ECP with the CardiAssist Counter Pulsation System feels like a vigorous massage.
After putting on your stretch tights, electrodes are applied to your chest to provide an ECG signal so that the CardiAssist system will be properly timed to your heart beat.
A sensor will also be clipped to your finger to give your blood pressure tracing. This is how your therapist determines the proper settings to maximize the effect of the therapy.
Next, the therapist places the cuff system around your calves, thighs and buttocks.
When activated, the cuffs provide what Dr. Kenneth Sunnnergren, Lewes, Delaware calls “leg-hugs”. These leg-hugs™ start in a wave form up the legs from the calves, to the thighs and finally the buttocks.
