EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) Therapy 101: What You Need to Know 2025

Image
What is EECP Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive treatment to lower the number and intensity of angina episodes. It is an alternative solution for patients suffering from angina, who have exhausted all their other medical treatments and therapy choices. Treatment is administered through three pairs of external inflatable cuffs that are applied around the lower legs, upper legs and buttocks. A mechanism of squeeze-and-release is then synced with the heartbeat to increase blood flow to the heart and the rest of the body. Through this process, EECP generates new pathways surrounding the blocked arteries and expand the network of the small blood vessels to promote and increase blood flow towards the heart muscle. It can also be referred to as a natural bypass. In 2014, various renowned medical organisations, including the  American Heart Association , Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, and the  American College of Cardiology , approve...
