I'm really concerned because my heartbeat is only 20 and I'm having trouble breathing. Can you tell me how much your EECP treatment costs? How long does the treatment usually take? And could you walk me through the whole treatment process? I'm eager to understand more about what to expect.

For your condition, EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) treatment can be beneficial. The treatment fee can vary depending on the healthcare facility and location, so it's best to inquire directly at the clinic. Typically, an EECP treatment course involves 35 one-hour sessions, usually conducted over a span of 7 weeks (5 sessions per week). During the treatment process, you will be comfortably lying on a bed with large blood pressure-like cuffs wrapped around your legs. These cuffs will inflate and deflate in sync with your heartbeat to increase blood flow to your heart and improve its function. This non-invasive treatment can help improve your heart function and alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath. I hope this information helps.
