Abstract :
In summary, enhanced external counterpulsation is presumed to work by facilitating the development, or opening of coronary collaterals, or enhancing flow through existing collaterals. Improvement in radionuclide stress perfusion imaging was seen in 80% of treated patients and was inversely related to coronary disease extent. Furthermore, transmission of diastolic pressure and volume to the distal vessel appears to require a patent proximal conduit.
