There is no formal test to evaluate improvement. "The patient will know when EECP has done what it says it will do."
Hubby is using the treadmill as his measure of circulation improvement. Prior to EECP and during his cardiac rehab sessions, any elevation gain while on the treadmill brought on the symptoms of angina. He has been adding elevation to his workouts this week and has NO ANGINA symptoms. This is awesome news and means we can finally head home on May 9th.
We meet with the cardiologist next Friday. That appointment and these last therapy sessions will make 70 medical related appointments, sessions and procedures this winter. It will all be worth it if he can mow the lawn without experiencing angina this summer.
That is wonderful news. I’m so glad he is finally seeing improvement!
