Key result
Enhanced external counterpulsation is a valuable noninvasive adjunctive therapy providing acute and long-term relief of anginal symptoms and improved quality of life in patients with refractory angina and heart failure.
Why the study?
Does Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) improve symptoms in patients with refractory angina pectoris or congestive heart failure?
Does Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) improve symptoms in patients with refractory angina pectoris or congestive heart failure?
EECP is an effective, noninvasive therapy for patients with refractory angina who are not candidates for revascularization, though its routine use in heart failure requires further evidence.

Sayami et al. (1970) conducted a review in Refractory angina pectoris and congestive heart failure. Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) was evaluated. Enhanced external counterpulsation is a valuable noninvasive adjunctive therapy providing acute and long-term relief of anginal symptoms and improved quality of life in patients with refractory angina and heart failure.
