EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) is a cardiovascular physical therapy and maintenance technology certified by the U.S. FDA and Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare. It is a non-invasive procedure that requires no surgery, injections, anesthesia, or hospitalization.

During treatment, patients lie comfortably as specialized pressure cuffs wrapped around the lower limbs inflate and deflate in sync with their heartbeat. This process acts as an "external second pump," enhancing blood flow back to the heart, improving endothelial function, and promoting the growth of new microvessels.

Standard aerobic exercise is "active" and requires the heart to work harder and beat faster to increase circulation, which can be a strain for patients with compromised heart function.

EECP serves as "passive exercise for blood vessels." During systole, cuffs deflate to lower resistance and cardiac workload. During diastole, forced blood flow creates wall shear stress, boosting Nitric Oxide and promoting angiogenesis (new vessel growth) without active workout strain.

If you are experiencing any of the following, EECP might be the solution for you:

• Detox and de-stress your blood vessels to prevent heart attack and stroke.

• Open microvessels to improve blood flow to every part of the body and enhance focus & memory.

• Relieve shortness of breath and chest tightness, and improves oxygenation.

• Achieve cardiovascular benefits like aerobic exercise while lying down.

Q: How Often Should I Have EECP Treatment?

A: For everyday wellness and circulatory maintenance, the initial phase typically involves 2–3 sessions per week for 1 to 2 months, followed by a maintenance routine of approximately 1–2 sessions weekly. As part of a long-term cardiovascular health plan, this is best complemented by regular exercise, a balanced diet, and healthy lifestyle habits.

For individuals with existing cardiovascular conditions—subject to a doctor’s clearance—the standard clinical protocol consists of 1-hour sessions, 5 times a week, for 7 consecutive weeks. Treatment frequency and overall program duration will be personalized based on individual tolerance and professional medical evaluation.
