Testimony for EECP
Five years ago, after going through months of angina, and facing yet another cardiac catheterization, my family doctor and cardiologist agreed there was an alternative, noninvasive procedure available. Having been informed that additional heart surgery, of any kind, was not in my best interest, this option sounded good to me. The procedure, labeled EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) was, and still is offered at Apple Hill Medical Center. The process takes one hour per day, five days per week for seven weeks. I finished this procedure and followed it with 12 weeks in Cardiac Rehabilitation, again at Apple Hill. After just a few days of EECP, the angina was gone and has not returned.

None of us really knows just what the future holds. I know that I have been given at least five years of quality life, and hopefully many more. I thank God for what I have been given, but I must also thank the dedicated doctors of Cardiac Diagnostic Associates and the amazing group of nurses in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center of Apple Hill who nurtured me through my sickness.
Thanks and may God bless the entire medical profession.
