Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP)
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) may be considered when stable angina persists despite drug therapy, or when revascularization is not suitable due to anatomical and risk factors.

How Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is performed
Enhanced external counterpulsation uses leg and buttock cuffs synchronized with electrocardiogram (ECG), inflating sequentially during diastole to enhance coronary perfusion, and rapidly deflating during systole to reduce afterload. Blood pressure and heart rhythm are monitored during treatment, and pressure and timing are adjusted according to tolerance. The overall goal is to improve blood supply and relieve symptoms. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
