Heart Flow (ECP) FAQ’s in Buffalo, NY

ECP Therapy can treat angina (pain in the chest, shoulder, or neck), dyspnea (shortness of breath), and general fatigue brought on by your body not being able to get the blood it needs to function. ECP Therapy will improve your circulatory system so your body can keep up.

ECP Therapy works in rhythm with your heart and promotes your body to heal itself using its natural mechanisms. It improves your cardiovascular system ability to move your blood, providing your body the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function. ECP therapy activates a backup network of blood vessels to improve circulation.

If you have heart disease with blockages, ECP therapy promotes the activation of micro vessels, also known as collaterals. These new vessels bypass blockages, providing blood to your heart. In many cases, this is enough to avoid invasive bypass surgery. In healthy patients, these new blood vessels only enhance your body’ endurance, and its ability to supply your body with what it needs to function.

Results from ECP Therapy generally last up to three years, and patients often report continued cardiovascular improvement after their treatments. ECP Therapy restores the ability to exercise or to exercise for longer and only helps lock in these benefits for patients. Many patients can make lifestyle changes they need to maintain their results and improve their overall heart health. Our staff is more than happy to help guide you with those lifestyle changes to ensure you maintain your results.

Many major insurances, Medicaid, and Medicare cover ECP Therapy for select patients who are battling heart disease. Check with your provider to see what coverage is available to you. Generally, ECP Therapy is not covered by insurance if you are healthy.
