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.
