Chronic counterpulsation devices for heart failure.

T he C-Pulse System (Sunshine Heart, Inc., Eden Prairie, Minnesota) is a novel implanted counterpulsation heart assist pump that is positioned around the ascending aorta. It is non–blood contacting and may be turned off intermittently or weaned off in cases of ventricular recovery. In this issue of JACC: Heart Failure, Abraham et al. (1) describe a safety assessment study in which 20 heart fail...

Ambulatory extra-aortic counterpulsation in patients with moderate to severe chronic heart failure.

OBJECTIVES The study sought to assess feasibility, safety, and potential efficacy of a novel implantable extra-aortic counterpulsation system (C-Pulse) in functional class III and ambulatory functional class IV heart failure (HF) patients. BACKGROUND 30% to 40% of HF patients suffer from poor functional status and quality of life (QoL) but are not in need of end-stage treatments. We undertook...

Enhanced external counterpulsation improves exercise tolerance in patients with chronic heart failure.

OBJECTIVES The PEECH (Prospective Evaluation of Enhanced External Counterpulsation in Congestive Heart Failure) study assessed the benefits of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) in the treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate heart failure (HF). BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation reduced angina symptoms and extended time to exercise-induced ischemia in patients with coron...

Ventricular assist devices for heart failure

BACKGROUND Heart failure is a clinical syndrome of major epidemiological and economical importance. In Germany as in other industrialised countries it is one of the leading causes of mortality, morbidity and disability. For patients not responding to medical therapies ventricular assist devices are used as bridge to transplant, bridge to recovery or as destination therapy alternative to transpl...

Devices in acute heart failure.

The optimal management strategy for patients with acutely decompensated heart failure has been limited to the use of various pharmacologic agents. However, with technological advances in mechanical devices, nonpharmacologic approaches now are available to supplement pharmacologic management. These devices range in sophistication and expertise and target various features of the acute heart failu...
