	Aneva the Friendly Heart Treatment Option. Aneva is based on the guiding principle of preventive and non invasive therapy. It aims at preventing heart attack and cutting down the unnecessary morbidity. It uses the ECP therapy along with diet plans, exercise, yoga, & other specialized therapies. India being the world leader in heart disease incidents definitely needs to make a lot of simillar efforts for a better future. External Counter Pulsation (ECP) therapy is the gateway to a more active lifestyle. Developed specifically as a heart therapy to alleviate Angina and congestive heart failure symptoms, ECP is a non- invasive, out patient treatment option that has been successful in returning patients to their active lifestyles, whether that’s on the golf course, in the garden, or traveling the globe.

	What is ECP Therapy? ECP therapy is a clinically proven non invasive treatment option available to patients with angina or congestive heart failure. (CHF) is primarily used in patients that have been unresponsive to other therapies, in order to relieve this comfort and improve quality of life. ECP therapy works to improve circulation to the heart muscle, increase oxygen rich blood flow to the heart and reducing the work load on the heart. ECP therapy can help build new path ways around blocked arteries in the heart by expanding networks of tiny collateral blood vessels that facilitate blood flow to the heart muscle. What Happens during an ECP treatment? ECP treatment is a simple and comfortable procedure. The patient relaxes on a comfortably padded mattress while a trained nurse or therapist wraps the muscular areas of the patient’s calves, thighs, buttocks with pneumatic cuffs, similar to blood pressure cuffs. Hoses connect the cuffs to an air pressure/ vacuum pump enclosed within the bed base. The patient will feel the sensation of a strong “Hug” moving upwards from the calves to the thighs, to the buttocks as the cuffs inflate and deflate. Each cycle is electronically synchronized with the individual heart beats. The patient can relax and talk to visitors, watch TV or video, listen to music, or even take a nap during the hour long procedure. A typical course of treatment requires 35 one hour sessions administered once daily, five days a week, for seven weeks. Many patients report, feeling improvement after as few as 10 treatment sessions. What are the benefits of ECP therapy? ECP therapy has demonstrated success in over 80% of patients treated, with significant improvement in relief of angina, increased endurance and reduction on dependence on medication. It has been shown to reduce or eliminate the frequency and intensity of angina, ultimately allowing patients to experience an improved quality of life and increased exercise tolerance. Is ECP right for me? While ECP therapy has been proven clinically safe and effective you should consult your physician as to whether you are considered a candidate for this heart treatment, as well as any risk and complication factors which may be involved.
