What is enhanced external counterpulsation?
Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive treatment for angina and heart failure. It involves using inflatable cuffs on the legs to increase blood flow to the heart, improving oxygen supply to the heart muscle and reducing angina symptoms. EECP is often used when other treatments have not been effective.
What happens to carbon dioxide during external respiration?
During external respiration, carbon dioxide is released from the body by diffusing from the blood into the alveoli in the lungs. It is then exhaled out of the body during the process of breathing.
What is a word that means happens by itself?
The word you're looking for is "spontaneous." It means something that occurs naturally or without external influence.
What happens to a system when there are no external forces acting on it?
If there are no external forces acting on a system, it will remain in its current state of motion or rest. This is described by Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
Is the enhanced greenhouse effect essential for life on earth?
The greenhouse effect is essential to life on earth. The enhanced greenhouse effect is not. In fact if it is enhanced too quickly it can be harmful to life.
What is the purpose of enhanced external counterpulsation?
to restore blood flow to the heart and to relieve chest pain (angina) and ischemia
Where is a location that does Enhanced External Counterpulsation treatments?
Legacy Heart Care (www.legacyheartcare.com). They have locations in Fort Worth and Austin, Texas.
What conditions is enhanced external counterpulsation used to treat?
chronic stable angina, coronary artery disease, or high blood pressure.
To what procedures is enhanced external counterpulsation seen as an alternative?
Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is seen as an alternative to invasive procedures such as coronary artery bypass surgery, angioplasty, and stenting in the treatment of coronary artery disease. It is also used as a non-invasive option for patients who are not candidates for surgery or have not responded well to other treatments.
Of what information is a patient apprised before enhanced external counterpulsation?
the nature and purpose of the diagnostic procedure or treatment; the risks and benefits of the procedure; and alternatives, including the option of not proceeding

What conditions render a patient ineligible for enhanced external counterpulsation?
valve disease; uncontrolled arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms); severe hypertension; uncontrolled congestive heart failure; significant blockages or blood clots in the leg
What are some of the latest advances in non-surgical treatment for angina?
Enhanced External Counterpulsation were they put what looks like a giant blood pressure cuff on both legs and pump, they do this 1 hour a day for 7 weeks.This promotes the growth of small blood vessels, and lets the heart breath better wereas theirs less pain.
