Results demonstrated similarity between these 2 methods, except enhanced external counterpulsation had a transient effect of increasing right atrial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and cardiac index.Abstract:
This study compared the hemodynamic effects of enhanced external counterpulsation and intra-aortic counterpulsation in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Results demonstrated similarity between these 2 methods, except enhanced external counterpulsation had a transient effect of increasing right atrial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and cardiac index.read more

Intra‐aortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) for myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock
Susanne Unverzagt,Michael Buerke,Antoinette de Waha,Johannes Haerting,Diana Pietzner,Melchior Seyfarth,Holger Thiele,Karl Werdan,Uwe Zeymer,Roland Prondzinsky +9 more
TL;DR: There is no convincing randomised data to support the use of IABP in infarct-related cardiogenic shock, however, available evidence suggests that IABp may have a beneficial effect on some haemodynamic parameters.

Left Ventricular Systolic Unloading and Augmentation of Intracoronary Pressure and Doppler Flow During Enhanced External Counterpulsation
TL;DR: The combined effects of systolic unloading and increased coronary perfusion pressure provide evidence that EECP may serve as a potential mechanical assist device.

Two-year clinical outcomes after enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) therapy in patients with refractory angina pectoris and left ventricular dysfunction (report from The International EECP Patient Registry)
TL;DR: For patients who have high-risk LV dysfunction, E ECP offers an effective, durable therapeutic approach for refractory angina, with modest repeat EECP and low major cardiovascular event rates.

Effects of mechanical left ventricular unloading by Impella on left ventricular dynamics in high-risk and primary percutaneous coronary intervention patients.

TL;DR: LV unloading decreases end‐diastolic wall stress and improves diastolic compliance dose‐dependently and indicates beneficial LV unloading effects of Impella during high‐risk and primary PCI.

Enhanced external counterpulsation in the treatment of chronic refractory angina: a long-term follow-up outcome from the International Enhanced External Counterpulsation Patient Registry.

TL;DR: Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive treatment that is safe and effective immediately after a course of treatment, however, the duration of benefit is less certain.

The multicenter study of enhanced external counterpulsation (MUST-EECP): effect of EECP on exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and anginal episodes
Rohit R. Arora,Tony M. Chou,Diwakar Jain,Bruce Fleishman,Lawrence E. Crawford,Thomas L. McKiernan,Richard W. Nesto +6 more
TL;DR: Enhanced external counterpulsation reduces angina and extends time to exercise-induced ischemia in patients with symptomatic CAD and was relatively well tolerated and free of limiting side effects in most patients.

TL;DR: Improvement in reperfusion defects and increase in exercise duration are reflections of improved perfusion to ischemic regions of the myocardium in patients treated with EECP.

William Lawson,John C.K. Hui,Zhen Sheng Zheng,Z. H. Oster,Jordan P. Katz,Paul Diggs,Lynn Burger,Clifford D. Cohn,Harry S. Soroff,Peter F. Cohn +9 more
TL;DR: Both the short-term and now long-term clinical benefits of EECP appear to be maintained in almost all patients treated for chronic disabling angina, suggesting that long- term improvement in myocardial perfusion can occur.
