Enhanced External Counter Pulsation
Stronger heart, longer lives
What is EECP?
Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is commonly known as the 'natural bypass therapy'. It is performed as a non-invasive treatment to lower the number and intensity of angina (chest pain) episodes.
EECP increases the amount of blood returning to the heart, which helps supply more oxygen to its starved areas. With more oxygen available, the heart can function much more efficiently and therefore reduce chest pain.
How is EECP done?
EECP is administered through three pairs of inflatable cuffs that are applied around the lower legs, upper legs, and buttocks.
These cuffs continuously inflate and deflate between the resting period of the heartbeat to increase blood circulation.
Effects of EECP
EECP encourages blood vessels to open small channels that become extra branches.
These channels or collaterals may eventually become 'natural bypass' vessels to provide blood flow to the heart muscle. This contributes to the relief of angina symptoms.
Patients who received several sessions of EECP have also reported positive results:
- Decrease in chest pain
- Improved ECG response
- Decrease in medication use
- Increase in energy and libido
- Increased exercise duration
- Improved quality of life
- Anti-aging
- Increased oxygen supply for the heart
- Long term effects (3-5 years)
"One hour of EECP treatment is equivalent to walking 10km for the heart."
