EECP Therapy in Pune - Non surgical Heart treatment

EECP Therapy for Heart Diseases

EECP therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce symptoms of heart disease. It is commonly used for patients with angina or coronary artery disease who are looking for a safe and effective alternative to invasive procedures. By enhancing circulation and supporting natural bypass formation, EECP therapy helps improve heart function and overall quality of life.

EECP therapy treatment to improve blood flow in heart patients

EECP therapy is a non-surgical approach for improving heart function and perfusion. If alternative treatments have failed to relieve angina or chest pain symptoms, EECP treatment may be explored. By encouraging the growth of tiny branches, it forms a natural detour around constricted or obstructed arteries.

Working of EECP Therapy

The EECP for heart block is part of our Cardiology program and involves wearing a series of cuffs on both legs. It gently but thoroughly compresses the blood arteries in the lower limbs, which increases blood flow into the heart. Each pressure wave is electronically synchronized to the heartbeat to ensure that your heart receives enhanced blood flow at regular intervals. When the heart beats again, the pressure is released instantly, lowering resistance in the blood arteries in the legs and promoting easy blood pumping from your heart. EECP may open tiny or collateral blood channels in the heart, which may eventually become and natural bypasses & veins. This increased blood supply to the cardiac muscles also relieves chest pain.

Benefits of EECP Therapy

  • Decreases the symptoms of angina
  • Increases energy and exercise tolerance
  • Improves blood circulation by increasing collateral blood circulation.
  • Safe, effective, and approved by cardiologists

Who is eligible for ECP therapy?

EECP therapy in Pune aims to treat heart patients who:
  • Have chronic, stable angina.
  • Have a history of heart disease or poor blood circulation
  • Patients who did not experience the relief with Nitrates, calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers drugs.
  • Are the safest option for patients not fit for invasive measures such as angioplasty, stent  or bypass surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions:

EECP is a non-invasive, FDA-approved “natural bypass” therapy that uses synchronized pressure cuffs on the legs to improve blood flow to the heart.

It stimulates the growth of new micro-vessels, allowing patients to treat blockages and chest pain without surgery, injections, or hospitalization.

EECP works by using leg cuffs that inflate when the heart rests to push oxygen-rich blood into the coronary arteries, stimulating the growth of new “natural bypass” vessels.

When the heart pumps, the cuffs deflate instantly, reducing the heart’s workload and allowing it to circulate blood more easily throughout the body.

During a 60-minute session, you lie comfortably while EKG-synchronized cuffs apply a firm, rhythmic “milking” sensation to your legs to boost heart circulation.

Since the treatment is painless and non-invasive, you can relax, listen to music, or nap, and then immediately return to your daily activities with no downtime.

A full course of EECP therapy typically requires 35 hours of treatment, usually scheduled as one hour per day, five days a week, for seven weeks.

While each individual session lasts just 60 minutes with zero recovery time, completing the full 35-day cycle is essential to trigger the growth of new “natural bypass” blood vessels.

  • EECP is ideal for patients with chest pain (angina) or heart failure, especially those who cannot undergo surgery or wish to avoid invasive bypass and stents.

    It is also used by individuals seeking to improve overall circulation, boost energy, or enhance athletic recovery through better oxygen delivery and vascular health.
