External Counter Pulsation (EECP or ECP)

Has anyone in the forum had ECP treatment for Angina or Congestive Heart Failure?

I would need more information on the question. The intraaortic balloon pump is an external counterpulsation system. Are you referring to something else?

Hope this isn't too late. I had 35 treatments of EECP about 3 1/2 years ago. I had a heart attack with ischemia and told that my blockage was 95% and that I needed a triple bypass immediately if not sooner. Instead I opted for the EECP (much against the advice of the chief cariac surgeon at the Univ of Fla hospital) after considerable research into the techique. No more angina after first ten treatments. I have not had a single angina attack since and I have really stressed my heart considerably on occasion. E-mail me if you want more info. wbwright2@concast.net
