Success with EECP® Treatment (Case Study No. 1 )
72-year-old male patient with two previous myocardial infarctions and bypass surgery![](images/case1_chart.gif)
![](images/case1.gif)
Markedly improved anterior, septal, and inferior wall perfusion
Evaluation | Outcome |
Ischemic cardiomyopathyProgressive angina with minimal exertion100 percent occlusion of proximal portions of all three native coronary arteriesMaintained on medical therapy | Following 35 sessions (lasting one hour each) of EECP® treatmentLeft ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) increased by 80 percent from baselineFunctional status and chest pain improved markedlyPost-treatment stress test showed improved cardiac perfusion and function |
Success with EECP® Treatment (Case Study No. 2 )
27-year-old male patient with family history of hyperlipidemia![](images/case2_chart.gif)

Markedly improved anteroseptal and inferior wall perfusion in post-EECP® treatment stress scintogram
Evaluation | Outcome |
Exertional angina1.5-2.0 mm horizontal ST segment depression on exercise treadmill test100 percent occlusion of mid-right coronary artery100 percent occlusion of mid-left anterior descending coronary artery95 percent blockages in both proximal mid-right coronary artery and small branch of left circumflex coronary arteryConsidered not suitable for interventional therapy | Following 35 sessions (lasting one hour each) of EECP® treatment Angina was completely eliminated at normal levels of exertion Post-treatment radionuclide stress testing showed marked improvement in myocardial perfusion |
Success with EECP® Treatment (Case Study No.3 )
72-year-old male patient with history of diabetes, gout, hypertension, triple-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD)![](images/case3_chart.gif)
![](images/case3.gif)
Markedly improved anteroseptal and inferior wall perfusion in post-EECP® treatment using stress scintogram
Evaluation | Outcome |
Stable anginaPreviously declined bypass, maintained on medicationStress test suggested progression of CADSevere hypoperfusion of inferior wall and apex with stress perfusion | Following 35 sessions (lasting one hour each) of EECP® treatment Post-treatment stress testing revealed marked improvement in myocardial perfusion Increased exercise ability Chest pain symptoms were eliminated Patient no longer required nitroglycerin |
