A member asked:
What's more effective external counter pulsation or working out cardio wise for building more capillaries to create your own bypass ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
EECP: If you can exercise enough to build more capillaries, you are not a candidate for EECP. EECP for angina is used only when diet, exercise, maximal medical therapy, interventional or CABG treatment have all failed to yield adequate symptom relief.
