EECP Treatment India - Natural bypass surgery

Medlinks Cardio care Pvt Ltd is on the forefront of medicine, setting standards for quality health care in India. The whole idea of med.links originated from a quest for finding a credible alternative treatment for those who could not undergo bypass surgery due to increased risk and to very minimal viable myocardial (Heart muscle) as seen on a myocardial perfusion scan. As these numbers have increased over the years, our quest broadened and the answer is EECP Therapy. EECP treatment is also used in patients who have already undergone bypass surgery or angioplasty but not getting sufficient relief of their symptoms and also for inoperable patients due to a poor function of the heart and high risks involved.EECP or Enhanced External Counter Pulsation is a circulatory assist device designed in USA and approved by USFDA for treatment of disease affecting blood vessels of the heart. It increases blood flow to the diseased arteries by 200% and opens up collaterals. Thus it relieves chest pain and difficulty in breathing. The patient can walk longer, breathe easier and have a much better quality of life.

EECP treatment increases blood flow:
To heart by 20-42%              To brain by 22-26%                To kidneys by 19%

EECP treatment is an outpatient treatment for angina and heart failure. The EECP therapy is typically given in 35 one-hour-sessions, five days a week, for seven weeks. Patients lie down on a padded table and have their calves and lower and upper thighs wrapped in blood pressure-like cuffs. The EECP treatment system, which is synchronized to the individual patient's cardiac cycle, inflates the cuffs with air to create external pressure when the heart is resting (diastole) and deflates the cuffs just before the heart beats (systole). The EECP treatment system's action, which pulses counter to the heart's beating, increases blood flow to the heart muscle, decreases the heart's workload and creates a greater oxygen supply for the heart muscle while lowering the heart's need for oxygen.
