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 (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 کاملEffects of enhanced external counterpulsation on carotid circulation in patients with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive method previously shown to improve measures of myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease. However, the concomitant effects of EECP on large and small arterial properties have been poorly examined. In a randomized controlled study, we investigated whether arterial stiffness and resistance of the carotid circ...

متن کاملEndothelial Function Tetrahydrobiopterin Improves Endothelial Dysfunction in Coronary Microcirculation in Patients Without Epicardial Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine whether intracoronary supplementation with nitric oxide (NO) synthase co-factor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) improves NO-dependent coronary microvascular dilation in patients with coronary risk factors but no significant organic stenosis. BACKGROUND Impaired coronary microvascular dilator reserve attributable to endothelial dysfunction plays an important role in th...
