What EECP treatments did for me is just amazing to say the least. First I had a quadruple bypass March 31, 1999. This made life much better for me, so that I could get around better and do many things again. I was always very active before and had to give up many of my activities before the bypass. Then about 3 years after, I started to slow down again, everything was getting difficult to do again. It got that I was losing my breath more and more. I found it so difficult to walk that I ended up using a walker even to get around in my apartment. Dr. Hill was monitoring me on a regular bases, and one day he suggested that I might be a good candidate for the EECP treatments. I was willing to try, as it seemed I was going down hill fast. By this time I had reached  the point where I needed help for everything. Having too much to live for, I was ready to try anything to get back to a normal life.
A friend Elgin volunteered to drive me every day for all 35 treatments. He also drove me to all my other appointments. At first I found it difficult to even get to the car, so he drove to the door and helped me. Mind you I did get discouraged the first couple of weeks because there wasn’t an immediate change. Then by the fourth week I was walking alone and my breathing was so much better. After the last treatment things really began to change for me. All my friends and family are amazed at how I have gotten better. Now two years later I’m still going strong and actually feel younger every day instead of old. I’m looking forward to many more active years to come. Everyone I meet has to listen to me tell my story, I am so happy to live such a good life.

Thanks to Dr. Hill and EECP!

My observations re: Anna and her experience with EECP.
Anna needed medical help and believed that the treatments offered by Dr. Hill would be of real benefit to her and she had faith in Dr. Hill. However, she was somewhat concerned about getting to and from the treatments, so it was agreed that I would drive her there and wait for her for the full 35 treatments. This seemed a big relief to her and made her positive that this was what she needed. The treatments were tiring for her and no miraculous cure was evident but after they were finished it was a positive step in the right direction. You could see how she went ahead and resumed her normal activities with her family and friends, which is her life. I am sure she has no doubt of the benefit received and I also must say it was apparently a real move in the right direction. I rejoice in the quality of life she now has to what it could have been. There were those that wanted Anna to go in a nursing home and no treatment such as she had, but this was not for her she believes in enjoying life as long as possible
