EECP Therapy

     
 

     EECP Therapy is a noninvasive treatment for patients with angina, chronic chest pain and heart failure. EECP treatment is done in our office in 35 one-hour sessions over a period of approximately seven weeks. Additional hours may be safely and effectively added if physician evaluation of the patient's response to treatment determines additional hours will result in greater relief of your symptoms.

     EECP Therapy is done while you lie on a hospital bed or massage table. Compressive cuffs, like large blood pressure cuffs, are securely wrapped around your calves, thighs, and buttocks. These cuffs inflate in order, from the bottom (ankle) to the top (buttocks) in conjunction with the resting phase of your heart beat. It causes better flow through the arteries in your heart which should decrease the strain put on your heart muscle when it tries to pump blood to your body.
