What Are The Risks of EECP?

EECP is a noninvasive procedure, meaning that you are not cut open. There are no needle pricks, either. This means that EECP is very low risk. You also don't need to take any special medication before or after the procedure, and you can go home immediately after the treatment. The most common adverse side effects are skin abrasions, bruising, or blistering due to the inflatable cuffs. Some people also feel minor pain in their legs and back.
