ECP Therapy in Cheektowaga, NY

The two options are very different, but one isn’t necessarily better than the other. Some patients might make excellent candidates for getting stents or surgery, while other patients don’t, sometimes because of their age or health. Other patients just don’t want to consider invasive surgery, while others still simply want an alternative. ECP Therapy can be an excellent alternative for a variety of reasons.

For example, ECP Therapy is a form of therapy. It’s about helping your body help itself so it can pump blood more effectively. This is a more natural way of treating a heart condition, and many patients appreciate that.

The procedure is non-invasive, so medication, needles, and incisions are not involved at all. The treatment is administered outside of your body and is painless. ECP Therapy takes about 1 hour, and a single treatment can offer benefits lasting for up to 3 years. After that, simply get another treatment.

ECP Therapy can help alleviate many of the symptoms of heart disease and other heart conditions. For example, we can treat angina, dyspnea, and fatigue here at Sterling Heart Care.

Also, the therapy can temporarily enhance your heart’s ability to circulate oxygenated blood to the rest of your body. The therapy does this by helping to clear blocked coronary arteries, and by reactivating inactive blood vessels. By clearing blockages and creating new routes of circulation, blood flow increases, not just in the heart but throughout the whole body.

As a result, many of your symptoms can be alleviated, especially chest pain. Some patients can even get approval from their doctor to decrease the dosage of their medications. Many patients report that they feel better and experience a greater quality of life after treatment. They’re able to exercise again and get back into activities they had been missing!

Our Medical Director, Dr. Leon Levinsky, has extensive experience in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and clinical research. He has served as Deputy Head and Medical Director of hospital medical departments. He has also served as Chief of Surgery and Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at medical centers. Today, he is the Medical Director at Sterling Heart Care.

He believes noninvasive treatments like ECP Therapy and Cardiac Rehabilitation have great promise for many patients and has no doubt that these patients would be “eternally grateful” to their doctors for referring them to Sterling Heart Care.
