Enhanced External Counterpulsation for Management of Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Associated Microvascular Angina and Fatigue: An Interventional Pilot Study. [PDF]
Cardiol Res Pract, 2023 Background. Postacute sequelae of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection (PASC) are a novel clinical syndrome characterized in part by endothelial dysfunction. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) produces pulsatile shear stress, which has been associated with improvements in systemic endothelial function. Objective. To explore the effects of EECP on symptom burden,

Method for estimating pulsatile wall shear stress from one‐dimensional velocity waveforms
Physiological Reports, Volume 11, Issue 7, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Wall shear stress (WSS)—a key regulator of endothelial function—is commonly estimated in vivo using simplified mathematical models based on Poiseuille's flow, assuming a quasi‐steady parabolic velocity distribution, despite evidence that more rapidly time‐varying, pulsatile blood flow during each cardiac cycle modulates flow‐mediated dilation (

Acta Physiologica, Volume 237, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Aims We aimed to investigate the tolerability, safety, and effectiveness of enhanced external counterpulsation therapy (EECP) versus individual shear rate therapy (ISRT) in patients with lower extremity atherosclerotic disease (LEAD). Methods Eighteen patients (age: 73.1 ± 6 years) underwent EECP and ISRT, each daily over five consecutive days

Enhanced external counterpulsation for refractory angina pectoris [PDF]
Heart, 2003 Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive outpatient treatment used for angina pectoris. In patients with intractable angina refractory to aggressive surgical and medical treatment, several novel strategies are considered including EECP, transmural laser revascularisation, and spinal cord stimulation.
