Cyclic GMP Release by Acute Enhanced External Counterpulsation [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hypertension, 2006
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive, pneumatic technique that provides favorable effects in patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure. The mechanisms by which EECP exerts its beneficial effects remain poorly understood. Cyclic GMP (cGMP) regulates vascular smooth muscle tone that may improve arterial function.

Enhanced external counterpulsation as an adjunct to revascularization in unstable angina [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, 1997
AbstractEnhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is an effective noninvasive treatment for chronic stable angina. Despite intensive risk factor modification, a patient required two surgical coronary revascularizations and seven multivessel angioplasties over a 26‐monfh period, demonstrating recurrent unstable angina and persistent thallium perfusion ...
