The effects of enhanced external counterpulsation on myocardial perfusion in patients with stable angina: a multicenter radionuclide study.
BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) reduces angina and extends time to exercise-induced ischemia in patients with symptomatic coronary disease. One- and two-center studies and a retrospective case series reported that EECP improves myocardial perfusion in stable angina pectoris. We sought to critically evaluate and quantify the effect of EECP on myocardial perfusion. 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 کاملOne year follow-up of patients with refractory angina pectoris treated with enhanced external counterpulsation
BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive technique that has been shown to be effective in reducing both angina and myocardial ischemia in patients not responding to medical therapy and without revascularization alternatives. The aim of the present study was to assess the long-term outcome of EECP treatment at a Scandinavian centre, in relieving angina in patients w...
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 کاملPassive tobacco exposure may impair symptomatic improvement in patients with chronic angina undergoing enhanced external counterpulsation
BACKGROUND The adverse effects of tobacco abuse on cardiovascular outcomes are well-known. However, the impact of passive smoke exposure on angina status and therapeutic response is less well-established. We examined the impact of second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure on symptomatic improvement in patients with chronic ischemic coronary disease undergoing enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). ...
