EECP Treatment: An Advanced Treatment for Heart Blockages
With the vast amount of knowledge we have, we are well aware of the factors that lead to heart problems. The biggest culprit is smoking, which causes harmful carcinogens to enter our blood, and can significantly damage the lining of the heart. This makes it more difficult for blood to flow through, meaning that oxygen does not get delivered throughout our bodies as efficiently as it should. Other than smoking, a sedentary lifestyle accompanied by stress is also a major cause of heart problems.
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with heart disease, you may be recommended a bypass surgery or angioplasty. But what if we told that there is an alternative cardiac treatment, Enhanced External Counter Pulsation
What is an EECP Treatment?
It is a type of cardiac treatment that uses low-voltage electrical shocks to improve blood flow and oxygenation to the heart. This treatment can be used for people with various types of heart conditions, including congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and angina.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with heart disease, talk to your doctor about EECP treatment and whether it may be right for you.
Benefits of EECP treatment
EECP therapy has been proven to be effective in treating various types of heart conditions. In addition, this treatment has also improved the quality of life for patients with heart disease.

Who can undergo this treatment?
It’s important to understand that cardiac treatment includes lifestyle changes too. Our experts educates and counsels patients to help them make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of cardiac problems in the future. Individuals who are eligible for EECP therapy are:
● Patients with chronic angina
● Patients had coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) or stents put in the coronary arteries
● Despite having no prior bypass or stenting, continue to suffer from angina
What is the procedure for EECP?
This treatment is typically done in a hospital or outpatient clinic setting. The patient lies on a padded table and electrodes are placed on the chest. These electrodes deliver electrical impulses that cause the heart muscles to contract and relax. The goal of EECP treatment is to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatment can help improve symptoms and make it easier to manage the condition.
EECP treatments are typically performed on daily basis but some patients might be recommended for two sessions in a day. The routine for the procedure depends upon the condition and severity of the patient.
