Heart blockage can sometimes return or develop after angioplasty, leaving patients wondering if another procedure is always necessary. This guide explains non surgical treatment for heart blockage after angioplasty, including medicines, lifestyle changes, cardiac rehabilitation, and EECP therapy for selected patients. Learn how these options may help manage symptoms and support long-term heart health under the guidance of a cardiologist.
Non-Surgical Treatment for Heart Blockage: Who May Be a Candidate for EECP?
If you’re looking for non-surgical treatment for heart blockage, EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) may be an option worth discussing with a cardiologist. EECP is a non-invasive therapy that uses inflatable cuffs around the legs to support blood flow to the heart and may help reduce angina symptoms in selected patients. In this guide, learn how EECP works, who may be a candidate, how it compares with angioplasty and bypass surgery, and what to consider before starting treatment at Cordis Heart Institute.
