Treatment 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 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 کاملEnhanced 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 کاملComparison of patients undergoing enhanced external counterpulsation and spinal cord stimulation for refractory angina pectoris.
INTRODUCTION As more patients survive coronary events, the prevalence of patients with refractory angina pectoris is increasing. The aim was to evaluate the effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and compare with optimal medically treated patients with refractory angina. METHODS 153 patients with refractory angina were treated with either EECP, ...
متن کاملThe role of enhanced external counterpulsation in the treatment of angina and heart failure.
As the incidence of angina and heart failure continue to rise, new therapeutic options will be needed to treat patients who remain symptomatic or who are intolerant to current treatment. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive modality being investigated in both angina and congestive heart failure patients. It has been proven to provide symptomatic benefit in angina patients,...
