EECP – Enhanced External Counter Pulsation Therapy at Bliss Clinic
EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) therapy is a non-invasive, US FDA-approved treatment designed to alleviate symptoms of angina, improve blood flow to the heart, and help patients with chronic stable angina, low heart pumping (EF%), or coronary artery disease who are not suitable candidates for surgery. Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) therapy is a non-invasive mechanical treatment designed to alleviate the symptoms of angina, commonly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). By utilizing inflatable cuffs placed on the lower limbs, EECP facilitates improved blood flow, offering a potential solution for individuals who are not suitable candidates for surgery due to underlying health issues.
How EECP Therapy Works
EECP therapy uses inflatable cuffs placed on the lower limbs, synchronized with the heartbeat. These cuffs inflate during diastole (heart relaxation) and deflate during systole (heart contraction), effectively “milking” blood toward the heart. This mechanism:
Enhances coronary blood flow
Stimulates collateral vessel formation (natural bypasses)
Reduces vascular resistance
Improves peripheral arterial function
Acts as passive exercise for cardiovascular health
Controlled by a computer linked to an ECG, the therapy is non-invasive, safe, and well-tolerated.
Duration of Treatment
EECP is administered as 35 outpatient sessions: five one-hour sessions per week for seven weeks. Most patients notice improvement by the 5th–6th week, and benefits may last up to five years. Some patients may require repeat treatment.
