Does Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) Significantly Affect Myocardial Perfusion?: A Systematic Review & Meta-Analysis

PLoS ONE, 2016
BackgroundEnhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is currently applied for treating coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. However, the mechanism(s) by which EECP ameliorates angina pectoris and long-term left ventricular function remain largely ...

The multicenter study of enhanced external counterpulsation (MUST-EECP): effect of EECP on exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and anginal episodes

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1999
The purpose of this study was to assess safety and efficacy of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP).Case series have shown that EECP can improve exercise tolerance, symptoms and myocardial perfusion in stable angina pectoris.A multicenter, prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled trial was conducted in seven university hospitals in 139 ...

The Effect of EECP on Ischemic Heart Failure: a Systematic Review. [PDF]

Curr Cardiol Rep, 2023
Abstract Purpose of Review Heart failure is a serious global health problem, and coronary artery disease is one of the main causes. At present, the treatment options for ischemic heart failure (IHF) are limited. This article mainly aims to explore the evidence of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) as a non ...
