Enhanced external counterpulsation improves skin oxygenation and perfusion
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2004AbstractBackground Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) augments diastolic and reduces systolic blood pressures. Enhanced external counterpulsation has been shown to improve blood flow in various organ systems. Beneficial effects on skin perfusion might allow EECP to be used in patients with skin malperfusion problems.

Treatment Benefit in the Enhanced External Counterpulsation Consortium
Cardiology, 2000The present study utilized a cohort of 2,289 consecutive patients enrolled in the Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) Consortium to evaluate whether results of university studies showing EECP safety and effectiveness in treating angina can be generalized. EECP was found to be safe and well tolerated with a 4.0% rate of adverse experiences. Angina

Enhanced External Counterpulsation in the Management of Angina in the Elderly
The American Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, 2003This study was undertaken to determine whether enhanced external counterpulsation is a safe and effective treatment for angina in octogenarians. In this prospective observational study, demographic and clinical outcome data on patients consecutively enrolled in the International EECP Patient Registry was examined.

Eff ect of enhanced external counterpulsation depends on arterial compliance
Acta Cardiologica, 2013Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive therapy offered to patients with refractory angina pectoris. Previous studies have demonstrated that its clinical effect depends on the diastolic/systolic augmentation ratio (D/S ratio). We hypothesized that the D/S ratio is associated with arterial stiffness measured as pulse wave velocity ...

Enhanced External Counterpulsation for the Treatment of Angina Pectoris
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2006The treatment of refractory chronic angina pectoris presents an increasing problem for all physicians caring for patients with coronary artery disease because of the large number of individuals who have either failed multiple revascularization procedures or are not appropriate candidates for such procedures.

Enhanced external counterpulsation: A novel therapy for angina
Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 2012Improved pharmacological, invasive, and surgical therapies for cardiovascular diseases over the last few decades have led to an increase in life expectancy of individuals with angina. Despite treatment with multiple medications and invasive procedures, these patients remain symptomatic and functionally limited. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP)

Enhanced external counterpulsation as a method for rehabilitation of athletes
Fizioterapevt (Physiotherapist), 2021The article describes the use of enhanced external counterpulsation as a method of rehabilitation of athletes after physical exertion during the training and competitive process. The purpose of the study is to research the effectiveness of external counterpulsation as the main and/or additional means of intensive physical rehabilitation.

Enhanced external counterpulsation does not compromise cerebral autoregulation
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2005Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) rhythmically augments blood pressure (BP) by diastolic lower-body compression. Recently, we showed decreased mean cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFVmean) in young healthy persons during EECP, but unchanged CBFVmean in atherosclerotic patients.

Psychosocial Effects of Enhanced External Counterpulsation in the Angina Patient
Psychosomatics, 1995Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive pantaloon device designed to increase coronary artery flow in the treatment of angina. This pilot study, conducted in 1992-1993, which used psychosocial testing pre- and posttreatment, yielded data suggesting that EECP is well tolerated psychosocially and produces improvement in the anginal ...

Efficacy of enhanced external counterpulsation in the treatment of angina pectoris
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1992Eighteen patients with chronic angina despite surgical and medical therapy were treated with an improved system of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) (1 hour daily for a total of 36 hours). Patients underwent a baseline treadmill thallium-201 stress test.
