It is pathetic to hear the doctor deliver the grim news, “You have coronary heart disease and
you need coronary bypass surgery now.” Frightened into a near-myocardial

Doctors Ignore Proven Alternative to Coronary Stents and Bypass Surgery
By Dale Kiefer
A unique
opportunity to save countless lives and billions of dollars is being
overlooked by the medical community. This technique increases blood flow
to the heart, strengthens the circulation, and offers a proven way to
treat heart disease in lieu of stents or bypass surgery.
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a safe, non-invasive
procedure that can overcome heart disease in two ways—by passively
exercising the heart to strengthen the vascular system and by targeting
inflammation, the underlying culprit in damaged blood vessels that
inhibits blood flow.
More than 100 studies have demonstrated its overwhelming
effectiveness and unquestioned safety in improving blood flow in
patients with heart disease. Some experts are calling for the EECP
procedure to become first-line therapy for heart disease, long before
surgery or other invasive procedures are used. Approved by the FDA for
chronic stable angina, cardiogenic shock, congestive heart failure, as
well as during a heart attack, EECP not only saves lives but is also
considerably cheaper and safer than traditional invasive procedures such
as angioplasty and coronary stents, which continue to be the mainstay
of therapy. Medicare even pays for it!
By improving circulation, this simple procedure prevents arteries
from becoming blocked, allowing the heart to do its job more
effectively. As is often the case, health care in the United States is
often driven by lucrative revenues making many in the medical community
reluctant to embrace alternative therapies.
Life Extension first enlightened members to the benefits of EECP
therapy in May 2003, yet most Foundation members still don’t realize
this life-saving technology is available. In this article, we’ll review
why your cardiologist can no longer afford to ignore the benefits of
this inexpensive, life-saving procedure.

For patients with some forms of heart disease, enhanced external
counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive, high-tech, low-risk
procedure, performed on an outpatient basis, which offers a remarkable
reprieve from some of the potentially disabling symptoms of stable
angina and coronary heart disease. Patients lucky enough to be offered
this underused therapy may experience changes in their conditions that
range from significant pain relief to renewed mobility and energy, to a
rekindled libido. They may also literally gain a new lease on life,
simultaneously avoiding the dangers of coronary bypass surgery while
buying enough time to reverse the heart disease that brought them to
this crossroads in the first place. But chances are, unless you inquire
about it, you’ll never even be told this option exists.
Imagine this scenario. You’ve developed troubling symptoms
recently—shortness of breath, difficulty climbing stairs without resting
frequently, and maybe even some pressure or pain in your chest. If
you’re a man, you may have noticed a decrease in libido, or an
occasional inability to sustain erection during sex. You may even break
out into a sweat inexplicably from time to time.
You see a physician, and after listening to your heart and lungs he
may send you to see a cardiologist, who takes your history, listens to
your heart again, and sends you for a battery of tests. You may be given
an electrocardiogram and a chest X-ray, have some blood work drawn, and
be sent for further testing, such as a stress test or an echocardiogram
(EKG). Eventually, the doctor delivers the grim news, “You have
coronary heart disease and you need coronary bypass surgery now.”
Frightened into a near-myocardial infarction right then and there,
you’re ready to agree to anything.
Jantung Koroner Tidak Selalu Harus Pasang Ring atau
Operasi.bypass . Sehubungan dgn
banyaknya kasus penyempitan pembuluh darah terutama di jantung yg pada
awalnya dirasakan sebagai sesak napas atau napas terengah–engah atau
cepat lelah (misalnya naik tangga), bersama ini di informasikan bahwa
penanganan penyempitan pembuluh darah tsb TIDAK SELALU hrs dilakukan
dgn pemasangan ring (Stent) atau bahkan operasi by pass. Saat ini
penanganan pembuluh darah di jantung yg menyempit dpt dilakukan dgn cara
di infus. Cairan infus yg di import tsb mampu mengikis (membersihkan)
plaque (gumpalan2 yg umumnya berupa calsium) pada bagian dlm pembuluh
darah yg menghambat aliran darah. Tergantung dari parah atau tidaknya
penyempitan tsb, Dr. Yahya Kisyanto, yg alamat prakteknya di daerah
Cikini, menggunakan dua macam cairan infus. Pengobatan penyempitan
pembuluh darah dgn cara di infus ini biayanya sangat terjangkau oleh
masyarakat umum dan sudah banyak pasien yg berhasil ditangani.
1. Dr. Yahya Kisyanto merupakan dokter yg sangat senior di bidang
Cardiologist & Internist - sangat sosial dan sangat membantu pasien,
bahkan pasien yg datang pd hari Minggu pun dilayani.
2. Biaya yg dibebankan juga sangat sosial. Ada 2 - macam cairan infus yg
digunakan harganya sekitar Rp 600 ribu dan Rp 1,3 juta – per infus -
tergantung parahnya penyempitan. Harga ini jauh lebih sosial dibanding
dgn klinik Cardiologi lainnya.
3. Jam praktek Dr. Yahya Kisyanto, dari jam 08 pagi sampai jam 14 siang
dan sore jam 18 sampai jam 22 atau dgn perjanjian. Nomor telepon
(021) 319 –25353.

Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery wall thickens as a result of invasion and accumulation of white blood cells
(termed "fatty streaks" early on because of appearance being similar to
that of marbled steak) and containing both living active WBCs (called
inflammation) and remnants of dead cells, including cholesterol and triglycerides,
eventually calcium and other crystallized materials, within the
outer-most and oldest plaque. These changes reduce the elasticity of the
artery walls but do not affect blood flow for decades because the
artery muscular wall enlarges at the locations of plaque. However, the
wall stiffening may eventually increase pulse pressure; widened pulse
pressure is one possible result of advanced disease within the major
arteries. It is a syndrome affecting arterial blood vessels, a chronic inflammatory response, i.e. white blood cells, in the walls of arteries, largely involving the accumulation of macrophages and white blood cells and promoted by low-density lipoproteins (LDL, plasma proteins that carry cholesterol and triglycerides) without adequate removal of fats and cholesterol from the macrophages by functional high-density lipoproteins (HDL) (see apoA-1 Milano). It is commonly referred to as a "hardening" or furring of the arteries. It is caused by the formation of multiple atheromatous plaques within the arteries
