Every 7 minutes in Canada, someone dies from heart disease or stroke. It has been estimated that heart attack risk can be reduced by up to 80% by using a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to treatment. EECP is a safe, non-invasive treatment accepted by mainstream medicine, Medicare approved, and available throughout the US and the world. EECP has been FDA approved since 1995 for treatment of stable angina, cardiogenic shock and for use during heart attacks. More recently in 2004, it was approved for treatment of congestive heart failure. In Canada, there are only two EECP units west of Toronto (Vancouver and Kamloops, BC) developed exclusively by Vasomedical, a US manufacturer that has patented a timing mechanism that makes the EECP machine the most efficient one in the market. This machine is used exclusively in the clinical research regarding the therapy and its application to heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, renal disease and other circulatory-related illnesses. EECP is beneficial for patients whether or not they have already undergone surgery. It is referred to as the “natural bypass” and can also prevent blockages from recurring. EECP therapy will be offered at our clinic starting August 2010 within a comprehensive naturopathic cardiovascular health program. Call for your consult today!
