Chances are that you or someone you know has been diagnosed with coronary artery disease or heart failure. It's frightening when you consider that these are serious conditions for which there are no cures. The good news is these diseases can be managed, and living a full and enjoyable life with the right treatment and healthy lifestyle is possible. EECP therapy has been used extensively to eliminate or improve angina for many patients, particularly those with congestive heart failure. Many patients have reduced the need for nitroglycerin or eliminated use altogether.
