EECP Heart Therapy
May 165 min read
The Clinical Research Department at Buena Park Heart Center was created in 2021, with a focus on Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP). To this end, the department is currently engaged in a number of projects aimed at broadening knowledge of EECP within the scientific and lay communities alike, with the final goal of increasing awareness and application of the treatment, which presently remains underutilized.
In this inaugural issue, we take a look at the history of EECP therapy, cite the treatment's popularity around the world, and review a groundbreaking EECP textbook by one of the leading experts in the field. Also included is an interview with Buena Park Heart Center Medical Director Dr. Joe Caceres, and a glimpse into our latest peer-reviewed EECP article.
In this final issue, we peer into an exciting new vista as we examine EECP’s potential to increase physical performance in individuals across all spectrums of health, including elite athletes. We also look at the potential role the treatment can play in recovery from COVID-19. Finally we sit down for an interview with one of our EECP therapists, to learn more about his experience administering this dynamic multi-purpose treatment.
