EECP THERAPY
What Is EECP Therapy?
Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive, non-drug outpatient treatment designed to improve blood flow to the heart.
During treatment, inflatable cuffs are comfortably wrapped around the calves, thighs, and lower body. The cuffs inflate and deflate in rhythm with your heartbeat, helping increase blood flow back toward the heart and improve circulation.
The result is improved circulation in the coronary arteries and an increase in the amount of blood pumping by the heart to all the organs and tissues of the body.

EECP is most established for selected patients with chronic angina who continue to have symptoms despite medications, stents, or bypass surgery, or who may not be candidates for additional revascularization.
There are no needles, incisions, anesthesia, or hospital stay.
Could EECP Be Right for You?
If you continue to have chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or limitations despite treatment for coronary artery disease, we can help determine whether EECP may be appropriate for you.
