Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps improve blood flow to the heart and relieve symptoms of angina and heart failure.

EECP therapy uses inflatable cuffs wrapped around the legs to compress and decompress the blood vessels, promoting increased blood flow to the heart during the relaxation phase of the heartbeat.

Patients with chronic stable angina, heart failure, or those who are not suitable candidates for invasive procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may benefit from EECP therapy.

EECP therapy can help reduce angina symptoms, improve exercise tolerance, enhance the quality of life, and decrease the need for medication in some patients.

Each EECP session typically lasts about one hour and is usually conducted five days a week for a total of seven weeks.

It is recommended after mastectomy or lumpectomy to restore the breast’s appearance and improve self-esteem and body image.

Benefits include smaller incisions, less pain, reduced scarring, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times.
