Here are several diagnostic tools that can be useful in tracking improvment from ECP Therapy. For more information, you can email us at info@ExternalCounterpulsation.com

Nuclear ImagingNuclear Perfusion (blood flow) testing is a useful non invasive tools to illustrate patient perfusion in the heart at rest and under duress. |

|
EchocardiographyEcho & Vascular Studies illustrate mechanical function and areas that may have blockages or reduction in adequate blood flow. |

Impedance CardiographyICG reports 12 different parameters related to flow, resistance, contractility, and fluid content. This is useful to measure daily to track improvement during the course of ECP therapy. |

Central Aortic PressureCentral Aortic Pressure is a great indicator of the overall state of heart health. This is a quick diagnostic tool used to track improvement during ECP Therapy. |

Peripherial Vascular StudiesABI / TBI with Doppler to document improvements in perfusion (blood flow) to the extremities. |

Endothelial Functional TestingEndothelial Function is proven to be a cornerstone to overall vascular health. Endothelial Dysfunction is proven to lead to atherosclerosis, Coronary Artery Disease, and other circulatory disorders. |

Arterial Stiffness StudyArterial Stiffness is a simple, non-invasive tool that measures the vessels ability to expand and contract to meet demand of blood flow. Arterial Stiffness is proven to be an important indicator of vascular disease. |
