EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation)
is a non-invasive heart therapy that improves blood flow to the heart and body—without surgery.

🔍 Simple Explanation

EECP - uses air cuffs wrapped around your
legs (calves, thighs, buttocks).

These cuffs:
1. Inflate during heart relaxation (diastole)
→ Push blood back up toward the heart
2. Deflate just before the heart pumps (systole)
→ Reduce resistance so the heart can pump easier

👉 It works in sync with your EKG—this timing is everything (which you’ve been working on 👀).

⚙️ How It Helps the Body

• 🫀 Increases blood flow to coronary arteries
• 🌱 Helps grow new small blood vessels
(collateral circulation)
• 💪 Reduces heart workload
• 🚶 Improves oxygen delivery to tissues

👨‍⚕️ Who It’s Used For

• Chronic stable angina (chest pain)
• Coronary artery disease
• Patients who cannot have surgery or stents
• Heart failure (in some cases)
• Sometimes used for:
• Stroke recovery
• Peripheral artery disease
• Erectile dysfunction (circulation-related)

⏱️ Treatment Plan
• Usually 1 hour per session
• 5 days a week
• 7 weeks total (≈35 sessions)
