Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 2004Ischemic 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]
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 in the management of patients with cardiovascular disease [PDF]
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]
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, 2001Enhanced 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 ...
