FROM THE HEALTH DOCTOR: Green Wells EECP Clinic The World's Best Kept Secret!
December 16, 2012Unknown
Approximately 80% of patients who complete the 35-hour course of EECP therapy experience significant symptom relief that may last up to three years. EECP therapy is an outpatient treatment for angina and heart failure. Treatments are usually given for an hour each day, five days a week, for a total of 35 hours. During the treatment, you lie on a comfortable treatment table with large blood pressure-like cuffs wrapped around your legs and buttocks. These cuffs inflate and deflate at specific times between your heartbeats.
A continuous electro cardiogram (ECG) is used to set the timing so the cuffs inflate while the heart is at rest, when it normally gets its supply of blood and oxygen. The cuffs deflate at the end of that rest period, just before the next heart beat. The special sensor applied to your finger checks the oxygen level in your blood and monitors the pressure waves created by the cuff inflation's and deflation's Please view our icon on How it works to view the video.
During the hearts resting phase, when it normally receives its supply of blood, the cuffs inflate, pushing oxygen rich blood towards your heart. Just before your heart begins to pump again, the cuffs rapidly deflate and blood leaves your heart without the muscle having to work as hard. You are a candidate for EECP if you check one of the following boxes.

The Worlds Best Kept Secret, GreenWells EECP Therapy. While the heart is resting the cuffs are inflated in rapid sequence from the calves upward, creating a pressure wave that increases diastolic pressure, coronary artery perfusion pressure, and blood flow to the heart muscle.
This compression of the blood vessels in the legs also increases the volume of the blood returned to the right side of the heart via the venous system. Deflation of all cuffs at the onset of the hearts contraction lowers the resistance of the heart must pump against, decreasing the hearts work load. When coupled with venoust return it significantly raises cardiac output. It is our mission at GreenWell EECP clinic to give our patients the opportunity to once again live their lives to the fullest.
We are eagerly, committed to helping every patient find the relief that they were looking for. Some say, but we are convinced the world's best kept secret is GreenWells EECP.
