External Cuffs
Treatment is delivered through fitted cuffs around the lower body, without an incision.

EECPTherapy
Circulation support. In rhythm with you.
Enhanced External Counterpulsation uses carefully timed pressure around the lower body to support blood flow. Explore how EECP works and whether a clinician-directed treatment plan fits your health needs.
NoninvasiveHeartbeat synchronizedIndividual evaluation
Understanding EECP
Targeted pressure.
A precise rhythm.
During EECP, inflatable cuffs around the legs and buttocks tighten and release in time with the heartbeat. This coordinated sequence helps move blood toward the heart. You remain reclined while the system delivers the treatment.
Timed Compression
Inflation and release are synchronized to the heart’s cycle using monitoring equipment.
Clinical Context
Suitability depends on your diagnosis, cardiovascular history and current care plan.
Where EECP Fits
A clear purpose.
A considered plan.
The most useful starting point is the concern you want to address. Explore the questions that help guide an informed conversation.
Circulation
Start with the reason for treatment.
EECP has an established clinical role for selected people with chronic stable angina. Its use for other concerns requires a separate discussion of the evidence and your circumstances.
- Explain your symptoms and diagnosis.
- Review the intended benefit with your clinician.
Daily Activity
Define what progress would mean.
For appropriate patients with angina, treatment may help reduce symptoms and improve activity tolerance. Your clinician can identify useful measures to follow over time.
- Discuss the activities that matter to you.
- Agree on realistic goals and follow-up.
Your Care Plan
Keep the whole picture connected.
Bring your medications, prior procedures and recent test results into the conversation. EECP decisions should be coordinated with the clinician managing your cardiovascular care.
- Share relevant records before treatment.
- Continue prescribed care unless your clinician changes it.
The Session Experience
Know the steps.
Know what to expect.
A treatment plan begins with a review of your health and an explanation of the session.
Review
Discuss your history, medications and goals so a qualified clinician can assess suitability.
Set Up
The treatment team fits the cuffs and places the monitoring equipment.
Receive
Rest while the cuffs apply rhythmic pressure. Tell the team about any discomfort.
Follow Up
Review your response and the recommended schedule with the treating clinician.
EECP is not suitable for everyone. Heart rhythm, blood-pressure, valve and clotting conditions can affect eligibility. A clinical assessment is required before treatment.
Your Questions, Answered
Start with
clarity.
A few useful answers before you take the next step.
Ask the Eternum team →What does EECP stand for?
Enhanced External Counterpulsation. It describes the use of externally applied pressure timed to the heart’s rhythm.
Is EECP the same as compression boots?
No. EECP uses cardiac monitoring to synchronize cuff inflation and release with your heartbeat. Standard recovery compression boots generally use a different operating sequence and purpose.
What if numbness or tingling is my main concern?
These symptoms can have several causes. Start with a medical assessment and ask whether there is evidence for EECP in your specific situation.
How many sessions will I need?
The treating clinician determines the session length, frequency and course of care after evaluation. Ask the Eternum team about the available arrangements before booking.
Is EECP included in membership?
Ask the Eternum team to confirm current pricing, access and any membership benefits. Inclusion and session allowances depend on the applicable membership and service arrangements.
