Meet Author, Entrepreneur, Speaker LeAnn Wheeler
BIOGRAPHY
LeAnn Wheeler is Co-founder and CEO of Thrive Counter Pulsation, an EECP clinic dedicated to helping cardiovascular patients recover their health. After multiple heart attacks and failed bypass surgery, she was told "nothing more can be done." EECP was life-changing: strengthening her heart and stimulating the growth of new collateral arteries, an outcome documented by angiograms. This transformation launched her journey from "no-options" patient to passionate advocate of this safe, noninvasive therapy.
Drawing on her research background with the Carnegie Institution and advanced degrees from George Washington University and Rutgers Law School, LeAnn decodes complex medical data to bring this proven, FDA-approved therapy to cardiac patients who desperately need it. Her mission: ensuring others can reclaim the active lives they thought were lost forever.
LeAnn and her husband Fran have five children and eighteen grandchildren, with whom they now enjoy hiking, traveling, or simply spending time together—the priceless gift of time from EECP
MY BOOK
"There's nothing else we can do".
For years, I had cycled through emergency rooms, heart attacks, stents, and even bypass
surgery. I was frustrated at times, discouraged at others, but I always believed my cardiologist
had another option to try: another procedure, another medication, another plan. We even
identified the likely culprit for my coronary artery disease: elevated Lp(a), an inherited particle that carries cholesterol through the blood. It explained why standard treatments only bought me a little time.
For a moment, knowing about this unexpected risk factor felt like power. But understanding what caused my condition couldn't give us more tools. It simply explained why the tools we had weren't working.
Then my bypass failed. The surgery my cardiovascular surgeon had fought for permission to perform during the early chaotic days of the pandemic had lasted less than nineteen months.
That was when I heard those six words.
