EECP Unit

India Hospital provides EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) treatment for Chest pain and Heart failure. No pain, no surgery, no hospitalization. Very safe certified treatment in India Hospital.

What is EECP?

• Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive/non-surgical non-pharmacological, low risk, painless therapy for Angina pectoris (severe chest pain) and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
• EECP is actually more like bypass surgery. Because it creates alternative pathways around blocked arteries.
• Unlike angioplasty and stenting, EECP does not affect the plaque on the coronary walls.

Benefits of EECP

• Fewer episodes of angina
• Angina pain subsides
• Decrease or elimination of anti-anginal medications
• Increased exercice tolerence
• Improved ability to perform activities of daily living
• Improved quality of life

Immediate Effects of EECP

• 90% of coronary artery perfusion takes place during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle
• EECP's immediate effect is to increase diastolic augumentation and enhance coronary perfusion through displacement of blood volume with in the aorta

Long-Term Effects of EECP

• Promotion of collateral vessals.
• Improvement of endothelial function.
• Enhancement of ventricular function.
• Peripheral training effect with physiological effects similar to that seen with exercise.
