How is EECP treatment performed ?

    During treatment, patients lie on a padded table in which sets of electronically-controlled inflation and deflation valves are located. These valves are connected to specially designed adjustable cuffs that are wrapped firmly, but comfortably, around the patient's cavles, lower thighs and upper thighs, including the buttocks. While the heart is in its resting phase, the cuffs are inflated sequentialy and rapidly from the calves toward the buttocks. The cuffs are then deflated instantaneously just before the heart beats. This causes the heart umscle to receive an increased blood supply while reducing the heart's work load.
