Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for writing to us.EEC(Enhanced External Counter pulsation) is one of the most modern modalities of treatment in CAD. The ideal candidates for EEC are:1.pts of chronic angina 2.pts who are not responding to usual treatment by nitrates, Beta blockers, ACE inhibitors.3.pts who do not qualify for invasive revascularization procedure.  Considering the above recommendations you are a candidate for EEC. Please consult with your cardiologist for further details. Hope I have answered your query. Stay fit, good luck.
