OXYFLOW Heartmate- External Counter Pulsation

ECP therapy is a non-invasive & Pain-less treatment that helps alleviate symptoms of angina by increasing blood flow to the coronary arteries and heart muscle, ECP helps re-vascularize the heart muscle through the development of collateral vessels. Collateral vessels help to increase blood supply to the heart muscle. ECP also helps in Heart Failure Recovery & Stroke Recovery. ECP helps significantly to improve LV function.
Studies indicate that ECP increases myocardial perfusion by 20-42%, cerebral vascular flow by 20-26% and renal flow by 18-20%

What is OXYFLOW ECP and how it works?

ECP / EECP is a clinically proven, safe, economical and effective outpatient treatment procedure. Here, the patient lays on a treatment table with pneumatic cuffs (like cuffs used in blood pressure apparatus) on their calves, thighs and buttocks. The contraction is timed according to the heart beat (cardiac cycle) and the blood is pumped only when the heart is relaxing after a contraction (diastole). During diastole blood is squeezed from lower extremities starting at calves, then thighs and then buttocks sequentially. This results in delivering high volume of blood into the coronary arteries. This is called inflation (augmentation). Then before the start of next cardiac cycle (systole), the cuffs deflate simultaneously thus helps in systolic unloading. This action results in reducing workload & afterload, which helps to circulate the blood back form heart to the other parts of the body.

In this way, numerous collateral vessels are created forming “multiple natural bypasses” between the vessels of the heart. Symptoms of chest pain and breathlessness may also be relieved. ECP improves hearts Ejection Fraction and exercise tolerance.

Mechanism of Action

ECP is not just a cardio vascular treatment device. ECP is a sheer magic. It works on the entire vascular system. It revitalizes all vital organs. It improves micro collateral circulations in every tissue of the body. We visualise that ECP would play a crucial role in future; no matter how much it is resisted.

Benefits

OXYFLOW Heartmate is for clinical applications.Primarily it is a non-invasive treatment device used in cardiologist offices or in rehabilitation centers. OXYFLOW Heartmate may also be useful in other vasculogenic disorders like stroke, diabetes mellitus, diabetic wounds etc. ECP is a sheer magic. It works on the entire vascular system. It revitalizes all vital organs. It improves micro collateral circulations in every tissue of the body. We visualise that ECP would play a crucial role in future medicine; no matter how much it is resisted.

Improves Endothelial Function & Angiogenesis

Studies have shown that ECP increases the levels of nitric oxide (NO) – potent vasodilator and decreases the levels of endothelin (vasoconstrictor) in the blood. This results in formation of new collateral blood vessels (angiogenesis) and hence improving circulation. The major advantage of ECP is that it not only improves the blood supply in the heart muscles; but also, in the entire vascular system. Thus, benefiting all vital organs.

Reduces Oxidative Stress:

Diastolic Augmentation & Improved LV EF:

OXYFLOW ECP increases diastolic pressure over systolic pressure. ECP increases venous return, cardiac output, and preload in addition to diastolic augmentation and systolic unloading. This results in reduction of cardiac workload and afterload. These actions may play important roles in the clinical benefits of ECP therapy in Heart failure cases.
