ased on what we know so far, EECP should be considered in anybody who still has angina despite maximal medical therapy, and in whom stents or bypass surgery are deemed not to be good options.
Medicare has approved coverage for EECP for patients with angina who have exhausted all their other choices.
In 2014, several professional organizations finally agreed in a focused update that EECP ought to be considered for patients with angina that's not helped by other treatments. These organizations are:
The American College of Cardiology
American Heart Association
American Association for Thoracic Surgery
Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association
Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions
The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
