Declining cardiovascular function underlies many hallmarks of aging. EECP addresses the root cause: reduced blood flow, endothelial dysfunction, and diminished nitric oxide production.
Cuffs inflate in diastole, driving a wave of blood retrograde through the aorta — increasing coronary perfusion pressure and delivering oxygen-rich blood to ischemic tissue.
Increased shear stress on the endothelium triggers release of nitric oxide — the body's master vasodilator — improving vessel tone and reducing inflammation.
Repeated sessions stimulate VEGF and other growth factors, promoting the formation of new collateral blood vessels in ischemic tissue.
Endothelial function improves throughout the body — not just at the heart — producing benefits in peripheral, cerebral, and microvascular circulation.
