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 کاملThe Role of Enhanced External Counterpulsation Therapy in the Management of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries and vessels that provide oxygen and nutrients to the heart. It is caused by atherosclerosis, an accumulation of fatty materials on the inner linings of arteries. According to the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association's 2010 publication on heart disease and stroke statistics, cardiovascular disease rema...
متن کاملEffectiveness of enhanced external counterpulsation in patients with left main disease and angina.
BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive device that uses three pairs of sequentially inflated pneumatic cuffs applied to the lower extremities and synchronized with the heart beat to provide diastolic augmentation, increase coronary blood pressure and flow, venous return and cardiac output, and decrease afterload. HYPOTHESIS This study examines the safety and eff...
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 کاملEnhanced 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...
