A member asked:
How are eecp & heart bypass surgery different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both for angina: They're both for angina. Bypass is a major open chest surgery. Eecp is non-invasive. Bypass provides lasting benefit and, in carefully selected patients, improves life expectancy. Neither is true for eecp.
