Books about Counterpulsation from Amazon.com

Heart disease is the number one killer in America, claiming one life every minute. Bypasses, angio-plasties, and stents treat specific artery blockages, but doctors are discovering that these invasive procedures might be only a short-term fix for the underlying problem: poor blood flow. In HEAL YOUR HEART WITH EECP, Dr. Debra Braverman debunks common misconceptions about heart disease and explains a cutting-edge, noninvasive heart procedure known as enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). FDA-and Medicare-approved, EECP is cost-effective and, unlike surgery, completely safe and painless. Using blood pressure cuffs to push blood through the body, EECP actually helps promote the development of new blood vessels to naturally bypass clogged vessels and restore the flow of healthy, oxygenated blood to the heart. In doing so, EECP reduces or eliminates angina, increases energy and stamina, and returns patients to activities they thought they had given up forever. EECP is the primary heart disease treatment in China, yet U.S. doctors and patients are only beginning to realize its lasting benefits. HEAL YOUR HEART WITH EECP dispenses the critical information about heart disease and answers all questions about this revolutionary treatment..

This book describes External CounterPulsation, which is a painless, non-invasive, successful treatment for patients with heart disease and angina. Pressure cuffs wrapped around a patient's legs and hips squeeze the leg muscles in conjunction with the beating of the heart.

This amazing treatment even works in bypass failures..

A new way has now been found that does not use surgery to treat heart disease and its biggest symptom, angina. For the first time since the invention of heart surgery a unique program has been designed to treat angina using the body's own ability to heal itself! The latest in computer microprocessors, mechanical and electric engineering, physics and an in-depth understanding of the physiology of the coronary circulatory system has been combined by scientists to develop a treatment that encourages the heart to heal itself. This new, safe, simple and affordable technology is called External CounterPulsation.

ECP is a noninvasive procedure that allows patients to grow their own bypasses naturally. It often works, even in cases where bypass surgery or angioplasty has failed or wasn't completely successful..
