Non-Surgical Heart Treatment (EECP) to Avoid Bypass Surgery and Angioplasty

EECP can be provided for a patient who has established heart diseases or a patient who wants to have better control over the cardiac risk factors, this risk factor includes diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and also a patient who is not willing to undergo an angiogram and further intervention procedure. EECP act as a regular exercise it increases the blood flow to the heart muscle as aggressive exercise can do. So it can also be taken by patients who cannot able to do exercise because of arthritis or old age or they cannot exercise because of their symptoms.

Many times patients do an angiogram because the symptoms are not controlled by medical management. After the angiogram, the patient has suggested either bypass surgery or angioplasty and if the patient is not willing to invasive and expensive therapy, EECP could be a good alternative, because EECP improves the blood supply across the blocked arteries like an exercise and benefits the patient. When the cardiologist, the cardiothoracic surgeon looked at your angiogram they may say all the vessels cannot be grafted or stented in the sense if you have three or four lesions the interventional cardiologist or a cardiothoracic surgeon may give an opinion that only one or two-vessel can be grafted or stented and another vessel can be left behind what we called as a partial re-vascularization. It is not a complete attempt to address all the obstructions only a couple of obstructions are addressed and other obstructions are left behind. Rather than going for bypass surgery and angioplasty, EECP could be a very effective and attractive alternative. Because it can improve the blood supply across all the coronary arteries rather than focusing on a single vessel. Coronary artery rather than focusing on a single vessel.

And the other group of patients is after an angiogram the interventional cardiologist may discuss with you and tell you that your case is high risk for an interventional procedure, high-risk angioplasty in these type of situation also EECP could be the best alternative for this patient. Finally, there is another group of the patient which is increasing across the nation because of the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension and non-adherent to the medical management because these patients even after undergoing bypass surgery and angioplasty because of their poor lifestyle may tend to get a graft occlusion or Restenosis bypass graft which they have put has closed or the stent they have put has closed. We call it restenosis in the theses case repeating the procedure whether it is bypass or angioplasty, carry very high mortality or very high death rate. So in this group of patients, EECP would be a safe alternative to improve the blood circulation to the heart muscle without undergoing this expensive and high-risk procedure.

There is another group of patients who we call heart failure because of the myocardial infarction or heart attack. The patient will tend to get drastically reduced pumping function. Once it is reduced carrying out any interventional procedure whether it is bypass or angioplasty involves very high risk and most physicians or interventional cardiologists would try to avoid this patient. Suggesting EECP treatment for this patient would improve the quality of life and walking distance. So EECP is a non-invasive option for all these groups of the patient and it can able effectively relieve the symptom and put them back into their normal routine activity.
