EECP Therapy

What is EECP?
EECP is a non-surgical and safe treatment for patients with chronic coronary artery disease or those who are not candidates for surgery. EECP is effective in increasing blood flow to the heart, reducing chest pain, and significantly improving the quality of life of patients. 

What diseases can EECP treat?
EECP is a device that increases blood flow to the heart. It uses an adjustable compression band that is wrapped around the patient's legs and hips. When the machine is activated, the band squeezes and releases in time with the heartbeat to help stimulate blood flow through the blood vessels.

How does EECP help treat coronary artery disease?
The action of EECP is based on increasing blood flow in the coronary arteries and other parts of the body.

Body, with details as follows:

Increase blood flow to the heart. During diastole, the compression band squeezes the legs to push blood back into the heart, increasing the amount of blood flowing to the heart muscle.
 

Reduces resistance in the arteries during systole. The compression band relaxes, reducing resistance in the arteries, so the heart works less but more efficiently.
 

Stimulates the formation of new blood vessels (Collateral Circulation) EEC treatment can stimulate the body to form new blood vessels around areas of narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, increasing blood supply to the ischemic heart muscle.
 

Improves the function of the vascular system. EECP helps the blood vessels to be more flexible, reduces the risk of re-occlusion, and helps reduce chest pain (Angina).

Advantages of EECP
- No need for incision: It is a painless and downtime-free method.
- Reduce chest pain and help patients have a better quality of life.
- Safe: No serious side effects and suitable for patients who cannot undergo surgery.
- Improve Cardiovascular Endurance: Increase your physical performance in daily activities.

EECP treatment process
- The patient will lie flat on a bed fitted with air bands.
- Wind bands are wrapped around both legs and hips.
- The machine works by adjusting the rhythm of contractions and contractions based on an electrocardiogram (EKG).
- Treatments last approximately 1 hour per session and are typically performed 5 days per week for 7 weeks (approximately 35 sessions).

Who is suitable for EECP treatment?
- Patients with chronic coronary artery disease who still have symptoms despite receiving medication or other treatments
- Patients who are not candidates for angioplasty or bypass surgery
- Patients who want to reduce their medication use and improve their quality of life

Results of EECP treatment
- Reduce chest pain and shortness of breath
- Increase your ability to exercise and perform daily activities
- Reduce dependence on medications or other treatments 

Advantages of doing EECP
1. Total Cardiac Health: EECP treatment covers the entire cardiovascular system, not just one area like surgery, resulting in more comprehensive overall benefits.

2. No Hospitalization: Since this treatment is an outpatient treatment, patients can be admitted and discharged home the same day.

3. No risk of infection: As it is a non-invasive treatment.

4. No blood loss or risk of blood clots: EECP does not involve procedures that may cause blood loss.

5. No recovery time: Patients can walk in and out after each treatment.

6. No anesthesia: EECP is a painless procedure and does not require anesthesia.

7. No side effects: EECP does not affect other parts or organs in the body.

8. No risk of complications: Because EECP is an external treatment that uses machines.

9. No special medications required: EECP does not require any additional medications beyond what the patient is already taking.

10. Scientifically Proven: The benefits of EECP have been proven and clearly documented around the world.

11. No recovery period: This treatment allows patients to return to their daily activities immediately.

12. More cost-effective: EECP provides similar results to bypass and balloon, but at a much lower cost.

13. Simplify the treatment: Heart surgery requires high precision and risks of complications, as well as long preparation and recovery times. EECP helps avoid all these problems.

Advantages/Disadvantages of EECP Treatment

EECP THERAPY is a treatment procedure that uses inflatable and deflated air sleeves that are wrapped around the patient's legs. These sleeves work in sync with the heart's rhythm, inflating and deflating during each heart beat to increase blood flow to the

This process is called “stimulation of the heart,” which increases blood flow and may help reduce symptoms of coronary artery disease.

Advantages of EECP THERAPY program
1. Improves blood flow: EECP treatment improves blood flow to the heart, increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.
2. Non-invasive: EECP is a non-invasive treatment that can be done on an outpatient basis, reducing the risks associated with surgery.
3. Improved quality of life: Many patients report an overall improvement in their quality of life after EECP treatment, with reduced symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest pain.

Disadvantages of EECP THERAPY program
1. Time constraints: Each EECP treatment session, which typically lasts approximately 1 hour, can be a challenge for those with busy schedules.
2. Short-term side effects: Some patients may experience leg discomfort or slight fatigue during or after treatment.

EECP is a non-invasive treatment for chronic coronary artery disease, improving blood flow, reducing chest pain, and enhancing quality of life. It's performed outpatient with no anesthesia or recovery time. Benefits include increased exercise capacity and reduced medication reliance, though sessions are time-consuming.
