About ECP (External Counter Pulsation)

External Counter Pulsation (ECP) is administered using a technology that inflates (with air) and deflates three pairs of cuffs (similar to large blood pressure cuffs). The cuffs are wrapped around the legs and buttocks and are timed with your heartbeat. The cuffs inflate when the heart is resting and deflate when the heart is pumping. The special pumping cycle sends blood back to your heart at the time when it normally gets its blood, increasing the supply and decreasing the amount of work the heart must do to send blood through the body.
