Overview
Enhanced external counterpulsation(EECP) is a non-invasive,
atraumatic procedure that can reduce the symptoms of angina pectoris, presumably
by increasing coronary bloodflow in ischemic areas of the heart. The beneficial
effects of EECP on perfusion of the ischemic myocardium in patients with
coronary artery disease appear to be sustained between treatments, and
may persist long after completion of a course of therapy.
