Influence of enhanced external counterpulsation on endothelial function: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [PDF]
, 2023 Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is an effective and noninvasive treatment for patients with refractory angina and chronic heart failure. However, previous studies evaluating the influence of EECP on endothelial function showed inconsistent ...

Enhanced External Counterpulsation for Ischemic Heart Disease [PDF]
Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, 2012 Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive treatment for patients with coronary artery disease who have angina pectoris that is refractory to pharmacotherapy and revascularization. The popular concept is that EECP may promote collateral development and improve myocardial perfusion. We hypothesize that improvements in peripheral arterial

Enhanced External Counterpulsation as a New Treatment Modality for Patients with Erectile Dysfunction [PDF]
, 1998 Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive treatment modality which can increase arterial blood flow in peripheral and coronary arterial disease. Several studies have demonstrated an increase in the flow of the internal iliacal artery and

Passive tobacco exposure may impair symptomatic improvement in patients with chronic angina undergoing enhanced external counterpulsation [PDF]
, 2008 Background The adverse effects of tobacco abuse on cardiovascular outcomes are well-known. However, the impact of passive smoke exposure on angina status and therapeutic response is less well-established. We examined the impact of second-hand smoke (SHS)

Current use of enhanced external counterpulsation and patient selection
Clinical Cardiology, 2002 Most patients who receive enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) have symptomatic coronary artery disease. These patients have either responded poorly to pharmacologic therapy or are poor candidates for revascularization procedures. Such patients receive a variety of consistent benefits from EECP treatment.

Comparison of patients undergoing enhanced external counterpulsation and spinal cord stimulation for refractory angina pectoris. [PDF]
, 2008 INTRODUCTION: As more patients survive coronary events, the prevalence of patients with refractory angina pectoris is increasing. The aim was to evaluate the effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and ...
