Cincinatti, OH, February 10, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The Ohio Heart and Vascular Center announced today that as part of the national recognition of February as American Heart Month and the week of February 18th – 22nd as EECP® Therapy Week, the center will be holding a Red Balloon Release on Tuesday, February 19th at 1:00 PM as well as a luncheon at the Twin Dragon restaurant in West Chester for past EECP® patients. Dr. Charles Abbottsmith, Medical Director, will be in attendance and Doris Osborne, EECP® Coordinator will be the educator. The Ohio Heart and Vascular Center will join EECP® providers nationwide to commemorate the benefits of EECP® in the fight against heart disease by releasing, simultaneously, dozens of red balloons.
The International EECP® Therapists Association (IETA), the national organization of EECP® therapists and other healthcare professionals who provide EECP® therapy in hospitals, clinics and private practices have declared this, the last full week in February, the Second Annual EECP® Therapy Week. EECP® therapy centers around the country and some participating centers overseas will host events and conduct activities designed to increase the public’s awareness of EECP® therapy and the role it plays in cardiovascular disease management.
