Benefits of EECP Treatment for Heart Health

Benefits of EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation)

Plaque obstructs blood flow in the arteries, causing chest pain and a risk of heart attack or stroke. Angiogenesis, the process through which new blood vessels are created, is the body’s natural defence. During EECP, blood circulates and naturally avoids clogged arteries, which also encourages the growth of these new collaterals.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a hormone, is secreted during EECP encourages the formation of new collaterals and enhanced arterial performance. VEGF aids in angiogenesis, the growth of new collaterals that allow blood to flow naturally around obstructions. For people with heart disease or stroke, EECP promotes the natural growth of new arteries.

EECP - Conditions Treated other than CVD

Angina Pectoris: EECP is most commonly used to treat chronic stable angina, a condition characterised by chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. EECP enhances blood flow to the heart by promoting collateral vessel development and improving coronary circulation, which can reduce the frequency and severity of angina episodes.

Heart Failure: EECP has shown promise in improving symptoms and exercise tolerance in individuals with heart failure. By increasing blood flow throughout the body, EECP can help alleviate fluid retention and fatigue associated with heart failure.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): CAD involves the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. EECP can indirectly benefit individuals with CAD by promoting collateral circulation and reducing the workload on the heart, which can lead to an improvement in symptoms and overall heart function.

Microvascular Angina: Some individuals experience angina-like symptoms without significant blockages in major coronary arteries, a condition known as microvascular angina. EECP’s ability to improve microcirculation can offer relief to these patients.

Diabetic Neuropathy: Diabetic neuropathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the nerves, often causing pain and discomfort in the extremities. EECP’s ability to improve blood flow and enhance vascular function may provide relief for individuals with diabetic neuropathy.

Erectile Dysfunction: EECP’s potential to enhance blood flow has led to its exploration as a treatment for erectile dysfunction, which can be caused by impaired blood flow to the genital region.

It’s important to understand that while EECP can offer symptomatic relief and improve quality of life, it does not directly address the underlying causes of these conditions. It should be considered a complementary therapy, and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. Individuals interested in EECP therapy should consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if they are suitable candidates and to discuss the potential benefits and limitations of the treatment based on their specific medical history and condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Is EECP treatment safe?

Yes, When treating angina (chest pain) in persons with coronary artery disease, enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) therapy provides a secure and reliable substitute for surgery.

Q2. What is the success rate of EECP?

The individual patient determines the success rate of EECP treatment, which varies greatly. Clinical investigations have revealed positive outcomes in a few instances, with an average improvement of more than 80% in circulation and other symptoms.

Q3. What does EECP therapy do? / What benefits do we get from EECP treatment?

FDA has approved the outpatient therapy enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) for the treatment of chronic stable angina. It applies pressure on the lower limbs to increase blood flow in those with persistent heart disease symptoms including chest tightness and pain.

Benefits for EECP:

Enhanced oxygen delivery to the heart, reduced chest discomfort and thus chest pain (angina pectoris) lessens.
Assists the patient in walking farther without experiencing any chest pain.
Improved response of the EKG to exercise
Decreased use of drugs
A boost in energy
Extended exercise sessions
Prevents heart failure
A treatment that is affordable and doesn't require surgery or a hospital stay.
Reduction of high blood pressure or hypertension.
Treatment that is easy, secure, and risk-free.
Aids in the treatment of unstable angina.
Has effects that continue for up to two years.
Heart obstructions can be safely and effectively treated.
Increases blood flow.
Won't interfere with the patient's usual activities.
Develop your endurance and stamina.
Extended length of exercise.
Enhances deep slumber.

Q4. Can EECP reduce blood pressure?

Hypertension or Systolic and diastolic blood pressure are both decreased as a result of EECP therapy, with patients who already have baseline hypertension seeing the greatest drop. These outcomes hold true across the 40 sessions. These findings are based on observational data from a single, highly skilled clinic where daily coaching on vegan diet changes and exercise is consistently paired with EECP. It is suggested that more research be done on this phenomena in order to corroborate these conclusions and determine the strength and duration of the effect.

Q5. Can EECP help heart failure?

Enhanced External counter pulsation (EECP) may be beneficial for patients with severe angina who are not deemed candidates for angioplasty or bypass surgery. Congestive heart failure patients have also experienced success with the therapy.

Patients Speaks

SAAOL has transformed thousands of lives by ensuring that patients go back home with a stronger and healthier heartbeat and enjoy the happy rhythm of life. Here’s what they have to say about their SAAOL experience.

Manju Pannwali

My blockage was 80-90% and heart pumping was about 24 and my main complaints were discomfort, unable to walk, major breathing issues. That is when I came across SAAOL and Dr. Bimal Chhajer. I watched his lectures and learned that Heart blockages can be reversed without surgery and with a few lifestyle changes. I started my treatment at SAAOL and within a month’s time I feel much healthier and are able to perform all day-to-day activities with ease. I am able to walk for an hour daily, I don’t feel fatigue or any kind of discomfort now. I am very grateful to Dr. Chhajer for his guidance and for providing heart patients with an alternate that is cost effective also.

Mrs. Chameli Khaka

I had a minor heart attack in 1989 and doctors told me that getting bypass surgery is my only option but I refused. I met Dr. Bimal Chhajer at a medical residential camp in Faridabad and at that time I was unable to do day-to-day work due to excessive pain in my body and I was taking atleast 6-7 Sorbitrate tablets per day. I immediately started the EECP treatment and Detox Therapy along with diet and lifestyle changes including yoga, and meditation, and followed a zero oil diet plan for 40 days. For 2 years I kept on following these lifestyle changes and now after 25 years I am completely fine and I am also able to do normal day-to-day activities very easily. All this was made possible SAAOL without any kind of bypass surgery or angioplasty.

Wife of Mr. Yash Pal

Year ago my husband was suffering from angina and discomfort in walking and doing sedentary activities. We heard about SAAOL through YouTube. We consulted Dr.Chhajer and were told that my husband’s Heart health could get better without surgery and with a few lifestyle changes. Post completion of the treatment his test reports only showed 50% blockage. He takes his regular medication and follows the SAAOL recommended Lifestyle like Zero Oil Cooking, Yoga, etc. His health is constantly improving. We are very grateful to SAAOL and Dr.Chhajer for his noble service for the society.

Ashok Gupta

About 6-7 months ago I suffered from minor angina due to which doctors told me to go for a stent. After 3 months, I had a Heart stroke which got me really worried about my health. A friend recommended Dr.Bimal’s YouTube channel and I got to know about Natural Bypass. . It is a process that treats Heart blockage without any surgery and I started my treatment immediately. I took 35 EECP sessions along with medication and followed the SAAOL Lifestyle. I am so relieved now as my condition has improved tremendously and I am at ease now. I would like to thank Dr.Chhajer for his advise and for healing lakhs of Heart patients the Natural way. I will definitely spread knowledge about this treatment to my near and dear ones.
