External Counterpulsation (ECP) is a safe and effective treatment to help those suffering from angina or chest pain. For patients who cannot or do not want to undergo bypass surgery or angioplasty, ECP is an alternative when medications are not enough for angina symptoms.
With treatments, patients usually experience:
An outpatient procedure, ECP requires no surgery or anesthesia. During a session, the patient lies on a table with cuffs wrapped around his or her calves, lower thighs, upper thighs and buttocks. An air compressor inflates and deflates the cuffs gently, but firmly to constrict the blood vessels. One session lasts one to two hours, and patients typically undergo 35 sessions over several weeks.
Most patients will notice improvements after about a dozen sessions. Common side effects are mild headache, mild dizziness, muscle aches and fatigue. Most experience no major discomfort, complications or side effects
Cardiopulse is an organization involved in treating cardiac patients by external counterpulsation device for over four years now. It was heart felt and critical need of a treatment which suits patients with refractory angina or patients unwilling or unable to undergo invasive revascularization therapy.
This is a noninvasive technique to increase oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart and to reduce the heart's workload. It's performed over a series of several weeks, with each session lasting from one to two hours. Pressure cuffs on the legs are inflated in sequences. As a result, the blood vessels in the legs are gently compressed and the blood is forced back to the heart.
