摘要
As the incidence of argina and heart failure continue to rise, new therapeutic options will be needed to treat patients who remain symptomatic or who are intolerant to current treatment. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive modality being investigated in both angina and congestive heart failure patients. It has been proven to provide symptomatic benefit in angina patients, but has not been proven to show an increase in life expectancy or decrease in cardiovascular events. EECP in heart failure has been proven to be safe, but its efficacy IS still uncertain. The present paper summarizes the current literature on the clinical use of EECP in angina and heart failure.
