Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is transforming the way heart diseases are managed by offering a non-invasive, painless alternative to traditional surgical procedures like bypass surgery and angioplasty. At Rattan Multispecialty Hospital, we are proud to provide this innovative therapy, which has been widely recognized for its effectiveness and affordability. EECP was strongly endorsed by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the former President of India, who saw it as a game-changing solution for patients unable to undergo invasive treatments.
EECP therapy works by stimulating natural blood flow to the heart. During the procedure, cuffs wrapped around the legs and thighs inflate and deflate in sync with the heartbeat, improving circulation and promoting the development of new blood vessels (collaterals). These new pathways help deliver oxygen-rich blood to areas of the heart affected by blockages, reducing chest pain and enhancing heart function. This therapy requires no surgery, making it ideal for those with underlying health risks or who prefer non-invasive options.
The advantages of EECP treatment go beyond just being non-invasive—it is also painless, involves no downtime, and does not require hospitalization. A typical course involves one-hour sessions, five days a week, over a few weeks. Many patients report significant improvements in stamina, reduced symptoms of angina, and a better quality of life after completing the treatment. In addition to reducing the need for surgical intervention, EECP also lowers dependence on medications by enhancing the heart’s ability to function efficiently.
At Rattan Hospital, we are committed to offering patient-centric, advanced cardiac care, and EECP is an integral part of our efforts to provide safe, effective solutions. This therapy is particularly beneficial for those with chronic angina, heart failure, or patients who have been advised against surgery due to medical reasons. By harnessing the body’s natural mechanisms to improve heart health, EECP opens the door to a healthier, more active lifestyle without the risks associated with invasive treatments.
