Description

How does EECP work? The EECP treatment gently but firmly compresses the blood vessels in the lower limbs to increase blood flow to your heart. Each wave of pressure is electronically timed to the heartbeat, so that the increased blood flow is delivered to your heart at the precise moment it is relaxing. When the heart pumps again, pressure is released instantaneously. This lowers resistance in the blood vessels in the legs so that blood may be pumped more easily from your heart. EECP may encourage blood vessels to open small channels that become extra branches. These channels or collaterals may eventually become "Natural Bypass" vessels to provide blood flow to heart muscle. This contributes to the relief of angina symptom. It is crucial that in order to promote collateral circulation, the inflation and deflation of the cuffs be correctly timed with the patient’s heartbeat. Every person is biologically unique and hence, an extremely precise and sensitive treatment set up is required to afford the full benefit to be achieved. This is possible only with the EECP machines. EECP treatment and has been involved in extensive research and development activities over the past years. This expertise has been directly translated into the development of the EECP machines and delivering treatment. All the machines and systems are US FDA approved. Cheaper ‘Made in China’ machines used to deliver ECP treatments have not been able to match the original machines in efficacy and product life. Neither do they have any FDA approval. Hence, it is important that patients and doctors enquire on the machines used to deliver treatment and ensure that PSK EECP machines are used in the centre where treatment is delivered.
