Dr. Mohanlall: Where Innovation Meets Compassion

Medicine evolves faster than any single practitioner can follow. But at Heart and Health, we believe it’s our duty, not just to keep up, but to lead. Dr. Mohanlall has spent over 25 years doing exactly that: seeking out breakthrough therapies, rigorously testing them, and bringing only the safest, most effective options to his patients.

His relentless pursuit led him to External Counterpulsation (ECP), a non-invasive treatment developed in the West and perfected in China by Prof. Zheng Zhenseng. While the world moved on, Dr. Mohanlall studied it. He waited, watched, and prepared. And in 2022, after 24 years, he launched Heart and Health to finally bring ECP to South Africa, not as an alternative, but as a first choice.

For decades, patients with angina were funneled straight into stents or bypass surgery—often without being told a non-invasive option existed. Dr. Mohanlall saw this gap not as a limitation, but as a calling.

At Heart and Health, ECP isn’t just a service, it’s our philosophy in action. It embodies our name: caring for the heart through methods that honor the body’s ability to heal, while promoting long-term health without unnecessary risk. After performing over 2,000 hours of ECP, Dr. Mohanlall knows: when used early, it can reduce or even eliminate the need for invasive interventions.

Of course, ECP isn’t for everyone. It’s not suitable for children with congenital heart disease or those with severe aortic valve regurgitation. But for the right patient, it’s transformative, stimulating the growth of natural collateral vessels that restore blood flow to oxygen-starved areas of the heart, easing chest pain, boosting energy, and returning life to living.

"I didn’t open Heart and Health to offer another clinic,” says Dr. Mohanlall. “I opened it to change the conversation, to prove that the gentlest path can also be the most powerful.”

Our Vision

A future where every heart patient has access to safe, effective, non-invasive treatments before ever considering surgery.

Our Mission

To evaluate, validate, and deliver breakthrough therapies like ECP - backed by science, guided by ethics, and centered on your well-being.

Our Belief
