About The Treatment

 

EECP Mobile Therapy offers hope to patients who fail to respond to conventional angina/heart failure treatment. It is called EECP, which stands for Enhanced External Counter Pulsation.

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. 

The procedure is performed at EECP Mobile Therapy and consists of 35, one-hour treatments, five days a week for seven weeks. A nurse remains by your side throughout the duration of the procedure, educating you about your condition which empowers you to live a healthy lifestyle. 

Three specially designed blood pressure cuffs are strategically placed on your body to deliver pressure in a rapid sequence from your calves to your buttocks. An ECG (formerly referred to as EKG) triggers the timing of the inflation and deflation of these cuffs, which deflate just before your heart beats. By working with the heart’s normal rhythm, EECP encourages the body to heal itself.
