(EECP THERAPY)
FDA approved

Very Safe
Cost Effective
Approved Therapy
2. What is EECP Therapy?
• EECP Therapy is (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation Therapy).
• It is outpatient (OPD basis) treatment for chest pain(angina) & heart
failure.
• EECP is the born for patients who may want to avoid surgery
(angioplasty/bypass)
• Treatments given- 1 hour per day
- 6 days per week
- total 35 hours sessions.
• EECP Therapy is fastest & safest option for patients who are high risk
for bypass surgery or angioplasty.
3. EECP Therapy is a non invasive procedure that may reduce the
symptoms of chronic angina by stimulating the formation of small
branches of blood vessels (collaterals) which circumvent the
blocked arteries.
EECP Therapy is as simple as 1, 2, 3
Step 1 - EECP pumps, sending oxygenated blood to
the heart during diastole (when the heart is resting).
Step 2 - EECP stops pumping just before the heart
pumps, leaving the blood vessels open without
resistance.
Step 3 - Over the treatment period your angina is
reduced, or may even be eliminated
5. Who is candidate for EECP Therapy ?
• You have chest pain (angina)
• Your heart medications no longer relieve your chest pain(angina)
• You have had bypass surgery, angioplasty, or other invasive procedures &
your symptoms have returned.
• You have chosen not to have any further surgery, angioplasties or invasive
procedures.
• You have been told you can not have another bypass surgery, angioplasty
or other invasive procedures by your doctor.
•

7. What is collateral circulations ?
• In heart collateral blood vessels can help to supply blood
flow to ischemic region caused by stenosis or occlusion by
the arteries.
• Collateral circulation routes of blood flow to the heart in
cases when the heart isn’t getting the blood supply it
needs.
8. BENEFITS OF COLLATERAL CIRCULATION
TO HEART?
• Coronary collateral may helps to protect the myocardium from
infarction during episodes of ischemia and may extend the limited
number of valuable “golden hours” from the onset of an acute
myocardial infarct to successful coronary reperfusion.
• Collateral circulation improves the survival rates in patients.
9. How does collateral circulation
helps the heart ?
• In the heart collateral vessels can help to supply blood flow to
ischemic region caused by stenosis or occlusion of the arteries.
• Collateral circulation provides alternate routes of blood flow to the
heart in case when the heart isn’t getting the blood supply it needs.
