FAQ Heart Health

EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) is a non-invasive treatment used to improve blood flow to the heart. It involves wearing inflatable cuffs on the legs that inflate and deflate in sync with the heartbeat. This process helps reduce symptoms of angina, improve exercise tolerance, and promote overall cardiovascular health by enhancing the circulation of blood to the heart muscle.

Heart blockage is often diagnosed through diagnostic tests such as ECGs, stress tests, and angiograms.
