Enhanced 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...
متن کاملEnhanced external counterpulsation as a new treatment modality for patients with erectile dysfunction.
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive treatment modality which can increase arterial blood flow in peripheral and coronary arterial disease. Several studies have demonstrated an increase in the flow of the internal iliacal artery and in carotid and renal perfusion during EECP treatment. We investigated the effect of EECP in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). Thirteen ...
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...
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). ...
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...
