Learn about Heart Treatment -EECP1
What is ECP? ECP is Enhanced External Counter Pulsation. It is a non-invasive, non pharmacological, no risk, painless therapy for CAD-Angina, systolic and diastolic heart failure, after PTCA, (Stenting), after CABG, Syndrome X, (Metabolic Syndrome) mild Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD), erectile dysfunction (Vascular insufficiency) stroke (TIA, Brain Attack, Diffuse Cortical Atrophy, lacunar infarcts) abdominal angina, Reno vascular insufficiency etc. It is a procedure to enhance blood flow by improving circulation and wellness in the whole vascular system of the body including heart and brain etc. How does it work? This action also provides therapeutic advantages by reducing the heart’s after- load. Since the vascular beds in the lower extremities are essentially empty, the resistance to blood flow is markedly reduced, thereby decreasing the amount of work that the heart must do to pump blood to these areas (reducing oxygen demand within the myocardium) As a result of these diastolic augmentation activities, the patient’s peak diastolic pressure is significantly increased, benefiting circulation in the heart muscle and in other organs as well. At the same time, the patient’s systolic pressure is reduced, to the general benefit of the vascular system. Clinical studies suggest that the increase in myocardial perfusion pressure stimulates the use of collateral vessels that are already present, but unused, thereby allowing oxygenated blood to bypass ischemic (starved) areas …
