EECP Therapy: Heart is the most important organ of our body. If it stops working then the person will die. According to WHO, every year around 1.80 crore people in the world die due to heart disease. According to Global Burden of Disease, 27% of deaths in India are due to heart diseases only. The most dangerous among these is heart attack or stroke.
In case of heart attack, doctors perform bypass surgery or angioplasty on the patient. Heart blockage is cured by these surgeries. For the last few years, the help of EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) therapy is being taken for the treatment of heart diseases. Some people claim that there is no need for bypass or angioplasty, let us know the truth from the doctors…

What is EECP therapy and for whom is it beneficial?
EECP is US FDA approved. EECP is used in the treatment of long-term chest pain or pressure, i.e. chronic angina. In angina, there is frequent chest pain. In this, the heart does not get proper blood and oxygen, which increases the risk of heart attack. EECP therapy can be beneficial for those who need to increase blood circulation in their heart. In this therapy, blood circulation in the heart and body is increased with a machine. Therapy: Your medicine requirement is not much. Its side effects are also less.
Benefits of EECP Therapy
Increases blood circulation in the arteries.
Heart gets oxygen and nutrients.
Is painless and non-invasive.
Does EECP therapy not require angioplasty?
Experts say that EECP is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment, which helps in increasing blood circulation and heart capacity in the body. People who are suffering from any disease or cannot undergo bypass surgery or angioplasty due to any health problem, can take the help of EECP to increase the capacity of their heart.
But it is wrong to say that EECP will cure all heart diseases or that there will be no need for heart surgery. Experts say that if a patient needs bypass surgery then bypass has to be done, it is not that EECP will cure him. With this technology, heart diseases can definitely be prevented in future.
