Are There Any Disadvantages of EECP Treatment?
When considering heart treatments, you might wonder: are there any disadvantages to Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy? The answer is a resounding NO . EECP treatment is a non-invasive therapy that has revolutionized heart care, particularly for patients with chronic angina or those who cannot undergo surgical interventions like bypass surgery. In this blog, we’ll explore the many benefits of EECP treatment and why it’s considered a game-changer in cardiovascular health. What Is EECP Treatment? EECP treatment is a therapy designed to improve blood flow to the heart. During the procedure, patients lie on a bed while a series of cuffs are placed around their legs and lower body. These cuffs inflate and deflate in sync with the patient’s heartbeat, pushing blood toward the heart and creating new pathways for blood flow, known as collateral circulation. The aim is to enhance circulation, reduce chest pain (angina), and improve overall heart function. This non-invasive...
