Going by the trends in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in India, the country is likely to have 100 million heart patients, i.e nearly 60 per cent of the world’s heart patients by the year 2020, Though the average life expectancy of an Indian has increased by around 25 per cent due to reduction of burden of infectious diseases and malnutrition related disorders, there has been a phenomenal increase in the incidence of vascular disorders due to changes in life styles attributable to globalisation and urbanization. The more tragic part is that the cardiovascular disease affects the young population in the productive years with its crippling effects on the family and the society.

It is time for us to rethink how we manage cardiovascular disease and promote cardiovascular health. While traditional procedures such as angioplasty and bypass surgery are able to target individual blockages, they do nothing to address the underlying pathology of cardiovascular disease, as this is a systemic illness. Therefore, in order for a therapy to provide a lasting benefit, it must address the circulatory system as a whole. Over the last 50 years, External Counter Pulsation (ECP) has proven to be a safe, effective, and noninvasive means of accomplishing this goal, even for patients with severe, life-shortening conditions such as congestive heart failure. Patients undergoing ECP do not have to endure long hospital stays or lengthy periods of recuperation. They often begin to experience relief from angina and exercise intolerance as rapidly as halfway through the course of their therapy. If symptoms reoccur, patients can receive additional sessions of ECP immediately, without fear of injury.

Not only is ECP a safe and effective therapy for those who suffer from cardiovascular disease, it also holds great promise for assisting in the management of other common illnesses, including diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy, erectile dysfunction, hypertension, kidney disease, memory disorders, peripheral vascular disease, Parkinson’s disease, and. macular degeneration. In addition to the therapeutic benefit that it provides, ECP greatly improves the overall quality of patients’ lives, by giving them more energy and an enhanced ability to work, perform daily tasks and exercise, thus allowing them to enjoy a greater sense of well-being.

Cardiopulse Heart Care ( CHC ) has taken the initiative in association with various hospitals to fill this gape by providing high quality ECP treatment in reasonable and affordable charges.
