Comfort Hospital Dhaka is proud to offer Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy — a safe, non-invasive, and clinically proven treatment for patients suffering from chronic angina, coronary artery disease, and heart failure. EECP provides a non-surgical alternative for patients who are not candidates for bypass surgery or angioplasty, or for those seeking complementary cardiac treatment alongside conventional therapy.

What Is EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation)?

EECP is an FDA-approved, non-invasive outpatient treatment that improves blood flow to the heart. During each session, inflatable cuffs (similar to blood pressure cuffs) are wrapped around the patient’s calves, thighs, and buttocks. These cuffs inflate and deflate in sync with the heartbeat, gently compressing blood vessels in the lower body to increase blood return to the heart during its resting phase (diastole).

Over a full course of treatment, EECP helps the body develop natural collateral blood vessels around blocked arteries — essentially creating a “natural bypass” that improves coronary blood flow, reduces angina symptoms, and enhances exercise tolerance.

Who Can Benefit from EECP Therapy?

EECP therapy may be recommended for patients with:

• Chronic stable angina (chest pain) not fully controlled by medication
• Coronary artery disease (CAD) with limited surgical options
• Heart failure (NYHA Class II–III) seeking improved functional capacity
• Patients who have undergone bypass surgery or angioplasty but still experience symptoms
• Patients who are not suitable candidates for bypass surgery or stenting
• Those seeking a non-invasive complementary treatment alongside existing cardiac care

How Does EECP Treatment Work?

A standard EECP treatment protocol involves:

• 35 sessions, each lasting approximately 1 hour
• Sessions are typically scheduled 5 days per week for 7 weeks
• The patient lies comfortably on a treatment bed while cuffs are applied
• ECG electrodes and a finger pulse sensor monitor the heartbeat in real time
• Cuffs inflate sequentially during diastole and deflate before systole
• The treatment is painless, and patients can read, rest, or sleep during the session

Benefits of EECP Therapy

• Reduces frequency and severity of angina episodes
• Improves exercise tolerance and physical stamina
• Enhances overall quality of life for cardiac patients
• Non-invasive — no surgery, no anaesthesia, no hospital stay
• FDA-approved and backed by clinical research
• Can be used alongside existing medications and cardiac treatments
• Promotes natural collateral blood vessel development (natural bypass)
