Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you suffer from or are at risk for heart disease, surgery and invasive procedures are not your only options. There is a noninvasive, safe, and painless treatment that is clinically proven to be more successful in reversing the effects of the disease, improving blood circulation, and strengthening the cardiovascular system, all for a fraction of the medical costs. This groundbreaking procedure is called enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP), and it has been the best-kept secret in medicine-until now.Doctors have discovered that invasive procedures that treat specific artery blockages offer only a short-term fix for the underlying problem: poor blood flow. Using blood pressure cuffs to help push blood through the body, EECP promotes the development of new blood vessels to naturally bypass coronary blockages, restoring the flow of healthy, oxygenated blood to the heart. As a result, EECP reduces or eliminates symptoms such as chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath; increases energy and stamina; and returns heart patients to activities they thought they had given up forever. In HEAL YOUR HEART WITH EECP, Dr. Debra Braverman dispenses critical information about this revolutionary treatment.EECP patients are less likely than bypass, angioplasty, and stent patients to have a heart attack or require hospital stays.EECP is the ideal weapon in the fight against heart disease for patients battling obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and more.EECP brings none of the risks of surgery or invasive procedures and is provided in an outpatient setting.EECP is approved by the FDA and Medicare and covered by most private insurers, and it is appropriate for nearly all heart disease sufferers, regardless of age, size, or other medical conditions.
Download or read book Enhancing Heart Health with EECP written by EECP CENTRE MALAYSIA and published by EECP CENTRE MALAYSIA. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite advancements in medical technology and treatments, millions of people continue to suffer from heart disease and its debilitating effects. While conventional treatments such as medication, angioplasty, and bypass surgery have helped countless patients, they are not always effective or appropriate for everyone. Fortunately, there is an alternative treatment option that has been gaining recognition and popularity in recent years: Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP). EECP is a non-invasive, outpatient therapy that has been shown to improve heart function and alleviate symptoms of heart disease. It involves the use of inflatable cuffs that are wrapped around the patient’s calves, thighs, and buttocks to gently compress and decompress the blood vessels in those areas. This increases blood flow to the heart and other vital organs, improving circulation and oxygenation. We have seen firsthand the transformative effects of this therapy. Patients who were once struggling to perform simple daily tasks due to heart disease have experienced significant improvements in their quality of life, including reduced symptoms and a decreased risk of heart attack and stroke. In this book, “Enhancing Heart Health with EECP,” We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of EECP therapy and its benefits. Through my experience as an award-winning author and practitioner, we will delve into the science behind EECP, explain how it works, and explore the many ways in which it can benefit patients with heart disease. Whether you are a patient, a caregiver, or a medical professional, this book will serve as a valuable resource for understanding and utilizing this innovative treatment.

This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. S. Ramasamy has 20 years of experience in the field of non-invasive cardiology as a researcher, academic speaker, clinical trainer, and treatment provider—this has a tremendous impact on the uniqueness of this book. The book seamlessly provides golden rules for EECP waveform adjustments. Internationally, one of the significant issues in EECP treatment implementation is a definitive lacuna in training cardiologists, general physicians, clinical experts, and nurse practitioners in the clinical application of EECP. This book addresses these issues by being a great training companion and serves as a teaching tool for beginners as well as those who want to advance their knowledge in EECP treatment. It contains beautiful color illustrations and flowcharts to make complex principles easy to understand. The author has given more attention by placing actual waveforms obtained during treatment to reinforce the practical problems encountered during EECP and how to correct it. The case-based approach followed in the book will help the readers to understand as well as learn quickly and effortlessly. Overall, it is a book every practicing physician and EECP provider should have with them as a one-point reference guide.
Download or read book Getting Pumped written by Robert S. Rister and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time you have had seven percutaneous coronary interventions, eight angioplasties, and eight stents, you may decide "Enough is enough." At least author Robert Rister did. When a fourth doctor placed a fourth stent in the same segment of the same artery, a stent inside a stent inside a stent inside a stent, he asked what the doctor could do if the artery closed yet again."Well just give you another stent," the doctor replied. That's when Rister asked for and got a referral for a non-surgical, no-drugs approach to healing the heart called enhanced external counterpulsation therapy, or EECP.Getting Pumped: How to Heal Your Heart with EECP tells you how to access a tested, reliable, and FDA-approved method of building new arteries that most heart patients have never heard of. EECP stimulates the body to grow new blood vessels to route flow around most blockages. It has been FDA-approved since 1995. It is covered by insurance. It does not hurt. It requires no medications other than the medications you already take. The results of 35 hours of treatment usually last several years. Over 80 percent of patients who get EECP have little or no residual angina and sharply increased levels of energy in just seven weeks.This book answers some of the questions only patients will think to ask: How do we really know EECP can grow a new collateral artery? Will those new arteries last? Is there an EECP diet? What can I do to preserve the gains I make during EECP to become even more active and alive?In Getting Pumped, Robert Rister shares the latest understanding of an incredibly effective method of treating heart disease that most doctors overlook. And he shares basic knowledge of this technique from the perspective of someone who has been there and come back healthier than ever before.Health/Heart HealthPrinted in 14 pt Garamond type

Download or read book Treating the Aching Heart written by Lawson R. Wulsin and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is depression bad for heart disease? And how does heart disease contribute to depression? And why is treatment for depressed people with heart disease so often inadequate? Through personal vignettes, accessible scientific explanations, and medical illustrations, Treating the Aching Heart traces the vicious cycle of depression and heart disease and points the way to better care based on cutting-edge science. The book presents a new view of depression as a broad-reaching illness with a distinct neurobiology that influences the most up-to-date model of heart disease. Treating the Aching Heart provides a window into the most studied mind-body problem, the interaction between the brain and the heart. Though many mysteries remain, in no other area is the relationship between a mental disorder and a physical disorder better understood than in the study of depression and heart disease. Anyone who has suffered from depression (about one in four U.S. adults) or some form of heart disease (also about one in four), or has a close family member with either problem, will find this book a useful guide to treatment.
