If you or someone you know is among the more than 7 million people in this country who suffer the crippling chest pain of angina pectoris, you should know about EECP® therapy.

The term Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP®) describes what happens during treatment. "Enhanced" refers to the state-of-the-art technology that has developed during decades of research and is used for EECP® treatment today. EECP® treatment is "external" because it happens outside the body and does not require surgery or other invasive procedures. Counterpulsation occurs between heart beats.

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

EECP® treatment promises to be one of the more important changes we have seen in the fight against heart disease. Click here to learn more.
