EECP is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment for heart-related disorders such as Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Failure. Its unique mechanism targets the “small vessels” of the heart, which are too tiny for bypass surgery or angioplasty. By working on different circulatory areas, EECP can be effective even when other procedures fail. Patients typically undergo EECP for one hour a day, five days a week, for a total of 35 hours over seven weeks. This therapy develops and enlarges collateral blood vessels (Nature’s own bypass), creating new pathways around blocked coronary arteries and increasing blood supply to the heart muscles.
Patients relax comfortably on a padded bed with pneumatic cuffs wrapped around their calves and thighs
Cuffs inflate sequentially during diastole (heart at rest): calves, then thighs, then upper thighs, and all pressure is released at the onset of systole
The EECP device's control panel allows for cuff adjustments, inflation/deflation timing, and provides ECG and pulse monitoring
