Evidence-based articles about EECP therapy — written for patients, caregivers, and providers who want to understand the science without the jargon.
EECP stands for Enhanced External Counterpulsation. It's an FDA-cleared, non-invasive cardiovascular therapy that improves circulation by working with your heartbeat — not against it. Here's everything you need to know.
