EECP-a New Term for Anti-aging Treatment
Dr. Hussain was speaking at the inauguration of the Indian Patient EECP Registry in Chennai. The registry- funded by Vasco-Meditech- is an endeavor of Frontier Lifeline Hospital, which will have 30 centers that provide the treatment across the country and would share data with the international registry in Pittsburgh University, Pennsylvania, U.S. The hospital will be the centralized chief coordinating centre for the registry. The registry is expected to provide an important database for cardiologists to choose on the mode of treatment.
The registry will also conduct national multi-centric studies to observe arterial stiffness pattern in the Indian population, thus giving insight into the incidence of premature coronary artery disease in the younger age group.
EECP is widely used in the western countries. It was developed in Harvard University in the 1950s but it was in the 1980s that a Chinese group reported a large-scale use of this technique. It is a non-invasive outpatient procedure.
EECP is a mechanical procedure in which long inflatable cuffs (like blood pressure cuffs) are wrapped around both of the patient’s legs. While the patient lies on a bed, the leg cuffs are inflated and deflated with each heartbeat. This is accomplished by means of a computer, which triggers off the patient’s ECG so that the cuffs deflate just as each heartbeat begins, and inflate just as each heartbeat ends. When the cuffs inflate they do so in a sequential fashion, so that the blood in the legs is “milked” upwards, toward the heart. The milking action of the leg cuffs increases the blood flow to the coronary arteries.

EECP may help some patients with coronary problems but what is anti-ageing about it I fail to understand. I think it is just a marketing hyphe and nothing else. This kind of publicity is probably to recruit patients for the trial.
