Coronary collateral growth by external counterpulsation: a randomised controlled trial
The efficacy of external counterpulsation (ECP) on coronary collateral growth has not been investigated in a randomised controlled study. Objective To test the hypothesis that ECP augments collateral function during a 1 min coronary balloon ...

Short-term external counterpulsation augments cerebral blood flow and tissue oxygenation in chronic cerebrovascular occlusive disease [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: External counterpulsation improves cerebral perfusion velocity in acute stroke and may stimulate collateral artery growth. However, whether (non-acute) at-risk patients with high-grade carotid artery disease may benefit from ...

The Effects of Enhanced External Counterpulsation on Cardiac Electrophysiologic Properties of Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease and Refractory Angina at Function Class II-III [PDF]
Introduction: Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive circulatory assist device that has been recently emerged as a treatment option for refractory angina or left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. The aims of this study were to examine the

An update on enhanced external counterpulsation [PDF]
The development of advanced revascularization techniques has resulted in the growth of a subset of patients with coronary artery disease who are nonrevascularizable and are considered to have refractory angina. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) has been developed for the management of these patients with chronic, refractory disease.
