EECP is the ONLY external counterpulsation system that has been tested in clinical trials and published in leading cardiovascular peer-reviewed journals demonstrating the benefits provided to patients suffering from angina and heart failure. With over 700 EECP treatment centers around the world, the therapy has been clinically tested and used in many of the world’s leading heart institutions.


EECP therapy by Vasomedical is supported by extensive research*

  • More than 100 papers, abstracts and presentations published featuring the benefits of EECP
  • MUST-EECP: The Multicenter Study of Enhanced External Counterpulsation
  • International EECP Patient Registry (IEPR), University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health
  • - IEPR I – Over 5,000 patients across 92 centers treated using only Vasomedical EECP systems
  • - IEPR II – Initiated in 2002 with a target of collecting clinical outcome data based upon an additional 2,500 patients receiving treatment with Vasomedical’s EECP systems
  • Congestive heart failure feasibility study demonstrating patient safety and six month improvements in oxygen consumption at peak exercise, exercise duration and quality of life
  • PEECH™ (Prospective Evaluation of EECP in Congestive Heart Failure) multicenter trial with a target of 180 patients across 30 centers Current reimbursement policy developed by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is based upon clinical efficacy data from EECP system studies

Each EECP system comes with all the necessary tools to implement a successful program

  • Onsite technical training program available for qualified personnel performed by Registered Nurses specializing in cardiology
  • Training certification upon program completion which includes a one-year paid membership to the International EECP Therapists Association (IETA)
  • Physician Starter Kit which includes a six-month supply of electrodes, system recording paper and treatment pants
  • Reimbursement Handbook describing the guidelines for effective billing to obtain EECP therapy reimbursement
  • Clinical and reimbursement telephone support
  • Knowledgeable and sophisticated sales force and clinical specialists recognized for clinical expertise and customer service

EECP is a successful, non-invasive therapy that improves the quality of life for patients diagnosed with angina and heart failure. Including this therapy in patient treatment assists in reducing pain, easing discomfort and promoting a return to normal activities. The vast majority of external counterpulsation providers are physicians who recognize the benefits of EECP therapy as an additional cardiovascular disease management tool. Vasomedical's leadership in cardiovascular research, and its thorough training and support programs, have earned the Company a solid reputation in the medical community. Your patients are relying on you to make the best clinical decisions and you owe it to them—and to your practice—to consider the industry's foremost pioneer in EECP—Vasomedical.
