EECP

Get to Know the Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) Machine

EECP is a medical device used to stimulate blood circulation, primarily for patients suffering from ischemic heart disease or coronary artery disease. It is especially suitable for those who cannot undergo heart surgery or angioplasty (balloon procedure).

How the EECP Machine Works

EECP treatment involves the use of inflatable cuffs placed around the patients legs and hips. These cuffs inflate and deflate in sync with the hearts rhythm, specifically during the hearts relaxation phase (diastole), which helps push blood from the lower body back to the heart, thereby improving oxygen supply to the heart and muscles.

  • Treatment frequency: 45 sessions per week
  • Duration per session: 12 hours
  • Benefits are typically seen with regular sessions, though results may vary by individual.

Who Should NOT Use EECP

Some conditions contraindicate the use of EECP as it may worsen symptoms or lead to complications:


  • Severe heart failure Increased blood flow can overburden a weakened heart


  • Bleeding disorders Such as bleeding ulcers or external bleeding, as the pressure may exacerbate bleeding


  • Recent surgeries or open wounds Risk of interfering with healing or causing trauma


  • Pregnant women The pressure and blood flow changes may endanger both mother and fetus

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) EECP

How safe is EECP treatment?
EECP is certified, safe, and effective for treating coronary artery disease. It is less invasive and has fewer side effects compared to traditional surgery.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
No downtime is needed. EECP is a non-invasive treatment without incisions or anesthesia, so patients can resume daily activities immediately.
How long does the full treatment course take?
Treatment is typically done 45 days a week for about 78 weeks. Each session lasts approximately 1 hour.
Who is suitable for EECP treatment?
Patients with coronary artery disease experiencing chest pain who have not responded well to medication or cannot undergo surgical procedures such as bypass surgery or angioplasty may benefit from EECP.

Benefits of EECP

1.Reduces chest pain (angina) by increasing oxygen supply to the heart

2.Improves exercise tolerance, allowing patients to resume daily activities more easily

3.May reduce or eliminate the need for medication in some patients

4.Non-invasive with lower risk of complications, such as infection or blood clots

5.Enhances quality of life patients can return to daily routines with more comfort

6.A viable alternative for patients unfit for surgery or angioplasty
