INTRODUCTION TO EECP / ECP THERAPY:
EECP I ECP (External Counter Pulsation) is a non-invasive treatment for coronary artery disease. ECP is the first non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical and mechanical complimentary treatment approved by US FDA as a class II device for Chronic Stable Angina that is refractory to optimal antianginal medical therapy & without options for revacularisation. ECP essentially is a heart therapy without the side-effects of heart surgery.
THE NEED FOR NEW OPTIONS:
Despite optimal medical therapy and invasive procedures, such as angioplasty and coronary bypass surgery, many patients still experience angina, due to still diseased coronary artery & some have congestive heart failure. For such patients, FDA cleared ECP therapy has been demonstrated to provide save, effective and enduring therapeutic option. Almost 75 — 85% of patients based on age and comorbid conditions benefit from ECP therapy and typically experience angina free life.
ECP THERAPY IS BENEFICIAL IN:
1 Chronic Stable Angina / Angina equivalents with chest pain, heaviness in chest, Shortness of breath, radiating pain.
2 Refractory angina
3 Cardiomyopathy
4 Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
5 Previous myocardial infarctions (Heart Attack) or Cardiogenic Shock.
6 Poor Left Ventricular Pumping capacity. (low E.F. )
7 Repeated & multiple coronary artery blockage.
8 Failed Angioplasty (PTCA).
9 Failed Coronary Bypass Surgery (CABG).
10 Those who do not want to undergo PTCA/ CABG.
11 Those who cannot offered PTCA/ CABG.
12 Looking for non-surgical alternative to CABG / Angioplasty.
13 Non-operable / very weak / at high Risk because of comorbid disease.
ALSO BENEFICIAL IN:
1. Erectile dysfunction
2. High blood pressure
4. Uncontrolled blood sugar
5. Severe diffuse coronary atherosclerosis
6. Persistent angina I significant silent ischemia.
7. Challenging coronary anatomies
8. Renal failure with fluid retention refractory to diuretics.
9. Stroke / Paralysis
10. Chronic fatigue (Tiredness) Syndrome.
11. Parkinson's disease - Reduce symptoms .
ECP IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN
1. Irregular heart rhythm (Arrhythmia)
2. Severe pulmonary hypertension
3. Deep Vein Thrombosis
4. Stent or stenosis the leg vessels
5. Pregnancy
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wear body fitting pants.
2.Avoid having food for 2 hours before the therapy
3. Empty your urinary bladder before starting the therapy
4. Continue your regular medication, if any.
- EECP targets entire heart & improves overall heart condition.
- ECP is an EFFECTIVE option for those with no option.
- Even healthy individuals can take this therapy to further enhance cardiovascular functionality & stamina.
- We work in close technical collaboration with VSK medical systems.
- We deliver therapy which in "evidence based" on long term research study & various clinical trials.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
PROTOCOL
ECP Therapy is administered for 1 hour to 2 (1+1) hours session daily, for 35 sessions
PRINCIPAL
Clinically proven hemodynamic principal of strong retrograde counter pulsation.
POST ECP TREATMENT CARE
ECP treatment provides you new vessels. Now it is up to you to prevent them from developing obstructions... thus make appropriate lifestyle changes and follow Heart friendly diet & exercise.
ADVANTAGES OF ECP
1. US-FDA approved procedure
2. Safe & Comfortable
3. Non-invasive
4. No need of any Anesthesia or Surgery
5. No risk of any interventions
6. Carried out on OPD basis - no need for hospitalization / rest
7. Cost effective
8. No recovery time
9. Patient can attend all his routine activities
CLINICAL BENEFITS
Seen in all patient with / without diabetes & with all range of BMI - Obesity
1. Reduces frequency & Severity of Angina
2. Increase in Energy level
3. Reduce the Nitroglycerin requirement
4. Reduce Emergency visits & Hospitalization
5. Improves Quality of life.
COST OF ECP
When compared with the cost of heart surgeries, the cost of ECP treatment is quite affordable.
