Erectile Dysfunction, defined as the inability to attain and maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse, is closely associated with coronary artery disease. Both often involve a narrowing of the arteries which leads to insufficient blood flow to the heart as well as the penis.  Studies have shown that by improving circulation to the pelvic region, EECP can help improve sexual function, even in the absence of coronary artery disease.

EECP is a safe, natural alternative to drugs or surgery. It is not only well tolerated but, at times, may be more effective than traditional therapies. A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that EECP improved erectile function in men with ED who had not responded to other treatments. A study conducted by the University of California, San Francisco said that 75% of men who received EECP treatment for ED reported significant improvement in their symptoms, the benefits lasting up to two years following EECP therapy.
