Acute hemodynamic effects of enhanced external counterpulsation
In the United States, there are about 17.6 million patients suffer from symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD), affecting 7.9% of adults ≥ 20 years of age.1 An estimated 10.2 million patients have angina, and 500,000 patients will develop new angina pectoris each year.1 A subset of angina patients are categorized as refractory when symptoms continue despite optimal medical therapy and revasc...
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...
متن کاملTreatment options for refractory angina pectoris: enhanced external counterpulsation therapy.
Refractory angina pectoris, defined as angina refractory to maximal medical therapy and standard coronary revascularization procedures, remains a significant health problem in the United States and the world. Despite a panoply of recent therapeutic advances, patients with refractory angina pectoris are not adequately treated; therefore, scientists have been investigating new technologies to hel...
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 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...
