Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a non‐invasive assisted circulation technique and a rich pool of evidence has accumulated for its clinical application in the prevention and management of multiple comorbidities in the elderly population, including angina, heart failure, ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, sleep disorder, diabetes and its complications, ischemic eye diseases, sudden hearing loss and erectile dysfunction, as well as various psychological and psychiatric conditions. When applying EECP to elderly patients, emphasis should be placed on issues such as safety assessment, risk management and protocol individualization, as well as the monitoring of efficacy during and after treatment.
