The term "Enhanced External Counterpulsation" describes what will happen during treatment. "Enhanced" refers to the equipment that has evolved over decades of research and development to become the state-of-the-art delivery system now used in EECP? centers. "External" means treatment is applied outside your body and does not require surgery. "CounterPulsation" The EECP? system compresses your lower limbs to increase blood flow toward your heart. Each wave of pressure is electronically timed to your heartbeat, so that the increased blood flow is delivered to your heart at the precise moment it is relaxing. When the heart pumps again, pressure is released instantaneously. This lowers resistance in the blood vessels of your legs so that blood may be pumped more easily from the heart, decreasing the amount of work required of your heart muscle. During counterpulsation the EECP? system pumps when your heart is resting and releases pressure when your heart is working.
