Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, and chest pain or angina is a common symptom. Many treatment options are available, including EECP therapy, a non-invasive procedure that can reduce chest pain and improve blood flow. In this article, we will explore how EECP works and why it is an effective treatment for chest pain and angina.
EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) is a non-invasive, outpatient therapy that can improve blood flow to the heart. The therapy involves wrapping inflatable cuffs around the patient’s legs, which are then inflated and deflated in sync with the patient’s heartbeat. This creates a “squeezing” effect that helps to increase blood flow to the heart.
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.
EECP can significantly reduce chest pain and improve the quality of life for patients with angina.
EECP can help patients to exercise for longer periods of time, which can improve cardiovascular health.
EECP is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure that is well-tolerated by most patients. The therapy is also low-risk, with few side effects.
Compared to other treatments for angina, such as medications or invasive procedures, EECP is a cost-effective option.
EECP therapy (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) is a non-invasive treatment that uses pressure cuffs on the legs and lower body to increase blood flow and oxygenation to the heart. Here are 10 points on who may benefit from this therapy:
Patients with Angina
Patients with heart failure
Patients with coronary artery disease
Patients who are not good candidates for surgery
Patients who have had previous heart surgeries
Patients with peripheral artery disease
Patients with diabetes
Patients with high blood pressure
Patients with sleep apnea
Patients who want to improve their overall cardiovascular health
EECP works by increasing blood flow to the heart, which can reduce chest pain and improve symptoms of angina. The therapy is thought to work in several ways:
Collateral circulation refers to the network of smaller blood vessels that can develop around the heart when the main arteries become narrowed or blocked. EECP can help to stimulate the development of collateral circulation, which can improve blood flow to the heart.
Afterload is the pressure that the heart has to work against to pump blood out to the body. When afterload is high, the heart has to work harder, which can lead to chest pain and other symptoms. EECP can help to reduce afterload, which can reduce the workload on the heart and improve symptoms.
The endothelium is the inner lining of blood vessels. When the endothelium is damaged or dysfunctional, it can contribute to heart disease. EECP can help to improve endothelial function, which can improve blood flow and reduce chest pain.
Inflammation is a key contributor to heart disease. EECP can help to reduce inflammation in the body, which can improve symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
Here is a step-by-step overview of the EECP therapy procedure:
