EECP
Ask
Your Doctor About EECP®
 If
you or someone you know
is among the more than
7 million people in this
country who suffer the
crippling chest pain of
angina pectoris, you should
know about EECP® therapy.
The
term Enhanced External
Counterpulsation (EECP®)
describes what happens
during treatment. "Enhanced"
refers to the state-of-the-art
technology that has developed
during decades of research
and is used for EECP®
treatment today. EECP®
treatment is "external"
because it happens outside
the body and does not
require surgery or other
invasive procedures. Counterpulsation
occurs between heart beats.
Developed
by Vasomedical, Inc.,
EECP has been tested in
multicenter, controlled,
clinical studies, with
positive medical results
and demonstrated quality
of life improvement. Enhancing
your life's rhythm is
the heart of EECP. And
with Medicare's coverage,
there's one more good
reason to ask your doctor
if EECP is the treatment
for you.
When
patients have angina,
their bodies are telling
them that their heart
is not receiving enough
oxygen. A treatment, in
harmony with patients
heart, can improve circulation
to the heart muscle. EECP®
treatment appears to stimulate
the opening of new, natural
pathways around narrowed
or blocked arteries. After
EECP® treatment, patients
may find that: they can
walk farther; carry heavier
packages and be more active
without having angina;
they have fewer attacks
of angina; their episodes
of angina are less intense;
they need less anti-anginal
medication; they can return
to work, go out to dinner,
garden, travel, or enjoy
golf, tennis, or bowling
once again; they no longer
restrict their social
lives, volunteer activities,
or exercise because they
are worried that they
will cause angina.
