effect of enhanced external counterpulsation (eecp) on exercise time duration and functional capacity in patients with refractory angina pectoris
background: enhanced external counterpulsation (eecp) is a noninvasive technique used for patients with refractory angina pectoris. there are controversial data on the effectiveness of eecp in improving patients with refractory stable angina. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of eecp for the treatment of patients with refractory angina pectoris. methods: ...
متن کاملEffect of Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) on Exercise Time Duration and Functional Capacity in Patients with Refractory Angina Pectoris
BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive technique used for patients with refractory angina pectoris. There are controversial data on the effectiveness of EECP in improving patients with refractory stable angina. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EECP for the treatment of patients with refractory angina pectoris. METHODS ...
متن کاملEffects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on myocardial perfusion.
PURPOSE To evaluate whether enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) exerts an effect on myocardial perfusion. METHODS Eleven patients with angina were studied before and after 35 sessions of EECP treatment. Myocardial perfusion was quantified with positron emission tomography and intravenous 13N-ammonia at rest and after dipyridamole, by means of a two-compartment mathematical model. CONC...
متن کاملEnhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) Improves Peripheral Artery Function
27 BackgroundIn coronary artery disease patients, enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) 28 improves peripheral arterial function and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, which have been 29 implicated in the pathogenesis of abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT). We sought to evaluate the 30 effects of EECP on outcomes of arterial function, glucose tolerance, and skeletal muscle 31 morphology in sub...
متن کاملTwo-year clinical outcomes after enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) therapy in patients with refractory angina pectoris and left ventricular dysfunction (report from The International EECP Patient Registry).
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive circulatory assist device that has recently emerged as a treatment option for refractory angina in left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This 2-year cohort study describes the long-term follow-up of patients who had severe LV dysfunction that was treated with EECP for angina pectoris and reports clinical outcomes, event-free survival rates...
