Two-year outcomes after enhanced external counterpulsation for stable angina pectoris (from the International EECP Patient Registry [IEPR]).
We assessed the long-term outcomes of enhanced external counterpulsation in relieving angina and improving the quality of life in a large cohort of patients with chronic angina pectoris. Seventy-three percent had a reduction by > or =1 angina class at the end of treatment, and 50% reported an improvement in the quality-of-life assessment after enhanced external counterpulsation; these results w...
متن کاملTwo-year clinical outcomes after enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) therapy in patients with refractory angina pectoris and left ventricular dysfunction (report from The International EECP Patient Registry).
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive circulatory assist device that has recently emerged as a treatment option for refractory angina in left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This 2-year cohort study describes the long-term follow-up of patients who had severe LV dysfunction that was treated with EECP for angina pectoris and reports clinical outcomes, event-free survival rates...
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...
