WHAT IS EECP?

 

Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is performed as

a non-invasive treatment to lower

the number and intensity of angina

 episodes. Treatment is

administered through three pairs

of external inflatable cuffs that are

applied around the lower legs,

upper legs and buttocks. These

cuffs continuously inflate and

deflate between the resting period

 of the heartbeat and increase

blood returned to the heart.

 

The basic principle of EECP

treatment involves increasing the

amount of blood returning to the

heart, which helps supply more

oxygen to its starved areas. With

more oxygen available, the heart

can function much more efficiently

and therefore reduce chest pain.
