Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Care

ECP Therapy offers a safe, non-surgical treatment for individuals experiencing stable angina or other circulatory issues. By enhancing blood flow, this therapy can alleviate symptoms such as chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath.

Key Benefits of Treatment

Studies have clearly demonstrated chronic stable angina patients who respond well to ECP therapy often experience (1):

Reduces symptoms associated with heart disease

Improves exercise tolerance and energy levels

May decrease the need for certain medications

Hemodynamic Impact of ECP Therapy

Due to the hemodynamic effects of ECP, the benefits apply not only to the heart, but to the entire cardiovascular system. Enhanced blood circulation during the inflation and deflation of cuffs during the therapy, greatly increases shear stress (the frictional force on blood vessels), thereby stimulating production of Nitric Oxide.

Simultaneous deflation

Sequential inflation

Effective and Proven

Here are some key findings from extensive research into how the integration of ECP therapy can improve the patient quality of life, reduce long term treatment costs and re-hospitalisation.

Clinical Effects of ECP

Nitrate use (4)

Improvement in time to angina during exercise (4)

Improved exercise duration (4)

The benefits of therapy that last three or more years (1)

Additional benefits of ECP therapy

Long-term follow-up from the IEPR CCS classification (1)

Impact on hospitalisation

Impact of therapy on HF re-hospitalisations (6)
