EECP ® /ECP therapy is typically provided in 35, one-hour treatment sessions over a period of approximately seven weeks. Additional hours may safely and effectively be prescribed to this regimen if physician evaluation of the patients response to treatment determines additional hours will result in greater relief of symptoms. In certain circumstances, adjusting the patients treatment regimen to two hours per day can make it more comfortable for the patient to complete a course of EECP ® Therapy. EECP ® therapy involves compression and decompression of the lower extremities during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. Cuffs inflate sequentially at the onset of diastole from the calves, to the thighs, to the buttocks, increasing venous return and coronary perfusion. Cuffs deflate simultaneously prior to the onset of systole, decreasing vascular resistance, allowing for improved systolic unloading with a decrease in cardiac workload.
