Enhanced External Counterpulsation in Unrevascularizable Patients.
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive outpatient therapy for the treatment of chronic angina. EECP treatment produces an acute hemodynamic effect that is similar to that produced by the invasive intra-aortic balloon pump. Three sets of cuffs on the upper thigh, lower thigh, and calves of each leg are inflated with compressed air during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cyc...
متن کاملEnhanced external counterpulsation for refractory angina pectoris.
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive outpatient treatment used for angina pectoris. In patients with intractable angina refractory to aggressive surgical and medical treatment, several novel strategies are considered including EECP, transmural laser revascularisation, and spinal cord stimulation. EECP produces an acute haemodynamic effect that is presumed to be similar to...
متن کاملEnhanced external counterpulsation as a new treatment modality for patients with erectile dysfunction.
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive treatment modality which can increase arterial blood flow in peripheral and coronary arterial disease. Several studies have demonstrated an increase in the flow of the internal iliacal artery and in carotid and renal perfusion during EECP treatment. We investigated the effect of EECP in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). Thirteen ...
متن کاملEffect of enhanced external counterpulsation treatment on renal function in cardiac patients
BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) enhances coronary perfusion and reduces left ventricular afterload. However, the role of EECP on renal function in cardiac patients is unknown. Our aim was to assess renal function determined by serum cystatin C in cardiac patients before and after EECP treatment. METHODS A prospective observational longitudinal study was conducted in order...
متن کاملEnhanced external counterpulsation for the treatment of angina pectoris.
The treatment of refractory chronic angina pectoris presents an increasing problem for all physicians caring for patients with coronary artery disease because of the large number of individuals who have either failed multiple revascularization procedures or are not appropriate candidates for such procedures. The aim of this study was to review the safety, efficacy, and clinical applicability of...
