Enhanced external counterpulsation as an effective nonsurgical solution for ischemic heart disease patients

Heart India, 2017
Stable angina is managed primarily through lifestyle advice, medication therapy, and coronary revascularization procedures. Some patients with refractory angina exhibit symptoms that are not optimally controlled with the optimal medication and ...

Contemporary and Emerging Therapies in the Management of Refractory Angina: A Clinical Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 869-884, March 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Refractory angina (RA) represents a growing challenge in clinical cardiology, particularly in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy and who are not candidates for revascularization.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Presenting With Recurrent Syncope After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Syncope is a manifestation of autonomic dysfunction after high spinal cord injury. However, it is rarely reported as a feature of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) after spinal cord injury. This case report describes a male in his 50s suffering from C2 spinal cord injury who developed recurrent postural syncope post‐injury ...

First evaluation of a novel pulsatile LVAD: Feasibility and haemodynamic impact in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 4171-4183, December 2025.
The pulsatile ventricular assist platform (pVAP) was connected to a membrane pump in six large swine models. The system, driven by a conventional intra‐aortic balloon pump console (IABP), was utilized to drain left atrial blood during systole and to eject the collected blood back into the ascending aorta during diastole.

Effectiveness of Enhanced External Counterpulsation Treatment on Symptom Burden, Medication Profile, Physical Capacity, Cardiac Anxiety, and Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Refractory Angina Pectoris [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Patients with refractory angina pectoris experience recurrent symptoms that limit their functional capacity, including psychological distress and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL), despite optimized medical therapy.

Fascicular/Purkinje Tissue Colocalized With Scar in Cardiomyopathy Patients Undergoing Ventricular Fibrillation Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 48, Issue 7, Page 672-681, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a poorly understood arrhythmia that is one of the main mechanisms of sudden cardiac death in patients with structural heart disease (SHD). Fascicular and Purkinje tissue (FPT) has been implicated in VF.

Acute effect of lower‐limb peristaltic pulse external pneumatic compression on segmental arterial stiffness in healthy young adults

Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, May 2025.
Abstract Although an acute bout of peristaltic pulse external pneumatic compression (EPC) of the lower extremities can improve vascular function, its effect on arterial stiffness remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the acute effect of lower‐limb peristaltic pulse EPC on segmental arterial stiffness.
