Avoid By Pass Surgery

Grow new arteries through EECP

EECP is said to be a natural bypass because it stimulates collateral growth through the production of an important hormone called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Additionally EECP enhances secretion of a vasodilator called nitrous oxide, which helps dilate (open up) blood vessels. EECP therapy results in wider and more numerous collaterals increasing blood flow and naturally bypassing arterial blockage.

EECP opens new pathways for blood to flow, like a natural bypass? While you rest on the EECP machine, the counter pulsation stimulates growth of new arteries.

Your coronary arteries may become blocked with plaque, causing obstruction of blood flow, leading to chest pain and possibly heart attack. When blockages occur, some people naturally form new blood vessels called collaterals, which serve to bypass these obstructions. Unfortunately, not all people are predisposed to the formation of collaterals.
