EECP for Patients

Preparation

Take all your medications exactly as they were prescribed by your doctor.
Don't eat or drink, except for your medications, for at least 90 minutes before your treatment.
Wear a blouse/shirt with an open collar.
Undergarments should be wrinkle free (e.g., Jockey® shorts, not boxers).
The therapist will give you special treatment pants to wear while you are receiving EECP therapy and may ask you to wear pantyhose (men too) under the treatment pants to protect your skin. Be sure to bring the pants with you each day of treatment.
Bring music, books on tape or other items to pass the time during treatment.

Tell your EECP therapist if you are experiencing angina, having trouble breathing, feeling points of pressure or pain, or need to use the restroom. Also tell your therapist if there are any changes in the way you feel or if you forgot to take any of your medications.
