Acute Effect of Enhanced External Counterpulsation on the Carotid Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients With High Cardiovascular Risk Factors

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
PurposeEnhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) can improve carotid circulation in patients with coronary artery disease. However, the response of carotid hemodynamic parameters induced by EECP in patients with high cardiovascular risk factors remains ...

Assisted Circulation [PDF]

Circulation, 1963
The effect of counterpulsation upon hemodynamics and myocardial oxygen consumption was studied in 14 dogs. With properly synchronized counterpulsation, a reduction in mean systolic pressure, tension-time index, left ventricular work, and myocardial oxygen consumption was observed, with no change in effective cardiac output.

Acute Hemodynamic Responses to Enhanced External Counterpulsation in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Purpose: Enhanced external counterpulsation is a non-invasive treatment that increases coronary flow in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the acute responses of vascular and blood flow characteristics in the conduit arteries during ...

Intensity of hypertensive exposure in young adulthood and subclinical atherosclerosis in middle age: Evidence from the CARDIA study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundChronically high blood pressure (HBP) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. We measured the intensity of hypertensive exposure in young adults and calculated its prognostic significance for subclinical atherosclerosis in middle ...

Sex-Specific Associations of Risks and Cardiac Structure and Function With Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio in Diastolic Heart Failure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2020
Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects women more frequently than men. However, data on sex-specific associations of adverse health outcomes and left ventricular structure and function and with microalbuminuria in ...

Visit-to-Visit Fasting Glucose Variability in Young Adulthood and Cardiac Structure and Function at Midlife: The CARDIA Study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Glycemic variability was found associated with left ventricular structure and function in type 2 diabetes. But it is still unclear that whether the greater visit-to-visit fasting glucose (FG) variability in young adulthood among the community population ...

Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants versus warfarin in atrial fibrillation patients with heart failure and preserved, mildly reduced, and reduced ejection fraction: A systemic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundPatient prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) is increasing, and anticoagulation for patients from heterogeneous backgrounds with both conditions remains controversial. In this meta-analysis, we are aiming to compare the
