Patients for ECP and EECP Therapy

External Counterpulsation Therapy (or commonly referred to as EECP or ECP Therapy) has proven to be an effective, non-invasive (non-surgical) treatment option for patients with a variety of medical conditions. In the U.S.,

Potential EECP and ECP Patients are those with documented Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) that are comfortable at rest, but with varying degree of physical activity the patients can experience symptoms of:

– Chest Pain
– Shortness of Breath
– Dizziness
– Chronic Fatigue

External Counterpulsation Therapy is proven to deliver the aerobic exercise and peripheral benefits of intense exercise. If your physician is emphasizing the importance of exercise,  then ECP Therapy may be a good option for you. A strong heart will consistently deliver oxygenated blood to each of the vital organs in your body including your brain, kidneys, liver, lungs, eyes and all of your extremities (hands, feet, brain). ECP & EECP Therapy is a low risk, low stress treatment that provides all of the benefits and bi-products of exercise without any risk or effort!
