ECP & EECP

EECP is a noninvasive procedure in which a set of inflatable cuffs mechanically compress the blood vessels in the patient's lower limbs to increase blood flow in the coronary arteries of the heart. The blood pressure cuffs are wrapped around the patient's arms, calves, thighs, and buttocks. Computer technology, electrocardiography, and blood pressure monitors enable the accurate timing of gentle but firm inflation and deflation of the pressure cuffs with the patient's heartbeat and blood pressure.

EECP is said to benefit the patient suffering from the following diseases

- Angina
- Angioplasty (PTCA) or Bypass Surgery (CABG)
- CAD - Coronary Artery Disease
- CHD - Coronary Heart Disease
- PVD - Peripheral Vascular Disease
- ED - Erectile Dysfunction
- Cardiac Chest Pain
- Congestive Heart Failure
- Cardiomyopathy
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- Cerebralpalsy
- Intestinal Vascular insufficiency
- Edema or Venous insufficiency
- Chronic fatigue syndrome

Other benefits of EECP includes:

- Stroke
- Kidney disease
- Parkinson's disease
- Memory disorders
- Diabetes & Diabetic Neuropathy
- High Blood Pressure
- Macular degeneration
- Other circular diseases
- Hearing loss and tinnitus
- Vision impairment
- Autoimmune diseases
- Rheumatic disease
- Restless Leg syndrome
- Lymphatic System
- Sports Enhancement
- Anti-aging
- Increase in Energy & Exercise tolerance
- Increase alertness (brain function)
- Reduce or eliminate symptoms of chest pain
- Reduce symptoms of Shortness of Breath
- Reduce symptoms of Fatigue
- Reduce heart palpitation
- Reduce leg pains from peripheral vascular disease
- Strengthens the heart muscle by reviving parts of the heart that have hibernated from lack of bloodflow
- Increase in perfusion creates natural bypasses around narrowed arteries in heart as well as other organs such as the lungs, Kidneys, liver & the brain
- Sustainable relief of symptoms related to Ischemic Heart disease
- Sustainable Increase in Coronary Perfusion
- Improvement in sexual function for men
- Reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease
- Reduce symptoms of Dementia (Alzheimers Disease)
- Reduces blood pressure
- Decrease workload of the heart
- Retrograde Arterial Flow (Shear Stress) increases endothelial function
- Peripheral Training effects (similar to exercise)
- Cardiac Remodeling (stunned & hibernated myocardium)
- Promotion of Collateralization
- Improvement in oxygen consumption (VO2)
- Regression of atherosclerosis
- Improvement in ventricular function
- Increase in Cardiac Output
- Decrease in Cardiac Workload
- Release in growth factors
- Reduction in Angina & Heart Failure symptoms & Classifications
- Decrease Medication (including Nitroglycerin)

Enhanced External Counterpulsation - EECP

EECP is a nonsurgical procedure used to increase blood flow to your heart.
A non-invasive treatment for angina pectoris and congestive heart failure involving the use of inflatable cuffs on the patient's arms and legs to improve myocardial perfusion and increase cardiac output.

EECP Benefits More Than Heart Disease
