Last updated: October 2026 · Cardio Pulse Berlin

In short

For people whose heart or blood vessels need support. Whether EECP is right for you is something we clarify in the initial consultation.

Suitable for
Angina, coronary artery disease, heart failure, after stent or bypass
Also for
Long Covid, sport, healthy ageing
First step
Cardio Check-Up with cardiac diagnostics
Decision
Together, based on your findings

For which symptoms?

  • Chest pressure (angina)
  • Narrowed coronary arteries
  • Heart failure
  • Symptoms after stent or bypass
  • When no further procedure is possible

Even without heart disease?

EECP is also an option without heart disease: for persistent exhaustion after long Covid, in competitive sport and for healthy ageing.

When do we advise against it?

With some pre-existing conditions, such as a leaking aortic valve, an aneurysm or a recent thrombosis. The list is in the article on contraindications.
