Left ventricular systolic unloading and augmentation of intracoronary pressure and Doppler flow during enhanced external counterpulsation.
BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive, pneumatic technique that provides beneficial effects for patients with chronic, symptomatic angina pectoris. However, the physiological effects of EECP have not been studied directly. We examined intracoronary and left ventricular hemodynamics in the cardiac catheterization laboratory during EECP. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten p...
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 کاملLate systolic pressure augmentation: role of left ventricular outflow patterns.
Late systolic augmentation of the ascending aortic pressure waveform is believed to be caused by particular impedance patterns but also could be caused by particular left ventricular outflow patterns. Using a linear mathematical model of the entire human arterial tree, we derived realistic impedance patterns by altering 1) Young's modulus of the arterial wall of the individual branches, 2) peri...
متن کاملChanges of cerebral blood flow velocities during enhanced external counterpulsation.
OBJECTIVES Intra-aortic counterpulsation is the most frequently used cardiac assist device. However, there are only few studies of the effects of counterpulsation on cerebral blood flow and these report conflicting outcomes. The new enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) technique reproduces non-invasively the effects of intra-aortic counterpulsation. In this study, we evaluated effects of E...
متن کاملEnhanced radial late systolic pressure augmentation in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy.
BACKGROUND Wave reflection augments central blood pressure (BP) in late systole, thus increasing cardiac afterload. We examined the relationship between late systolic pressure augmentation in the peripheral radial artery pulse wave and the existence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertension. METHODS Brachial BP, radial augmentation index (AI(r)), and carotid-femoral pulse wave vel...
