EECP Therapy
EECP Flow Therapy uses synchronized compression cuffs to improve blood flow to the heart during rest periods. This non-invasive treatment stimulates collateral vessel development, reducing angina symptoms and enhancing cardiac function. Patients receive 35 one-hour sessions over seven weeks, with each treatment calibrated to individual heart rhythms for optimal effectiveness.
Cardiovascular Assessment
Comprehensive cardiac evaluations determine EECP eligibility through medical history review and symptom analysis. Our specialists assess conditions like chronic angina, heart failure, and post-bypass symptoms to create tailored treatment plans. This initial consultation includes insurance verification and treatment expectation counseling.

Personalized scheduling ensures consistent treatment timing with flexibility for life commitments. Patients receive orientation on treatment procedures and facility amenities. Our team manages all insurance authorizations and medical documentation throughout the 7-week program.

EECP. Flow therapy, Fort Worth. These people are awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable staff Very professional- helpful, caring. I can't say enough positive about them. After my 7 weeks, I think I'll visit from time to time. . Oh, I was doubtful about making progress, After 9 sessions- I am better. Very little shortness of breath when walking and I climbed 22 steps of stairs today. It's been 7 months since heart surgery-November.and 4 months since Covid There is HOPE!

The staff was very helpful and professional and their system is very well structured. As far as the explanation of the schedule and payment structure it was not very clear from the way the information was printed out and the way it was verbally explained initially. It too a bit of clarifying asking questions to fully understand. But once that the information was clarified the rest was great. I'm looking forward to my treatment with them.
