Enhanced External Counterpulsation Effects on Venous Leg Symptoms
Background: Venous diseases encompass a large spectrum of abnormalities in the venous system with complaints, such as aching and swelling. Enhanced external counterpulsation, proven safe and effective in patients with coronary artery disease and chronic ...

THE EXPERIENCE OF ENHANCED EXTERNAL COUNTERPULSATION USING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE COMPLEX “CARDIOPULSAR” IN PATIENTS WITH WIDESPREAD ATHEROSCLEROSIS OF VARIOUS LOCATION [PDF]
The article describes the experience of using enhanced external counterpulsation as one of circulatory support methods. Main indications for the procedure of non-invasive counterpulsation are briefly discussed.

Intravascular ventricular assist system (iVAS) is an investigative device in clinical trials for the management of advanced heart failure. It works on the principle of counterpulsation, similar to the classic intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP).

The assessment bioenergy of cardiac contraction in the conditions of mechanical support circulation
Aim: to develop a new modified index for the assessment of bioenergy heart in conditions of heart failure. To assess the energy of the heart when using systems to bypass the left ventricle of the heart using non-pulsed flow pumps.

The hemodynamics of counterpulsation
Summary and conclusions 1. Synchronized counterpulsation was applied to two groups of 9 dogs with the use of a new fluid-coupled pulse generator. Multiple measurements were made of central (cardiac) and peripheral hemodynamics. 2. The counterpulsation pump performance was superior to pneumatically coupled systems previously studied.
