EECP Centre
Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is a mechanical form of treatment for angina (chest pain). Treated under casualty section. It can considered as an alternative treatment to heart bypass surgery. EECP treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a remedy for people with congestive heart failure (CHF). While several clinical studies appear to show that this treatment can help reduce symptoms of angina in people with coronary artery disease (CAD.
We at Jay-Anand Hospital provide EECP treatment with the latest and higher end globally validated equipment. Treated by pertinently trained, experienced and certified physicians and therapists. EECP therapy will be provided under the supervision of the cardiologist. Treatment will be provided strictly adhering to the guidelines and protocols of the international standard. Member of the IPER USA: The progress of each patient is discussed and evaluated by an expert team globally maintain proper data.
What Is EECP?
EECP is a device-driven process in which lengthy inflatable cuffs (like blood pressure cuffs) are infolded around both of the patient’s legs. Progressively the leg cuffs are inflated and deflated synchronously with each heartbeat and controlled by computer. The data which uses the patient’s electrocardiogram (ECG) to generate inflation early in diastole (when the heart relaxes and is filled with blood), and deflation just as systole (heart contraction) begins. The inflation of the cuffs transpires consecutively from the lower part to the upper part of the legs, so that the blood in the legs is bled upwards toward the area of the heart.
EECP has at least two potentially beneficial actions on the heart.
Initially, the milking action of the leg cuffs upsurges the blood flow to the coronary arteries during the functions of diastole. Next, it deflates while the heart begins to beat, EECP produces sort of an impulsive vacuum in the arteries adjusting – how much it is for the heart muscle to pump blood. It is also considered that EECP may benefit the task of endothelial dysfunction. EECP may recuperate peripheral arterial function, which serves to diminish myocardial oxygen need.
