EECP therapy is a boon for long-term COVID patients

 


EECP is a non-invasive approach that has been found to enhance cerebral and heart perfusion. When EECP patients arrive at the clinic, they lie down on a treatment table and have three sets of pneumatic cuffs placed on their calves, thighs, and lower hips. The mechanism for the cuffs to consecutively inflate from the legs up to the hips during the heart's resting phase is a three-lead electrocardiogram. The cuffs deflate simultaneously with the heart's beginning of the contraction phase. The heart muscle and the rest of the body are both subjected to the regulated inflation and deflation. A patient may have up to 35 therapy sessions over the course of a week, each lasting an hour.

New research demonstrates that extended COVID, a condition that affects endothelial function and vascular health, is a disease. EECP is a non-invasive, disease-modifying treatment that has been proved in controlled clinical trials to enhance endothelial function.

Worldwide, an estimated 50% of COVID-19 patients have symptoms that continue six months after the acute phase of the infection, with the severity of the long-term symptoms varying.

The difference from baseline for patients with long COVID alone was significant for all endpoints, according to the researchers, and there was no discernible distinction between patients with long COVID without CAD and those with CAD.

The global burden of heart attacks is a pressing health concern, affecting millions of individuals and posing a significant challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), heart attacks, or myocardial infarctions, contribute significantly to the global burden of cardiovascular diseases. Heart attacks are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, causing both short-term and long-term health consequences. The impact extends beyond the individual, affecting families, communities, and economies. Several factors contribute to the global burden of heart attacks, including lifestyle choices, such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and tobacco use. Additionally, the rise in risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity further amplifies the prevalence of heart attacks on a global scale. Efforts to address this burden involve comprehensive public health strategies, emphasizing preventive measures, early detection, and accessible...

How to keep Heart Healthy in Winter Season!

  How to keep Heart Healthy in Winter Season! The cold is among the most common health concerns that individuals have in the winter, yet a lot of people mistakenly link this danger to serious illnesses like hypothermia or frostbite. On the other hand, your health—especially your heart—may be adversely affected by a sudden change in temperature. In view of this, it's critical to comprehend the cause and methods for safeguarding our hearts within this weather. Let's discuss why heart attacks occur more frequently in the winter and how to avoid them.   Why Heart Attack common in Winter? The cold causes blood vessels to contract. This may also the reason to increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Angina, or chest pain from coronary heart disease, can worsen during the winter months due to coronary artery constriction. In cold weather, your heart has to work harder to keep your body temperature steady. Winter winds may make things more difficult since they drive y...

EECP Treatment: A Non-surgical Treatment for Angina and Heart diseases.

  Heart conditions like angina can be treated non-invasively, painlessly, and outside of the hospital with EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation). It has been suggested as an alternative to conventional treatments like angioplasty and bypass surgery for coronary artery disease (CAD) because it is safe and non-invasive. Up to 35 hours of EECP treatment may be administered, one hour per day. The patient is requested to take a seat comfortably while receiving therapy, and then his or her legs, thighs, and buttocks are wrapped in thick cuffs. Between each heartbeat, these cuffs expand and deflate at predetermined regular intervals. The cuffs are inflated when the heart is at rest (when it receives its oxygen supply) and deflate when rest ends, ideally before the subsequent beating. The timing of the cuffs is controlled and monitored by an electrocardiogram. A sensor is fastened to the tip of the patient's finger, and it measures the amount of oxygen in the blood as well as t...
