Enhanced External Counterpulsation Device

Introduction

EECP® Therapy is an outpatient treatment for angina and heart failure. Treatments are usually given for an hour each day, five days a week, for a total of 35 hours. During the treatment, you lie on a comfortable treatment table with large blood pressure-like cuffs wrapped around your legs and buttocks. These cuffs inflate and deflate at specific times between your heartbeats. A continuous electro cardiogram (ECG) is used to set the timing so the cuffs inflate while the heart is at rest, when it normally gets its supply of blood and oxygen. The cuffs deflate at the end of that rest period, just before the next heart beat. The special sensor applied to your finger checks the oxygen level in your blood and monitors the pressure waves created by the cuff inflations and deflations.

Principle

The basic principle of EECP treatment involves increasing the amount of blood returning to the heart, which helps supply more oxygen to its starved areas. With more oxygen available, the heart can function much more efficiently and therefore reduce chest pain.

While EECP is performed, you will be lying on a bed wearing a series of pressure cuffs around calved, lower thighs and upper thighs. The EECP system includes a pressure source that inflates and deflates these cuffs, the pressure moves the blood from your lower limbs toward the heart. Each wave of pressure is timed with your heartbeat via ECG signal. So that the increased blood flow is delivered to your heart at the precise moment when heart relaxing. When the heart pumps again, the pressure in cuffs is withdrawn immediately. This lowers resistance in your legs so that blood pumped more easily from the heart.

EECP can increase blood supply of coronary artery by increasing the diastolic pressure of aorta, rescue ischemic myocardium and improve the heart function.
