Enhanced External Counter Pulsation.
EECP is prescribed for people who have had a heart attack; angioplasty with stent; CABG; valve repair or replacement; stable angina; heart transplant; or a heart and lung transplant. The exercise program meets five times a week for a total of 7 weeks. Besides the exercise prescribed, education on coronary artery disease, cholesterol, and diet changes are discussed. Other topics include stress reduction, smoking cessation and weight reduction on an individual basis.
EECP is a noninvasive treatment for patients with coronary heart disease. Known as the natural bypass, EECP stimulates the growth of small branches of blood vessels (collaterals) to create a bypass around narrowed or blocked arteries.
