Who benefits from ECP Treatment?

Nearly everyone with coronary artery disease, angina, or congestive heart failure can benefit from ECP. It is particularly well-suited to people who:

Are not candidates for surgery due to other medical conditions
Do not want to undergo surgery for whatever reasons
Are diabetic renders more complications with surgery
Have small vessels to be used at the calf (often women)
Rely on medications or curtail their activities to avoid angina and other heart disease symptoms
Who are waiting for angioplasty, stents or by-pass surgery and may be you don’t need the procedure thereafter.
