In addition to External Counterpulsation (ECP and EECP) Therapy, ExternalCounterpulsation.com is pleased to offer complimentary tools to better assess & improve vascular health.
We have partnerships with several companies that provide useful diagnostic tools in the assessment & management of Arterial Health. These devices measure Endothelial Function, Arterial Stiffness (Atherosclerotic Burden), Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI), Segmental Limb Studies and risk assessment analysis.
Endothelial FunctionEndothelial Function testing is a vital tools for clinicians to assess the progression and management of atherosclerosis. This tools is helpful as atherosclerosis is proven to lead to the development of Coronary Artery Disease.
