Enhanced External Counterpulsation

Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 2004
Ischemic 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: Mechanism of action [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, 2002
The mechanisms accounting forthe salutary benefits of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) remain largely unknown. Emerging data now point to three possible hypotheses to explain its efficacy. These possible explanations include enhanced diastolic flow, changes in the neurohumoral milieu, and changes in ventricular function independent of changes ...

Enhanced External Counterpulsation

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2003
Enhanced 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 ...

Enhanced external counterpulsation in the management of patients with cardiovascular disease [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, 1999
Studies over the past several decades support the hypothesis that enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) can provide long-term benefits in patients with angina secondary to chronic coronary disease. Numerous non-sham controlled trials have recently been substantiated by a multicenter, randomized trial. Although the mechanism by which this mechanical

A review of enhanced external counterpulsation clinical trials [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, 2002
A variety of clinical trials of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) have been conducted since the 1960s. The vast majority of these studies have investigated the use of EECP in patients with angina pectoris. Only one of these trials was randomized.

Numerical Simulation of Enhanced External Counterpulsation

Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2001
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive, counterpulsative method to provide temporary aid to the failing heart by sequentially inflating cuffs on the lower extremity out-of-phase with the left ventricle. Optimization of the method necessitates consideration of the hemodynamics created by EECP and the mode of action providing patient ...
