Enhanced external counterpulsation improves endothelial function in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to examine the effect of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on endothelial function. BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation improves symptoms and exercise tolerance in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the exact mechanisms by which this technique exerts its clinical benefit are unclear. METHODS Reactive hype...
متن کاملEnhanced external counterpulsation improves exercise tolerance, reduces exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and improves left ventricular diastolic filling in patients with coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES We examined whether enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) improves myocardial ischemia, exercise tolerance and cardiac function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation reduces angina and improves exercise tolerance in patients with CAD. Some objective improvements of ischemia by EECP have been reported, but they should be co...
متن کاملExercise capacity in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.
Normal or near-normal exercise capacity has been thought to reflect normal left ventricular function. Many compensatory mechanisms could preserve exercise capacity in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. We evaluated exercise capacity using a treadmill exercise test in 26 patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction defined by a left ventricular ejection fraction of 30% or le...
متن کاملInvasive left ventricular energetics during enhanced external counterpulsation.
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive technique that provides beneficial effects for patients with chronic, symptomatic angina pectoris. However, the direct left ventricular effects of EECP have not been studied invasively. We examined invasive right atrial pressure and left ventricular hemodynamics during EECP. Ten patients referred for diagnostic evaluation underwent left...
متن کاملEnhanced 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...
