Enhanced External Counterpulsation and Future Directions
Between 25,000 and 75,000 new cases of angina refractory to maximal medical therapy and standard coronary revascularization procedures are diagnosed each year. In addition, heart failure also places an enormous burden on the U.S. health care system, with an estimated economic impact ranging from $20 billion to more than $50 billion per year. The technique of counterpulsation, studied for almost...
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 کاملThe multicenter study of enhanced external counterpulsation (MUST-EECP): effect of EECP on exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and anginal episodes.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess safety and efficacy of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). BACKGROUND Case series have shown that EECP can improve exercise tolerance, symptoms and myocardial perfusion in stable angina pectoris. METHODS A multicenter, prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled trial was conducted in seven university hospitals in 139 outpatients wi...
