EECP Treatment

“Surgery is always second best if you can do something Else, It’s better.”

Dr. John Kirktin (A Heart Surgeon) Mayo Clinic, USA

People suffering from angina or heart failure may not be able to do day to day work easily Such as walking, Going in market, climbing steps. For all these heart patients, there is non-invasive EECP treatment available that clinical experience has shown to be safe and to have benefits in cases such as angina and heart failure. Around 90% patients who completed this treatment experienced significant symptom relief that may last longer than bypass surgery or stent.

WHAT IS EECP TREATMENT?

Introduced in 1960, purpose of EECP treatment is to increase the amount of blood going back to the heart, providing more blood for the heart to work with. US FDA and NHS-UK cleared EECP Treatment for patients suffering from Heart disease. Since then Thousands of installations are done Worldwide.

Cost Effective

It is less costly than Bypass Surgery or Stent.

Surgery Free

It is completely non-Surgical Treatment without any pain.

US-FDA Approved

Approved for medical Use By world’s well-known organization.

No Side Effects.

Patient feels more energetic & alive after every Session.

How EECP Treatment Works?

EECP Treatment pumps blood from the legs upward to the heart, while the heart is at total rest. It improves Blood Circulation throughout the body and helps encourage Angiogenesis.

EECP TREATMENT

Lay on Bed

EECP machine is design to comfort patient during 1 hour treatment. Bed is curved and mold to cofy patient's body to relax muscles.

Air Cuffs

Three large cuffs are wrap around the calves, thighs and buttocks. These cuffs are attached to the machine and synchronises with patient's rhythm.

ECG Synchronization

EECP machine is attached to the patient with 3 lead ECG. This ECG feeds in machine to work according during treatment.

Patient's Heart & EECP

During the treatment, these cuffs sequentially inflate and deflate, squeezing the calves, thighs and buttocks to the rhythm of the heart while not interfering with the body’s natural functions.

External Counter Pulsation.

It is Non-Surgical and totally safe for cardiac patients suffering from IHD (Ischemic Heart Diseases) such as Angina and Heart Failure.

Purpose of EECP Treatment is to improve Oxygenated blood to the heart by Opening Micro vessels (Collaterals) within coronary Arteries to create a Natural Bypasses around blockages.

EECP Treatment usually lasts 35-38 Sessions for 6-7 weeks.

Reasons To Choose EECP.

It is the only Available Non-Invasive treatment for Heart patients suffering from Coronary artery disease, Angina and Heart Failure. It helps reducing or completely solves angina pain.

Apart from Coronary artery Disease, EECP Treatment can be given in cases such as High blood pressure, diabetes and more.

It also boosts energy and provides more active lifestyle to patients.

Patients can be treated with EECP Treatment in following diseases.

Angina Pectoris
Congestive Heart Failure
Hypertension
Stroke
Diabetes

Peripheral artery disease
Leg pain
Renal Failure
Fatigue
Shortness of Breath

Poor Circulation
Sports Enhancement
Erectile Dysfunction
Quality of Life
Exercise Duration and Increased Stamina

Benefits of EECP Treatment.

Patients can experience below benefits after 35 to 38 hours Treatment,

Increases collateral circulation
Creates new micro blood vessels
Stimulates natural bypass
Grows new arteries
Reduces arterial stiffness

Improves organ dysfunction
Improves blood flow to the brain
Strengthens cardiovascular system
Increases lymphatic circulation
Reverses effects of heart disease

Increases nitric oxide
Improves longevity
Stimulates anti-aging effects
Regenerates organs and tissue
Decreases anxiety and depression

EECP is a regenerative Treatment.

Regeneration is a medical term of replacing or recreating human tissues, organs or cells to restore body’s normal function. According to NIH, EECP circulates hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) or endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).

The proposed mechanism of the increase in regenerative circulating stem cells is the enhanced shear forces induced on the endothelial boundary by the flow reversal produced by the sequential inflation of the pneumatic cuffs during EECP therapy.

Effect of EECP Treatment on plasma nitric oxide and endothelin-1 levels.

Nitric oxide is a key signalling molecule throughout the body. Produced by the endothelial cells lining the arteries, it penetrates the underlying smooth muscles and acts as a potent vasodilator that relaxes the arteries. Therefore, nitric oxide plays a critical role in blood pressure and overall circulation. It also keeps the endothelium in shape by curbing inflammation and oxidative stress.

According to a study conducted by NIH, EECP significantly augments diastolic blood flow and has been postulated to improve endothelial function by increased shear stress. During the course of EECP treatment, plasma NOx progressively increases and plasma ET-1 progressively decreases. It provides neurohormonal evidence to support the hypothesis that EECP improves endothelial function.
