Technological advancements and innovations in the medical field continue to open the floodgates for modern and effective treatments. In the last couple of decades, enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) has gained attention worldwide due to its non-invasive nature. EECP is a non-invasive therapy that is also known as a natural bypass to treat coronary diseases and condition.
EECP treatment for heart block has saved thousands of patients from invasive heart surgeries and offered relief from chest pain and other symptoms of cardiovascular diseases.
Today, we will highlight the main benefits of EECP treatment and why it has gradually gained a significant amount of recognition in recent years.
What exactly is EECP treatment?
EECP is a unique mechanical treatment where long cuffs that are inflatable (similar to blood pressure cuffs) is wrapped around your legs. The cuffs in sync with your heartbeat are inflated and deflated which is controlled by a computer. The computer makes use of the patient’s ECG to trigger inflation and deflation.
The inflation starts to occur from the lower parts of the legs and then moves to the upper portion to ensure that the blood is “milked” towards the heart.
Benefits of EECP
Enhanced blood flow
The milking process of the cuffs enhances the flow of the blood towards the coronary arteries at the time of diastole.
It is important to note that blood circulates in the coronary arteries only between heartbeats instead of every heartbeat.
The increased flow of blood in coronary arteries plays an integral part in restricting coronary diseases.
Reduces work rate of heart muscle
The other advantage of the EECP treatment is the creation of a sudden vacuum in the arteries caused by the deflating action when the heart starts to beat.
The vacuum significantly reduces the work rate of the heart muscle while pumping blood to the different parts of the body. Moreover, there are speculations that EECP could assist in lowering endothelial dysfunction.
Improves the quality of life
EECP treatment will play an essential role in enhancing the quality of life by keeping potential heart diseases and conditions at bay in comparison to placebo therapy.
Conclusion
Thousands of patients are turning to EECP treatment and considering other alternatives compared to conventional cardiology procedures.
The numerous benefits of EECP treatment coupled with its non-invasive nature have rightly made it a popular remedy in recent years. Get in touch with our team to get the best EECP treatment in Pune.
