At Sterling Heart Care, we have two main treatment options for dyspnea brought on by heart failure. In many situations, we can provide both treatment options to our patients, as they can be done simultaneously. The two treatment options we provide at Sterling Heart Care are heart flow therapy, or external counter pulsation (ECP) therapy, and our cardiac rehabilitation program. Both treatment options are highly effective, non-invasive, and well recommended by medical experts. ECP or heart flow therapy uses blood pressure cuffs wrapped around your lower legs and upper thighs or buttocks. These cuffs inflate and deflate in a counter pattern to your regular cardiac cycle to force blood to flow back to the heart more effectively. This process stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and improves the blood flow of existing blood vessels, as your heart accommodates the extra blood flow. Each ECP therapy session is about one hour long. We recommend daily sessions for five to 12 weeks. With our cardiac rehabilitation programs, our health coaches and licensed counselors guide you through workshops, educational videos, and various programs based on the three pillars of a healthy heart of exercise, nutrition, and a healthy mindset. We encourage you to come to Sterling Heart Care if you suffer from dyspnea related to a heart condition!
