An
estimated 12 million people in the U.S. suffer from coronary artery
disease; it is the No. 1 killer of Americans.
The
most common symptom of coronary artery disease is angina, also
known as chest pain. More than 7 million people in this country
suffer with this crippling pain.
Coronary
artery disease can lead to heart failure, a condition that affects
more than 5 million Americans with over 500,000 new cases diagnosed
each year.
Chances are that you or someone you know has been diagnosed with
coronary artery disease or heart failure. It's frightening when
you consider that these are serious conditions for which there
are no cures. The good news is these diseases can be managed,
and living a full and enjoyable life with the right treatment
and healthy lifestyle is possible. EECP®
therapy has been used extensively to eliminate or improve angina
for many patients, particularly those with congestive heart failure.
Many patients have reduced the need for nitroglycerin or eliminated
use altogether.
Developed by Vasomedical, Inc., EECP® has been tested in multicenter,
controlled, clinical studies, with positive medical results and
a demonstrated quality of life improvement. Enhancing your life's
rhythm is at the heart of EECP®. With Medicare coverage, there's
one more good reason to ask your doctor if EECP® is the treatment
for you.
EECP® treatment centers are located around the world.
