Advise Heart Treatment
My uncle was feeling shoulder pain and chest uncomfortableness. He undergone for medical checkup at Irudhayam Hospital in Nagercoil, TN. The doctor had advised to take ECG and Echo test. After test result came, doctor said there are 3 blocks and advised to take S.E.C.P treatment (sequential external counterpulsation), a 12 days continues treatment. We were not sure about the positives, negatives and mode of the treatment. We were not able to take decisions so we left the hospital. Kindly advise me about the treatment and how it differs from other heart treatments. Thanks in advance.

At present EECP treatment is not advised for heart block as first line therapy.
Please go for time tested therapy like medical treatment along with angiogram or bypass surgery.
EECP is only for no option patient who r symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy.

I will study and revert back.
