EECP(ECP) IN INDIA.

Randhawa Hospital introduces for the first time in India a combination
of EECP and AMT-Agressive medical treatment for coronary artery disease
with a success rate of more than 90%. EECP(ECP) is available for
treating angina in all leading hospitals of the world, including
Cleveland, Mayo, Stony Brooks and Escort Heart hospital in Amritsar,
(India). If you or someone you know is among the more than 60 million
people in this country who suffer the crippling chest pain of angina
pectoris, you should know about EECP(ECP) therapy. External Enhanced
Counter Pulsation.

"Enhanced" refers to the state-of-the-art technology that has developed
during decades of research and is used for EECP(ECP)® treatment today.
EECP(ECP)® treatment is "external" because it happens outside the body
and does not require surgery or other invasive procedures. Counter
pulsation occurs between heartbeats.

Developed by Vasomedical, Inc., EECP(ECP) has been tested in
multicentre, controlled, clinical studies, with positive medical results
and demonstrated quality of life improvement. Enhancing your life's
rhythm is the heart of EECP(ECP). And with Medicare's coverage, there's
one more good reason to ask your doctor if EECP(ECP) 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
patient’s heart, can improve circulation to the heart muscle. After
EECP(ECP)® 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-angina 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.

A therapy for angina called EECP(ECP) may make it possible for you to
take part in the activities you enjoy once again without suffering from
attacks of angina. This treatment, which does not involve surgery or
hospitalization, has helped many people with coronary artery disease.
This treatment is called Enhanced External Counter pulsation, and will
be referred to as EECP(ECP) during the presentation. EECP(ECP) can
eliminate or reduce angina. People who have received this treatment
often report having a “new lease on life.”

Let’s look at the anatomy of the heart so you can understand how
EECP(ECP) treatment works. During the cardiac cycle, the heart muscle
works and then rests. When the heart works, it contracts and pumps blood
out to the body. This is called systole.

Let’s look at the anatomy of the heart so you can understand how
EECP(ECP) treatment works. During the cardiac cycle, the heart muscle
works and then rests. When the heart works, it contracts and pumps blood
out to the body. This is called systole.

The heart requires a particularly rich blood supply because of its heavy
workload and receives this nourishing blood supply through the coronary
arteries. When the heart rests, it relaxes and fills with blood. This is
called diastole.

Angina is a hard-to-live-with symptom of coronary artery disease. When
you have an attack of angina, your body is telling your that your heart
is not receiving enough oxygen When narrowed or blocked arteries
restrict blood flow, parts of the heart muscle need more oxygen than is
supplied by the diseased artery, causing discomfort and pain. The
coronary arteries have many branches, like a tree. The smaller arteries
branch into even smaller vessels.

Your body has natural solutions to pain and problems caused by narrowed
arteries. When an artery is partially blocked, the body can often
increase the amount of blood flowing to the muscle by opening up tiny
branches, connecting nearby vessels to vessels downstream of the
blockage. These networks of tiny blood vessels are called collateral
circulation.

Collaterals make it possible for blood to detour around blocked or
narrowed arteries. However, the development of collateral circulation is
a gradual process and not everyone has the natural ability to develop
these networks at a rate that will relieve angina.

You may be one of the many heart patients who takes nitroglycerin to
relieve your pain. Unfortunately, patients often find their medication
is not giving them enough relief. Some patients find that medication
becomes less effective over time.

EECP(ECP) treatment is a noninvasive approach that has provided relief
for many people This treatment, which works in harmony with your heart,
may improve circulation to your heart muscle. EECP(ECP) treatment
appears to stimulate the opening of natural pathways around narrowed or
blocked arteries. The name Enhanced External Counter pulsation explains
what will happen during treatment. EECP(ECP) is external because it
happens outside of your body and doesn’t require surgery. Counter
pulsation means that the EECP(ECP) system pumps when the heart is
resting.

This increases blood flow to the heart (see the arrows moving upwards),
therefore increasing oxygen supply to the heart.

Counter pulsation stops pumping when the heart is working. This
decreases the heart’s workload, creating less oxygen demand. EECP(ECP)
treatment works with the normal rhythm of your heart to help your body
heal itself. Clinical studies indicate that EECP(ECP) treatment may
create a natural bypass around blocked arteries. EECP(ECP) treatment
encourages enlargement of tiny blood vessels that can become extra
branches. These channels or collaterals may eventually become permanent
conduits to the heart muscle that was previously deprived of blood flow
and adequate oxygen.

Your doctor will evaluate you to determine if you are eligible to
receive EECP(ECP) treatment. You may be a candidate for EECP(ECP)
treatment if you have angina, nitrates are providing insufficient relief
from angina, you have been told that you are not a candidate for bypass
surgery or angioplasty, you underwent invasive procedures in the past
and your chest pain has returned, or you would like to explore all of
your treatment options. Patients receive EECP(ECP) treatment on an
outpatient basis. This treatment does not involve hospitalization or
recuperation.

It is important to understand the typical treatment schedule. Patients
attend one-hour treatment sessions once a day, five days a week, for
seven weeks. Many people have continued working while receiving
treatment by scheduling their sessions before or after work. During
treatment, you will lie on a padded table in a treatment room. The
therapist will wrap a set of cuffs around your calves, thighs, and
buttocks. The cuffs inflate and press against your legs, massaging the
muscles of your lower body. Patients feel the sensation of a strong
“hug” moving upwards from their calves to thighs to buttocks during
inflation, followed by the rapid release of pressure.

The cuffs inflate and expand during diastole, when the heart is at rest.
The cuffs deflate and collapse during systole, when the heart is at
work. The inflation and deflation of the cuffs are electronically
synchronized with your heartbeat using an ECG signal. By monitoring
these readings your EECP(ECP) therapist can time counter pulsation
accurately After a few sessions, most patients become used to treatment.
They often read, listen to music on headsets, and even sleep.

Some patients say that they find the treatment relaxing. Clinical
studies have shown that EECP(ECP) treatment is effective for reducing
angina. A controlled double-blind study showed a significant increase in
the length of time that participants who had received active treatment
were able to exercise before their ECGs showed signs of oxygen
deprivation of the heart muscle. Study participants who received
inactive treatment showed no significant improvement. Additionally,
participants who received active treatment experienced fewer attacks of
angina.
After EECP(ECP) treatment, you may find that:

*

You can walk farther, carry heavier packages, and be more active
without having angina
*

You have fewer attacks of angina
*

Your episodes of angina are less painful
*

You need less anti-anginal medication
*

You can return to work, go out to dinner, garden, travel, or enjoy
golf, tennis, or bowling once again, you no longer restrict your social
life, volunteer activities, or exercise because you are worried that
your angina will interfere with your ability to take part in these
activities
