What Is Flow Therapy?
In the span of 35 hour-long EECP treatments delivered over 7 weeks, Flow Therapy makes a lasting difference in patients facing limitations associated with heart disease. Patients lie on a treatment table where compressive cuffs (similar to large blood pressure cuffs) are securely wrapped around their calves, thighs, and buttocks.
These cuffs inflate in a distal to proximal sequence during diastole, and deflate simultaneously just prior to the onset of systole. Inflation and deflation are specifically timed to the patient’s ECG to optimize therapeutic benefit.
The sequential cuff inflation creates a retrograde pressure wave that augments diastolic pressure, increasing coronary perfusion pressure and venous return to the right heart (increasing preload and cardiac output). Rapid and simultaneous cuff deflation decreases systemic vascular resistance, afterload, and cardiac workload.

EECP Research & Resources for Providers
Over the past decade, the frequency of EECP therapy has increased in patients with angina.
EECP is shown to reduce angina and improve myocardial ischemia.

You are aware of my coronary anatomy from a previous stent, and also know that I am becoming intolerant to nitrites, and truly don’t just want another pill such as ranolazine.
Doctor, I would benefit from Flow Therapy.
You noticed a totally occluded RCA with collaterals, 1.5 cm OM1, diffused disease throughout left circ, and patent stents. I’m on aggressive medical management.
Doctor, I would like Flow Therapy.
My MPI is showing a reversible defect but my left heart cath resulted in non-occlusive disease with some slow flow.
Doctor, I would benefit from Flow Therapy.
I’ve had 3 trips to the hospital last year, and I severely limit my activities to avoid dyspnea and fatigue. I am on maximal tolerated medication with a blood pressure of 100/72.
Doctor, I would like Flow Therapy.
I had an abnormal MPI showing a small area of ischemia and live a sedentary lifestyle and exercise intolerant. You have prescribed cardiac rehab previously, but I still want more benefit.
Doctor, I would benefit from Flow Therapy.
