Enhanced external counterpulsation for refractory angina pectoris.
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive outpatient treatment used for angina pectoris. In patients with intractable angina refractory to aggressive surgical and medical treatment, several novel strategies are considered including EECP, transmural laser revascularisation, and spinal cord stimulation. EECP produces an acute haemodynamic effect that is presumed to be similar to...
متن کاملTreatment options for refractory angina pectoris: enhanced external counterpulsation therapy.
Refractory angina pectoris, defined as angina refractory to maximal medical therapy and standard coronary revascularization procedures, remains a significant health problem in the United States and the world. Despite a panoply of recent therapeutic advances, patients with refractory angina pectoris are not adequately treated; therefore, scientists have been investigating new technologies to hel...
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 کاملEnhanced external counterpulsation for the treatment of angina pectoris.
The treatment of refractory chronic angina pectoris presents an increasing problem for all physicians caring for patients with coronary artery disease because of the large number of individuals who have either failed multiple revascularization procedures or are not appropriate candidates for such procedures. The aim of this study was to review the safety, efficacy, and clinical applicability of...
