Angina
Chest pain & pressure
For patients with stable or chronic angina, EECP has been shown to reduce chest pain episodes, decrease nitrate use, improve exercise tolerance, and increase energy, without surgery.
Learn about AnginaEECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) is an FDA-cleared, in-office treatment that increases blood flow, builds natural bypasses around blocked arteries, and reduces angina, fatigue, and breathlessness, without surgery, recovery, or downtime.
Counterpulsation Therapy (EECP) is an FDA-cleared treatment that inflates cuffs on your legs in sync with your heartbeat. The result: more blood flow to your heart, new natural bypasses around blocked arteries, and lasting relief from chest pain and fatigue.
EECP is delivered over 35 one-hour sessions across 7 weeks. Each session is comfortable. Most patients read, nap, or watch TV. Here’s what’s happening inside your body while you relax.
Three sets of cuffs wrap around your calves, thighs, and hips. They inflate in sequence (calves first, then thighs, then hips), perfectly timed with the resting phase of your heartbeat.
The wave of pressure pushes oxygen-rich blood up through your arteries and into the coronaries, delivering more oxygen to your heart muscle exactly when it needs it most.
Over the 7-week course, your body responds by growing natural “bypass” vessels: collateral pathways around blockages. The improvements continue working long after your final session.
EECP is FDA-cleared and clinically proven for a range of cardiovascular conditions, from chronic angina to non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Many patients come to us after being told there’s nothing more to do.

For Class II–III heart failure patients, EECP can improve cardiac output, quality of life scores, and 6-minute walk distance, making everyday activities feel possible again.
Learn about Heart FailureBlocked or narrowed arteries
EECP encourages the body to form natural bypasses (collateral vessels around blocked arteries), improving blood flow without the risks of stents or open-heart surgery.

Common in women and underdiagnosed, INOCA causes angina-like symptoms with no major blockages. EECP improves microvascular function, often where stents and bypass can’t help.
