Success with EECP® Treatment (Case Study No. 1 )
72-year-old male patient with two previous myocardial infarctions and bypass surgery

Markedly improved anterior, septal, and inferior wall perfusion
Evaluation Outcome
Ischemic cardiomyopathyProgressive angina with minimal exertion100 percent occlusion of proximal portions of all three native coronary arteriesMaintained on medical therapy Following 35 sessions (lasting one hour each) of EECP® treatmentLeft ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) increased by 80 percent from baselineFunctional status and chest pain improved markedlyPost-treatment stress test showed improved cardiac perfusion and function

Success with EECP® Treatment (Case Study No. 2 )

27-year-old male patient with family history of hyperlipidemia

Markedly improved anteroseptal and inferior wall perfusion in post-EECP® treatment stress scintogram
Evaluation Outcome
Exertional angina1.5-2.0 mm horizontal ST segment depression on exercise treadmill test100 percent occlusion of mid-right coronary artery100 percent occlusion of mid-left anterior descending coronary artery95 percent blockages in both proximal mid-right coronary artery and small branch of left circumflex coronary arteryConsidered not suitable for interventional therapy Following 35 sessions (lasting one hour each) of EECP® treatment Angina was completely eliminated at normal levels of exertion Post-treatment radionuclide stress testing showed marked improvement in myocardial perfusion

Success with EECP® Treatment (Case Study No.3 )

72-year-old male patient with history of diabetes, gout, hypertension, triple-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD)

Markedly improved anteroseptal and inferior wall perfusion in post-EECP® treatment using stress scintogram
Evaluation Outcome
Stable anginaPreviously declined bypass, maintained on medicationStress test suggested progression of CADSevere hypoperfusion of inferior wall and apex with stress perfusion Following 35 sessions (lasting one hour each) of EECP® treatment Post-treatment stress testing revealed marked improvement in myocardial perfusion Increased exercise ability Chest pain symptoms were eliminated Patient no longer required nitroglycerin
