A simulation study of external counterpulsation
Computers in Biology and Medicine, 1994To study the haemodynamic effect of external counterpulsation, a computer model has been extended based on our previous work. Using this model, computer simulations have been performed on following aspects: the relationship between blood flow distributions and the control scheme; counterpulsation with and without buttock balloons; effects of duration ...

Enhanced External Counterpulsation
Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 2004Ischemic heart disease that is refractory or resistant to medical management is a concern to health team members, patients, and their families. These patients are limited in their abilities to perform activities of daily living and often find it difficult to exercise which negatively affects their quality of life. Some patients are confined to bed rest

Enhanced External Counterpulsation
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2003Enhanced external counterpulsation is a noninvasive technique designed to increase myocardial perfusion and reduce cardiac workload in patients with coronary artery disease. Recent trials have documented beneficial hemodynamic effects. Stress testing and radionuclide imaging have demonstrated improvemements in functional capacity and myocardial ...

Heart Lung and Circulation, 2005 Background: Diastolic counterpulsation has been used to provide circulatory augmentation for chronic heart failure or for short-term cardiac support. Recently an extra-aortic balloon (EAB) counterpulsation device has been proposed.

Kardiologiia, 1974
Twenty patients in cardiogenic shock following myocardial infarction were treated with external counterpulsation. Eleven patients died during or soon after treatment. One patient survived for three days and another for three weeks; both died in the hospital of complications apparently unrelated to counterpulsation.

Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation
The American Journal of Surgery, 1984The physiologic principle of hemodynamic circulatory support for the failing left ventricle must be directed toward reducing left ventricular work and myocardial oxygen demand and increasing myocardial oxygen supply. This support can best be accomplished with the use of intraaortic balloon counterpulsation.

Current Status of External Counterpulsation
Critical Care Clinics, 1986This article traces the development of external counterpulsation from its beginnings to the present. Initially, counterpulsation was carried out by cannulating the femoral artery. The hemodynamic goals were to reduce the afterload of the left ventricle, and to raise or augment the diastolic pressure.

Synchronous pressure assist-counterpulsation
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1969Abstract Experimental evidence indicates that counterpulsation should be an effective approach to the treatment of cardiogenic shock. Left ventricular work is reduced, diastolic pressure is increased and coronary flow is augmented. There is also evidence that the increased diastolic pressure may accelerate and magnify the development of collateral ...

Intra-Aortic Balloon Counterpulsation
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2006Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) is sometimes used in critically ill patients with cardiac disease. By increasing diastolic arterial pressure and decreasing systolic pressure, it reduces left ventricular afterload. IABP may be beneficial in subjects with cardiogenic shock, mechanical complications of myocardial infarction, intractable ...
