EECP treatment consists of a series of sessions in which the patient lies on cuffs wrapped around their legs and lower body when they are placed on a treatment table. These cuffs, like blood pressure cuffs, are attached to a machine that inflates and deflates them in response to the patient’s heartbeat. The inflation of the cuffs during the heart’s resting phase (diastole) forces blood back into the heart, improving blood flow to the coronary arteries. During the heart’s active phase (systole), the cuffs rapidly deflate, lowering the workload on the heart.
