Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for Ischemic Cardiovascular Disorders

American Journal Cardiovascular Drugs, 2011
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death and a major cause of hospital admissions, with the number of affected patients increasing worldwide. The current management of ischemic heart disease has three major therapeutic options: medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

2016
The use of shock waves and radial pressure waves generated outside the patient’s body and delivered to the affected region to trigger the body’s mechanisms to initiate natural healing, called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is gaining worldwide recognition and the list of indications is increasing.

Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Bone

Veterinary Surgery, 2003
Extracorporeal shock waves have been used for 30 years to fragment uroliths for nonsurgical treatment for urolithiasis in humans. Applied to bone, shock waves delivered at the appropriate energy and pulse number, can stimulate osteogenesis. In Europe, shock waves are routinely used to treat nonunions in humans despite poor understanding of the ...

Extracorporeal shock-wave therapy. Experimental basis, clinical application

Der Orthopäde, 1997
The purpose of our studies was to investigate experimentally the dose-dependent effects of extracorporeal shock waves on tendon and bone and to unveil therapeutic possibilities in tendinopathies and pseudarthroses. In animal experiments, both positive and negative influences were exerted by shock waves, depending on the initial situation and on the ...

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Induces Alveolar Bone Regeneration

Journal of Dental Research, 2008
Periodontal inflammation with alveolar bone resorption is a hallmark of periodontitis. We hypothesized that extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) could promote the regeneration of alveolar bone following Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced periodontitis in rats. Rats were infected with P.

Low-Energy Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

2017
Despite recent advances in medical knowledge and technology, ischemic heart disease is still one of the major causes of death, with the morbidity increasing worldwide. We have recently developed a new, noninvasive angiogenic therapy using low-energy shock waves.

Pressure Pulses in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Pain Therapy

2003
The medical use of pressure pulses has various aspects. New developments in the pressure-pulse measuring technique as well as international standardization pave the way to better understanding of stone disintegration and biological effects. A comparison of the widely used measuring techniques is given.

[Extracorporal shock wave therapy in veterinary medicine].

Schweizer Archiv fur Tierheilkunde, 2001
This article gives a general overview on a new therapy in equine orthopedics. In human medicine extracorporal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is used for lithotripsy of stones of the urologic system and also in orthopedics. In equine medicine the therapy is almost exclusively applied for the treatment of orthopedic problems. The main indications are proximal
