EECP
Back
Enhanced External Counterpulsation EECPW (ECP) is a non-surgical therapy for angina, heart disease, high blood pressure, and other conditions involving poor circulation. EECP (ECP) is a mechanical procedure in which long inflatable cuffs (like blood pressure cuffs) are wrapped around both of the patient’s legs. EECP (ECP) has two potentially beneficial actions on the heart. EECP (ECP), effectively, “pumps” blood into the coronary arteries.) Second, by its deflating action just as the heart begins to beat, EECP (ECP) creates something like a sudden vacuum in the arteries. The EECP (ECP) pumping console then rapidly inflates and deflates the leg cuffs in time with the heartbeat.

Unlike procedures such as bypass surgery, balloon angioplasty, and stents, EECP (ECP) is entirely non-invasive (involves no surgery, drugs or needles), carries no risk, is comfortable, and is administered in an outpatient setting. In fact, EECP (ECP) can feel like a deep muscle massage to the legs and the patient is completely relaxed during the process.

EECP (ECP) is administered as an out-patient procedure, making it very convenient for the patient and the family. The EECP (ECP) pumping console then rapidly inflates and deflates the leg cuffs in time with the heartbeat.

Nearly everyone with coronary artery disease can benefit from EECP (ECP). EECP (ECP) is particularly well-suited to people who:

    Have already had angioplasty, stents or bypass surgery, and the heart disease symptoms have returned      or persisted
    Are not candidates for surgery due to other serious medical conditions
    Do not want to undergo surgery or angioplasty
    Rely heavily on medicines, or have to curtail their activities to avoid angina and other heart disease      symptoms
    EECP (ECP) treatment may be the only way to obtain relieve from crippling angina.
    ECP treatment is a non-invasive outpatient treatment that may relieve or eliminate Angina.
