EECP treatment is a continuous treatment lasting 35 hours. This period is divided into periods of one hour per day spread over six days a week. Treatment is a painless and comfortable procedure. There is no hospitalization or risk involved in the EECP treatment process. In some cases, as per the doctor’s advice, it can be taken twice a day at an interval of 2-3 hours and completed in three weeks. You are advised to take the treatment again and again without interruption. Missed treatments are usually built in, so you get all 35 sessions. Patients can usually watch TV or listen to music during the treatment session. During EECP treatment, it is not uncommon for the procedure to feel tired after the first few sessions, but this will pass as the sessions progress. Each patient reacts differently. Most patients start to feel improvement after about 15-20 sessions.
During EECP, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a hormone, is secreted and stimulates the growth of new collaterals and improved arterial function. VEGF contributes to angiogenesis, the creation of new collaterals for blood flow around blockages, much like a natural bypass. EECP helps new arteries grow naturally for patients with heart disease or stroke.
Several studies suggest that EECP therapy can be quite effective in treating chronic stable angina. A small randomized trial showed that EECP significantly improved symptoms of angina (a subjective measure) and exercise tolerance (a more objective measure) in people with CAD. EECP significantly improved the quality of life compared to placebo therapy. Other studies have shown that improvement in symptoms persists for up to five years after a course of EECP (although 1 in 5 patients may require a second course of EECP to maintain their improvement).
Based on what we know so far, EECP therapy should be considered in those who still have angina despite maximum medical treatment, and in whom stent or bypass surgery is not considered a good option.
It is very cost-effective as it does not require surgery and hospital stay
This enables the patient to return to work and participate in their active lifestyle
This enables the patient to walk longer distances without experiencing chest pain
EECP treatment help to reduce the patient's anti-angina medication needs.
EECP therapy is a simple, safe, and non-invasive risk-free treatment. It is considered an effective treatment for the following reasons:
It is very affordable as it does not involve surgery and hospital stay.
It does not disrupt the daily routine life of the patient.
It makes the patient more energetic.
It enables the patient to return to work and participate in their active lifestyle.
It enables the patient to walk longer distances without experiencing chest pain
EECP reduces the patient's anti-angina medication needs.
There is no need to take any additional or separate medication for EECP.
The benefits of EECP have been scientifically proven and well-documented around the world.
EECP does not require hospitalization, as the procedure is an outpatient procedure.
EECP has no risk of infection, as the procedure is non-invasive.
With EECP there is no risk of bleeding or blood clots.
EECP has no downtime, It is only a walk-in and walk-out process/session each time.
There are various EECP features that provide you with the right information about the EECP treatments features such as:
This is one of the biggest advantages - that it is a safer alternative to the more risky and invasive procedure.
Scientific studies have shown EECP to be as effective as a bypass or angioplasty procedure in selected patient groups. EECP USA is approved by the FDA for chest pain and impaired heart function and is the first truly non-invasive outpatient treatment.
EECP has been proven to improve blood flow to the heart, improve heart function, improve vascular health, and increase blood flow to other parts of the body.
More than 160 research articles have been published worldwide supporting the EECP. These articles prove that EECP gives patient relief from chest pain and shortness of breath in heart patients.
EECP is a non-invasive therapy with no known side effects. It is a simple process without any complications. We recommend certain types of patients avoid EECP therapy in India or abroad. This may make the situation worse. You can also reach out to our doctors for EECP treatment in India for a better understanding of the process. Other than finding out if you can go through it or not.
Individuals with the following issues may not consider EECP therapy for angina:
