EECP® Therapy is primarily used as a non-pharmacologic outpatient treatment for patients with chronic stable angina (chest pain, atypical pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and cough). Numerous published studies have shown that patients with severe, diffuse coronary atherosclerosis and persistent angina, or significant silent ischemia burden, such as elderly patients and those with diabetes, challenging coronary anatomies, or debilitating heart failure, renal failure, or pulmonary disease, have also derived benefit from EECP® Therapy. EECP® Therapy has also been shown to be effective in relieving angina symptoms in patients with Cardiac Syndrome X. Benefits of EECP® have also been determined in the management of angina in the elderly, angina patients with left main disease, and in patients with mild refractory angina (CCS Class II). EECP® Therapy is equally effective in reducing angina symptoms in patients with or without diabetes, and in patients with all ranges of body mass index.
EECP® Therapy has also been shown to improve exercise capacity in heart failure patients with NYHA Class II/III and in exercise peak oxygen consumption in older patients with heart failure. EECP® Therapy has also been demonstrated to be equally effective in providing symptomatic benefits in angina patients with either systolic or diastolic heart failure. For patients with left ventricular dysfunction, EECP® Therapy has been shown to sustain the initial benefits for up to 3 years.
