana do you have examples of patients who avoided surgery and recovered successfully?
Dr. Sibia: Many. One patient from Dubai, Mr. Ahmed, came to us after being told he needed urgent bypass surgery. He searched for “EECP therapy in India” and contacted us via WhatsApp. After 35 sessions, his chest pain disappeared, and today, he lives an actine life.
Another example is a patient from Lahore. He feared surgery. After one month of treatment here, his energy returned, his breathlessness stopped, and he avoided the trauma of operation. These stories are why we say, before surgery, seek a second opinion.
Q: What is your message to readers?
Dr. Sibia: My message is simple: If you or your loved one has been told surgery is the only option, do not lose hope. There are safe, trusted, non-surgical treatments available. Our therapies are proven, affordable, and performed with compassion and faith.
We welcome patients from all over the world who want to heal without fear.
