Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) treatment is an FDA-approved outpatient therapy for chronic stable angina. It uses pressure on the lower limbs to improve blood flow in people with long-term symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain and pressure.
What is EECP therapy?
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) therapy is chest pain therapy approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It assists with long-term chest pain or pressure (chronic stable angina) that doesn’t respond to other therapies.
EECP therapy may also be recommended for some people who need a procedure to restore blood flow to their heart and aren’t eligible for surgery. EECP therapy uses pressure to improve your blood flow. It’s a noninvasive, outpatient therapy. You typically receive the therapy over seven weeks.
This type of therapy can reduce your need for medication and increase your ability to be active without experiencing symptoms.
