Understanding ECP Therapy
EECP Therapy for Angina Treatment
An overview of how EECP therapy supports circulation and may help relieve symptoms of chronic angina through non-invasive treatment.
What Is EECP Therapy and How It Works
This page explains EECP therapy, how it works to improve circulation using external pressure cuffs, and its potential role in supporting heart health and related. symptoms.
Research & Clinical Studies
EECP focusing on its effect on kidney function, and utilization in patients with kidney diseases
Potentially increases renal perfusion and prevents kidney injury in several conditions. Possible beneficial effects on hemodynamics.
EECP improves peripheral artery function and tolerance in subjects with abnormal glucose tolerance
Evidence that EECP has a beneficial effect on peripheral arterial function and glucose tolerance in subjects with AGT.
EECP Improves Peripheral Artery Flow-Mediated Dilation in Patients With Chronic Angina
This study found that EECP therapy improved flow-mediated dilation in peripheral arteries in patients with chronic angina
EECP Therapy and Clinical Outcomes in Cardiovascular Disease
Evidence that EECP therapy may improve symptoms, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease.
Enhanced External Counterpulsation Therapy:
Past, Present, and Future
A review of the history, mechanisms, and clinical applications of EECP therapy, including its role in supporting circulation and cardiovascular health.
Effect of Enhanced External Counterpulsation on Patients with Angina and Erectile Dysfunction
Research examining the effects of EECP therapy on circulation and quality-of-life outcomes in men with severe cardiovascular disease.
Long-Term Effects of EECP Therapy on Clinical Symptoms
and Quality of Life
Research evaluating the effects of EECP therapy on symptoms, physical activity, and quality of life in patients with chronic cardiovascular conditions.
The Effect of EECP on Ischemic Heart Failure:
A Systematic Review
This review found that EECP therapy may improve quality of life and functional capacity in patients with stable ischemic heart failure.
Short-term ECP augments cerebral blood flow and tissue oxygenation
This study investigates the short-term effect of counterpulsation on cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics in patients with asymptomatic unilateral chronic severe ICA stenosis
Expert consensus on the clinical application of EECP in elderly people
Evidence has accumulated for the clinical application in the prevention and management of multiple comorbidities in the elderly population
Outcomes after EECP therapy in patients with refractory angina pectoris and LV dysfunction
Two-year clinical outcomes find ECP a viable treatment option for refractory angina in left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
