ECP increases
blood flow by creating collaterals
without surgery from outside the
body by creating special pressures.

ECP increases blood flow:
- To heart by 20-42%
- To brain by 22-26%
- To kidneys by 19%
ECP also increases heart's output
(stroke volume)
by 12% by reducing after load.
This improves LVEF.
This is done by:
• Dilating blood vessels - Small
blood vessels enlarge.
• Opening dormant blood vessels
lying closed since birth.
• Angiogenesis – Forming new blood
vessels.

ECP is a comfortable procedure.
Patient
lies on the ECP bed wearing eight
pressure cuffs - around calves,
thighs, hips and arms (older ECPs
had six cuffs). These increase blood
flow by heart beat synchronized
inflate and deflate synchronized
with the heartbeat to.
ECP
is done one or two hour a day
for 35 hour.
ECP means successfully fighting
Heart Disease
Upto 90%
patients improve. Most feel better
in 15 to 20 hours treatment. ECP
benefits last 3 to 7 years or more.
ECP is so successful that in USA
insurance reimbursement for ECP has
gone up by 6 % whereas that for
other procedures like angioplasty,
bypass surgery etc. has decreased by
7%.
ECP a recognized treatment
worldwide
ECP is internationally recognized
by FDA (USA), CE Mark (Europe)
etc. ECP is mentioned in medical
textbooks. Many articles have been
published in the Journal of the
American College of Cardiology,
Cardiovascular Reviews Reports,
Cardiology, Mayo Clinical Proc.,
Clinical Cardiology, Journal of
External Counter Pulsation, etc.
ECP is available.
ECP is available world-wide in
most leading hospitals such as
Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins,
JFK Medical Centre, Mayo Clinic,
Miami Heart Institute, Texas Heart
Institute, Hammersmith Hospital,
London, etc
Current status and the
expected future of ECP
Leading technology for treating
cardiovascular disease is slowly
moving from very invasive methods
to less invasive. Medical history
is witnesses that in the seventies
bypass surgery was the big news in
the treatment of coronary artery
disease. In the eighties it was
balloon angioplasty and in the
nineties it was the stent now we
can move still a step further to a
totally noninvasive treatment with
ECP. The Future belongs to those
who succeed and ECP in now
provided world-wide by leading
hospitals. The success of ECP can
be judged by the fact that in the
US Medicare reimbursement rate for
ECP has increased by 7% whereas
that for other procedures like
angioplasty and bypass surgery
decreased by 6%.
Trained doctors at Sibia Medical
Centre are well trained in ECP
Dr.Sibia has been trained at Red
Cross Hospital, Canton and at
Guangzhou Medical Apparatus &
Instrument Factory (China) where
ECP originated. Sibia Medical
Centre introduced ECP in North
India in 2002 and is authorized by
the Chinese to train doctors in
ECP.
All
EC P machines are not the same -
compare the machines and the
doctor's experience before deciding
the treatment.
For best results -
Have treated by the best ECP
machines at the most experienced
medical centre.
Don’t
let the names confuse you –
ECP (External Counter
Pulsation) is the generic term for
the treatment.
There are brands by
different manufacturers which may be
misleading: like ASECP, EECP,
Lifepulse, Cardiacassist, etc
FDA(USA) clarified
that they are all ECPs for same
purpose but may vary in design and
output.
(and hence
effectiveness).
ECP
machines can be classifies as
follows:
1st generation
ECPs - Hydraulic, positive pressure
2nd generation
ECPs - Pneumatic, positive pressure
3rd generation
ECPs - Pneumatic, positive pressure,
sequential
4th generation
ECPs - Pneumatic, positive /
negative pressure, sequential
5th generation
ECPs - Pneumatic, positive /
negative pressure (augmented),
sequential with arm cuffs for more
efficacy and possibility of treating
cerebral circulatory disorders also
Our ECP
has all the above feature - many do
not have active negative pressure
deflation and arm cuffs thus
decreasing their efficacy.
To provide you the
best we have the best – we keep up
with the time
Hence
before you decide where to have the
treatment - check:
•Are
you being misguided by the name?
•Have
you compared the features of the
different ECPs available – are you
being treated with the latest
generation ECP or the ones obsolete
abroad.
Because
we understand you.

Which patients can benefit by
ECP and ACT?
Patients with decreased
circulation anywhere can be
treated such as:
Patients not fit
for angioplasty and bypass
surgery or do not want them
Before angioplasty
or bypass to improve the cardiac
status before surgery.
Patients with
failed bypass or recurrence
after bypass
Cerebral ischaemia,
atherosclerosis, embolism, TIA,
Vertebro-basilar insufficiency,
Senile Dementia, Alzheimer
disease, Cerebellar ataxia,
Hearing deficiency,
Memory Disorders, etc
Vascular headache
and migraine
Parkinsonism
Renal hypertension
Chronic fatigue
syndrome
Decreased sexual
functioning due to erectile
dysfunction
To increase sports
performance
How are ACT and ECP
beneficial in so many
conditions?
ACT and ECP are beneficial
in all these conditions
because all of them are due
to decreased blood flow to
the affected organ. As ACT
and ECP increase circulation
they benefit disease in any
part of the body due to
decreased blood flow.

What are the advantages of
ECP and ACT?
They are effective,
economical, Non-surgical,
and non-invasive without
hospital stay.
Are the treatments safe and
comfortable?
Yes, They are safe and
comfortable. patients can
listen to music or see
television during the
treatment. Some patients
even sleep during the
treatment.
Are ECP and ACT possible
before angioplasty and
bypass or if they fail?
Yes, thousands of patients
have been saved from
angioplasty and bypass with
ECP and ACT. ACT and ECP
also improve heart function
so patients can stand the
surgery better. ECP and ACT
after failed angiography and
bypass and in those not fit
for them can be life saving
treatments.
How does
the patient know he has
improved?
The patients feel better and
they test better.
Patient can walk
more.
Patient can walk
faster
Patient has less
Chest pain
Patient can better
Breathing
Sorbitrate need
decreases
General look and
skin colour improve
Feel increased
energy & work capacity.
Less fatigue
Decreased pain in
the legs
Improved sexual
performance
Improved mental
ability and memory
Which tests can show improvement with ECP and ACT?
Tests that document blood
flow show the improvement
with ECP and ACT.
Improvement can be assessed
by following pre and post
treatment tests:
Tress Thallium
Cardiovascular
Cartography
TMT. |

Pre
and post ECP stress
|
 |
|
|
Can Angiography assess ECP and
ACT progress?
Angiography shows physical
stenosis and not flow. As flow
is not proportionate to the
degree of stenosis hence
angiography is not a good enough
test for documenting
improvement. ECP and ACT
increase circulation by
affecting the smaller blood
vessels which are not visible
with ordinary angiography.
However angiography in
experiments on dogs has shown
increased collaterals.
Cost of ACT
International
treatment at Indian rates.
International patients can save
thousands of Dollars
– See or Pilgrimage India + Get
yourself treated + save money

ADDRESS AT THE 2ND WORLD CONGRESS ON
INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY AT MUMBAI
25-02-2005 : Through
Video Conference From New Delhi
Cardiac Care with
Heart
(Extracts)
The
poorest of the poor have as much
right as anyone to less pain after
surgery, reduced medication, less
morbidity, shorter hospitalization,
and early return to home, family,
and work.
……………………… Indian population is
highly susceptible for coronary
heart diseases that too at a
relatively young age irrespective of
where they live.
Progress in Treatment of Coronary
Artery Disease
We have
all witnessed the treatment of
cardiovascular disease moving from
very invasive to less invasive
methods. In the seventies bypass
surgery was the big news, in the
eighties it was balloon angioplasty
and in the nineties it was the stent. |
|
Now,
moving a step further is a
totally non-invasive treatment -
EXTERNAL COUNTER PULSATION (ECP),
a truly non-operative,
non-pharmaceutical, safe and
effective treatment which has
made big news in the west. ECP
is FDA (USA) approved and finds
reference in medical and
cardiology textbooks. Many
favorable articles have been
published in the Journal of the
American College of Cardiology,
Cardiovascular Reviews Reports,
Cardiology, Mayo Clinical Proc.,
Clinical Cardiology, Journal of
Critical Illness, Journal of
External Counter Pulsation, etc.
The success of ECP can be judged
from the fact that in USA the
insurance sector reported that
the |
 |
|
|
reimbursement for ECP has gone up by
6 % whereas that of other procedure
like angioplasty, bypass surgery,
etc. has come down by 7%.
Now the
treatment is available in most of
the leading hospitals of the world.
In India, ECP is available at Sibia
Medical Centre, Ludhiana besides
Escort Heart Institute and Research
Centre, New Delhi, Peoples General
Hospital, Bhopal, Jamnagar etc. It
is well known that following bypass
surgery - only 75% patients are
symptom free for 5 years or more and
only 50% after 10 years or more. The
number of patients having recurrence
after bypass, ballooning and
stenting is increasing and for them
ECP is the only FDA approved
treatment available which is
documented to increases blood supply
to the heart by 20-42%, to the brain
by 22-26% and to the kidneys by 19%.
ECP also increases heart's output.
More patients now prefer
non-invasive treatments. With
improved cerebral circulation
patients may notice improved memory,
etc. This 2nd World Congress may
like to study this technique of ECP
EXTERNAL COUNTER PULSATION for
providing non-invasive cardiac care.
………………..
Another feature which has been
noticed is that there is a
competition, between cardiologists
and surgeons in treating heart
cases. The ideal practice should be
to provide only the minimum
essential treatment instead of going
in for surgical intervention as a
routine management of the disease.
Conclusion
As
we have discussed, Gene Chip, Stem
Cell research and EXTERNAL COUNTER
PULSATION have applications for many
diseases relevant to India
particularly cardiac diseases..
- It is
essential to carry out research
which will enable interventional
cardiologists to provide totally
non-invasive treatment to cardiac
patients.
-
…………….. there are some hospitals who
provide free cardiac-care to certain
percentage of patients ………… . I
suggest this model could be emulated
by all the cardiologists …………..

“ Even surgeons
now acknowledge the benefits”
says Dr. Ashok Seth,Head
of the Department,Invasive and
Inter-Ventional
Cardiology,Escorts Heart
Institute and Research Centre,
“ The Surgeons were not
sure of the benefits of ECP
earlier,but now it has been
proved to be a very useful
alternative therapy.”
PUNJAB KESARI
15TH APRIL,2002
As per Dr. M.Khalilullah,
Ex-Director of G.B.Pant Hospital
& a well known
cardiologist, “ People
in America prefer to be treated
by ECP as this is a very safe
and assured therapy to get rid
of heart diseases. The best
thing is that ECP is a very easy
procedure where as in By-pass,
Ballooning and other techniques,
the patient has to undergo
painful process.”
PUNJAB KESARI
Jallandhar 26th MARCH , 2002
As per Dr. S.S.Sibia and Dr.
Harpreet Kaur Sibia “Those
patients who do not wish to get
the angioplasty or bypass
surgery or who do not get relief
in angina pain with medicines or
are suffering with Cardiogenic
Shock or Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome,cantake the treatment
with ECP technique. This
technique has neither any side
effects nor the patients have to
undergo surgery. They are not
even required to be
hospitalized”
TRIBUNE NEWS
SERVICE, NEW DELHI 4TH Nov. 2001
Speaking at an impressive
gathering of leading national
and international cardiologists
and cardiac surgeons at the
first All-India ECP Conference
2001 today, eminent
cardiologist Dr Naresh Trehan,
Director , Escorts Heart
Institute and Research Centre,
said the ECP treatment was very
popular in the USA and China and
already more than 150 centres
had been established within a
short period of time. “It is a
safe and efficacious procedure.
It is a proven non-invasive
outpatient procedure to relieve
the angina by increasing the
oxygen delivery to the heart
muscles”, he added.
Dr Harbans ,S.Wasir
,former Professor and Head,
Department of Cardiology,AIIMS ,
and presently Director
,Department of Cardiology ,Batra
Hospital,
said using the ECP technique
without surgery and angioplasty
could decrease the severity and
frequency of the angina. This
treatment could decrease the
need for medication and improve
the ability to participate in
normal day-to-day activities.
