EECP Brain Health in Encinitas CA
Improve cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and overall mental clarity
EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) is a non-invasive medical procedure that has shown promising benefits for brain health. While the primary application of EECP is for improving symptoms of heart disease, studies have revealed additional advantages for brain function.
One of the key benefits of EECP is its ability to enhance blood flow throughout the body, including the brain. By increasing blood circulation and oxygen supply to the brain, EECP promotes optimal brain function, improving cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and overall mental clarity.
Furthermore, EECP has demonstrated potential in reducing the risk factors associated with neurological conditions, including stroke and dementia. By improving blood vessel function and reducing inflammation, EECP may help mitigate the progression of these conditions and enhance brain resilience.
Additionally, EECP has been linked to improvements in mood and emotional well-being. By promoting blood flow and oxygenation, it can potentially alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, leading to an enhanced overall sense of mental wellness.
While further research is necessary to fully understand the extent of EECP’s benefits for brain health, preliminary findings suggest its potential as a non-invasive, adjunctive therapy for optimizing cognitive function and promoting brain vitality.
Alzheimer's EECP study & benefits
External counterpulsation therapy, originally created to treat angina and heart failure, was shown by KU Medical Center researchers to improve cognitive function.
“We showed that blood flow to the brain did increase with this treatment, and when blood flow increased, their cognition improved,” said Patrick M. Moriarty, M.D., professor of medicine at KU Medical Center and principal investigator on the study. “You’re increasing nutrition to tissues that need it.”
External counterpulsation devices provide much of the benefits of aerobic exercise, including the formation of new blood vessels, without the person moving a muscle. For decades, these devices have improved the cardiovascular health of heart patients as well as elite athletes such as Shaquille O’Neal, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, who have used them to increase their endurance, Moriarty said.
The participants who received the “real” external counterpulsation treatment group scored an average of 4.5 points better on a cognitive test known as VADAS-cog (Vascular Dementia Assessment Scale cognitive subscale) at the end of the study than those who received the sham treatment — twice as much as the 2-point difference the FDA had wanted them to demonstrate when they approved the trial. The greatest benefit was observed in participants with type 2 diabetes: those participants who received the real treatment experienced an average improvement of 14.6 points on the cognitive test over those with diabetes in the sham group.
Cardiology principles we support & practice
Identify and Treat the Root Causes:
While symptom suppression has its place, we believe all patients benefit from identifying the underlying causes of illness and removing obstacles to cure.
Diagnostic Accuracy:
We use various cardiology diagnostic tools, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiography, calcium, and stress tests to accurately understand your heart conditions.
Heart Health Education:
Educating patients about heart-healthy lifestyles, diet, and exercise is a crucial aspect of cardiology and overall health.
Treat the Whole Person:
We recognize the interconnectedness of our body, environment, and lifestyle in total health. By adopting a whole-person approach, they seek to restore balance and well-being.
Patient-Centered Care:
Unlike disease-focused treatment, we emphasizes patient-centered care. We takes into account not only the disease but also the person as a whole. Understanding the patient’s lifestyle, environment, medical history, and preferences is crucial for effective treatment.
Multidisciplinary Approach:
We work in collaboration with other specialists, such as cardiologists, primary care physicians, and dieticians to ensure your overall health is addressed. A team-based approach ensures comprehensive patient care and the best outcome possible.
Individualized Treatment:
We tailor treatment plans to each patient’s unique needs. This may involve coaching on diet modifications, lifestyle changes, or procedures like EECP.
Supporting Natural Healing Mechanisms:
We supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Instead of directly attacking the disease, we aims to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. This approach considers nutrition, lifestyle, stress management, and other factors that influence health.
Health as Vitality:
Health is not merely the absence of disease; it is a state of immense vitality. We focuses on optimizing overall well-being, allowing the body to heal and prevent age-related diseases.
Prevention:
We prioritize the use of natural, least invasive, and least toxic therapies. When a patient’s condition falls outside our expertise, we refer to other healthcare providers who can best address teh underlying root cause and conditions.
Improve your health by reversing heart disease, heart failure, and prevent future heart attack, proactively & naturally
Extensive research and clinical studies have revealed the heart’s remarkable ability to form new pathways, known as collaterals, that increases blood circulation. Strengthening the heart’s pumping capacity, these additional pathways improve oxygen supply with each heartbeat. This increased efficiency lessens the heart’s workload, reducing the chance of a heart attack, reversing heart disease and eradicating heart failure. Tailored for each patient, we work hand-in-hand with you as the primary care physician to achieve better, more sustained results for your patient’s heart health.
