Counterpulsation: A technique for assisting the circulation by decreasing the afterload of the left ventricle and augmenting the diastolic pressure. It may be achieved by intra-aortic balloon, or by implanting a special pumping device in the chest, or externally by applying a negative pressure to the lower extremities during cardiac systole.Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumping: Counterpulsation in which a pumping unit synchronized with the patient's electrocardiogram rapidly fills a balloon in the aorta with helium or carbon dioxide in early diastole and evacuates the balloon at the onset of systole. As the balloon inflates, it raises aortic diastolic pressure, and as it deflates, it lowers aortic systolic pressure. The result is a decrease in left ventricular work and increased myocardial and peripheral perfusion.Assisted Circulation: Pumping that aids the natural activity of the heart.

The multicenter study of enhanced external counterpulsation (MUST-EECP): effect of EECP on exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and anginal episodes. (1/70)

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess safety and efficacy of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). BACKGROUND: Case series have shown that EECP can improve exercise tolerance, symptoms and myocardial perfusion in stable angina pectoris. METHODS: A multicenter, prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled trial was conducted in seven university hospitals in 139 outpatients with angina, documented coronary artery disease (CAD) and positive exercise treadmill test. Patients were given 35 h of active counterpulsation (active CP) or inactive counterpulsation (inactive CP) over a four- to seven-week period. Outcome measures were exercise duration and time to > or =1-mm ST-segment depression, average daily anginal attack count and nitroglycerin usage. RESULTS: Exercise duration increased in both groups, but the between-group difference was not significant (p > 0.3). Time to > or =1-mm ST-segment depression increased significantly from baseline in active CP compared with inactive CP (p = 0.01). More active-CP patients saw a decrease and fewer experienced an increase in angina episodes as compared with inactive-CP patients (p < 0.05). Nitroglycerin usage decreased in active CP but did not change in the inactive-CP group. The between-group difference was not significant (p > 0.7). CONCLUSIONS: Enhanced external counterpulsation reduces angina and extends time to exercise-induced ischemia in patients with symptomatic CAD. Treatment was relatively well tolerated and free of limiting side effects in most patients.  (+info)

Stabilisation of medically refractory ventricular arrhythmia by intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation. (2/70)

OBJECTIVE: To review the efficacy of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABCP) in medically refractory ventricular arrhythmia. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of the outcome of patients with ventricular arrhythmia treated with IABCP after transfer between 1992 and 1997. SETTING: Tertiary cardiac referral centre. PATIENTS: 21 patients (mean age 58 years) who underwent IABCP for control of ventricular arrhythmia. All had significant left ventricular impairment (mean ejection fraction 28.6%); 18 had coronary artery disease. RESULTS: Before IABCP, 10 patients had incessant monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and 11 had paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF). IABCP resulted in suppression of ventricular arrhythmia in 18 patients, of whom 13 were weaned from IABCP. After stabilisation of ventricular arrhythmia, 10 patients were maintained on medical treatment alone and one underwent endocardial resection. IABCP was maintained until cardiac transplantation in five patients. One patient had a fatal arrest before discharge and one died from progressive heart failure. IABCP failed to control ventricular arrhythmia in three patients and was subsequently discontinued. A cardiac assist device was employed in one of these until cardiac transplantation; the other two were eventually stabilised on medical treatment. Nineteen patients were discharged from hospital. Overall survival was 95% at mean follow up of 25.7 months. CONCLUSIONS: IABCP can be an effective means of controlling refractory ventricular arrhythmia, allowing time for the institution of more definitive treatment.  (+info)

Improvement of regional myocardial and coronary blood flow reserve in a patient treated with enhanced external counterpulsation: evaluation by nitrogen-13 ammonia PET. (3/70)

Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive treatment for chronic stable angina, which works by recruiting and developing the coronary collateral vessels. Coronary perfusion and coronary flow reserve (CFR) were evaluated by nitrogen-13 (13N) ammonia positron emission tomography (PET) in a patient who had undergone EECP. The patient, who had 3-vessel coronary artery disease, required a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for the right coronary artery. The PTCA was successful, but 6 months later he again felt chest oppression. The coronary angiography showed re-stenosis at the PTCA site, and other progressive coronary stenosis. The patient was again treated with EECP for 35 h. The 13N-ammonia PET was performed both at baseline and during dipyridamole provocation, before and after EECP treatment. Coronary perfusion of each myocardial wall increased at the baseline (anterior: 0.52-0.75; septal: 0.48-0.66; lateral: 0.61-0.68; inferior: 0.46-0.57 ml min(-1) g(-1), and the CFRs in the septal and inferior walls (septal: 2.07-2.15; inferior: 1.99-2.06) also increased after the treatment. Thus, the EECP treatment improved both coronary perfusion at baseline and CFR, which suggests that it may be one of the choices for treatment of angina.  (+info)

Cardiogenic shock triggered by verapamil and atenolol: a case report of therapeutic experience with intravenous calcium. (4/70)

Cardiogenic shock developed in a 72-year-old Japanese woman during combination therapy with verapamil and atenolol for recurrent supraventricular arrhythmia. She had coronary atherosclerosis, liver cirrhosis and bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome. Despite of the high-dose catecholamines and counterpulsation, she progressively deteriorated. Bolus administration of intravenous calcium chloride (CaCl2) immediately resolved her hemodynamic collapse.  (+info)

Enhanced external counterpulsation improves exercise tolerance, reduces exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and improves left ventricular diastolic filling in patients with coronary artery disease. (5/70)

OBJECTIVES: We examined whether enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) improves myocardial ischemia, exercise tolerance and cardiac function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND: Enhanced external counterpulsation reduces angina and improves exercise tolerance in patients with CAD. Some objective improvements of ischemia by EECP have been reported, but they should be confirmed further. Detailed hemodynamic effects of EECP have been less well documented. METHODS: Enhanced external counterpulsation was performed for a total of 35 h in patients with stable CAD (n = 12) who showed evidence of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia despite conventional medical or surgical therapies. All patients had significant stenotic lesions in major coronary arteries. RESULTS: Enhanced external counterpulsation improved all exercise test parameters (p < 0.05): exercise duration, time to 1-mm ST segment depression, rate-pressure product at peak exercise and rate-pressure product at 1-mm ST segment depression. Moreover, the prevalence of exercise-induced reversible perfusion defects by thallium scintigraphy decreased after treatment (p < 0.01). Enhanced external counterpulsation did not alter systolic function but improved diastolic filling, left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure (p < 0.05) by cardiac catheterization and LV peak filling rate end-diastolic volume/s (p < 0.01) and time to peak filling rate (p < 0.05) by radionuclide scintigraphy. These hemodynamic improvements were associated with decreased plasma brain natriuretic peptides levels after EECP (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Thus, EECP treatment improves exercise tolerance and reduced myocardial ischemia by thallium scintigraphy in association with improved LV diastolic filling in patients with stable CAD.  (+info)

Enhanced external counterpulsation improved myocardial perfusion and coronary flow reserve in patients with chronic stable angina; evaluation by(13)N-ammonia positron emission tomography. (6/70)

AIMS: The mechanism by which enhanced external counterpulsation therapy exerts its beneficial effects on chronic and symptomatic stable angina is largely unknown. To clarify the mechanism of action of enhanced external counterpulsation, we used(13)N-ammonia positron emission tomography to evaluate myocardial perfusion. METHODS AND RESULTS: This was not a randomized controlled study. Eleven patients (eight male, age: 61.6+/-9.7) with angina pectoris underwent enhanced external counterpulsation therapy for 35 1 h sessions. They underwent a treadmill exercise test and(13)N-ammonia positron emission tomography, both at rest and with dipyridamole, before and after enhanced external counterpulsation therapy. Neurohumoral factors and nitric oxide were also evaluated. Myocardial perfusion increased at rest after therapy (0.69+/-0.27 to 0.85+/-0.47 ml x min(-1) x g(-1), P<0.05). In ischaemic regions, particularly the anterior region, myocardial perfusion at rest and with dipyridamole and coronary flow reserve improved significantly after therapy (at rest: 0.71+/-0.26 to 0.86+/-0.31;P<0.05, with dipyridamole: 1.26+/-0.65 to 1.84+/-0.94;P<0.02, coronary flow reserve: 1.75+/-0.24 to 2.08+/-0.28;P<0.04). Exercise time was prolonged and the time to 1-mm ST depression improved markedly (P<0.01). After therapy, nitric oxide levels increased (P<0.02) and neurohumoral factors decreased. CONCLUSIONS: Enhanced external counterpulsation therapy improved myocardial perfusion at rest and with dipyridamole and was associated with an increased exercise tolerance with(13)N-ammonia positron emission tomography and increased nitric oxide levels. These results suggest that one of the enhanced external counterpulsation mechanisms is development and recruitment of collateral vessels.  (+info)

Left ventricular systolic unloading and augmentation of intracoronary pressure and Doppler flow during enhanced external counterpulsation. (7/70)

BACKGROUND: Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive, pneumatic technique that provides beneficial effects for patients with chronic, symptomatic angina pectoris. However, the physiological effects of EECP have not been studied directly. We examined intracoronary and left ventricular hemodynamics in the cardiac catheterization laboratory during EECP. METHODS AND RESULTS: Ten patients referred for diagnostic evaluation underwent left heart catheterization and coronary angiography from the radial artery. At baseline and then during EECP, central aortic pressure, intracoronary pressure, and intracoronary Doppler flow velocity were measured using a coronary catheter, a sensor-tipped high-fidelity pressure guidewire, and a Doppler flow guidewire, respectively. Similar to changes in aortic pressure, EECP resulted in a dramatic increase in diastolic (71+/-10 mm Hg at baseline to 137+/-21 mm Hg during EECP; +93%; P<0.0001) and mean intracoronary pressures (88+/-9 to 102+/-16 mm Hg; +16%; P=0.006) with a decrease in systolic pressure (116+/-20 to 99+/-26 mm Hg; -15%; P=0.002). The intracoronary Doppler measure of average peak velocity increased from 11+/-5 cm/s at baseline to 23+/-5 cm/s during EECP (+109%; P=0.001). The TIMI frame count, a quantitative angiographic measure of coronary flow, showed a 28% increase in coronary flow during EECP compared with baseline (P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: EECP unequivocally and significantly increases diastolic and mean pressures and reduces systolic pressure in the central aorta and the coronary artery. Coronary artery flow, determined by both Doppler and angiographic techniques, is increased during EECP. The combined effects of systolic unloading and increased coronary perfusion pressure provide evidence that EECP may serve as a potential mechanical assist device.  (+info)

Enhanced external counterpulsation improves endothelial function in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease. (8/70)

OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to examine the effect of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on endothelial function. BACKGROUND: Enhanced external counterpulsation improves symptoms and exercise tolerance in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the exact mechanisms by which this technique exerts its clinical benefit are unclear. METHODS: Reactive hyperemia-peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT), a noninvasive method to assess peripheral endothelial function by measuring reactive hyperemic response in the finger, was performed in 23 patients with refractory angina undergoing a 35-h course of EECP. In each patient RH-PAT measurements were performed before and after the first, at midcourse, and the last EECP session. In addition, RH-PAT response was assessed one month after completion of EECP therapy; RH-PAT index, a measure of reactive hyperemia, was calculated as the ratio of the digital pulse volume during reactive hyperemia divided by that at rest. RESULTS: Enhanced external counterpulsation led to symptomatic improvement (>/=1 Canadian Cardiovascular Society class) in 17 (74%) patients; EECP was associated with a significant immediate increase in average RH-PAT index after each treatment (p < 0.05). In addition, average RH-PAT index at one-month follow-up was significantly higher than that before EECP therapy (p < 0.05). When patients were divided by their clinical response, RH-PAT index at one-month follow-up increased only in those patients who experienced clinical benefit. CONCLUSIONS: Enhanced external counterpulsation enhances peripheral endothelial function with beneficial effects persisting at one-month follow-up in patients with a positive clinical response. This suggests that improvement in endothelial function may contribute to the clinical benefit of EECP in patients with symptomatic CAD.  (+info)

April 2, 2009 - Vasomedical Inc. this week conducted two presentations on the beneficial effects of EECP external counterpulsation therapy at the 58th Annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in Orlando.. The external EECP counterpulsation therapy is a noninvasive, outpatient therapy used in the treatment of ischemic cardiovascular diseases, currently used to manage chronic stable angina and heart failure. The therapy increases blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle and other organs and decreases the hearts workload and need for oxygen. Function of the endothelium, the inner lining of blood vessels throughout the body, is also improved, lessening resistance to blood flow. These actions reduce or eliminate symptoms of angina and heart failure, the company said. The first presentation by Randy W. Braith, M.D., Richard C. Conti, M.D., and colleagues from the University of Florida in Gainesville demonstrated that EECP therapy significantly improves brachial ...

External counterpulsation - Wikipedia  External counterpulsation - Wikipedia
While an individual is undergoing ECP, he/she has pneumatic cuffs on his or her legs and is connected to telemetry monitors that monitor heart rate and rhythm. The most common type in use involves three cuffs placed on each leg (on the calves, the lower thighs, and the upper thighs (or buttock)). The cuffs are timed to inflate and deflate based on the individuals electrocardiogram. The cuffs should ideally inflate at the beginning of diastole and deflate at the beginning of systole. During the inflation portion of the cycle, the calf cuffs inflate first, then the lower thigh cuffs and finally the upper thigh cuffs. Inflation is controlled by a pressure monitor, and the cuffs are inflated to about 200 mmHg. ...

The results of the PEECH trial demonstrate that 35 1-h sessions of EECP over a period of 7 weeks benefited patients with mild-to-moderate HF and systolic LV dysfunction who were receiving PT. Enhanced external counterpulsation effected a statistically significant increase (p = 0.016) in the percentage of patients exceeding a 60-s improvement in exercise time, making this a positive trial based on the predefined statistical criteria for the primary end-point analysis. However, it must be noted that EECP did not alter the percentage of patients demonstrating an increase of ≥1.25 ml/kg/min in peak Vo2. Consistent with the improvement in the percentage of patients exceeding a 60-s improvement in exercise time, patients receiving active therapy also demonstrated a modest increase in exercise time when assessed as increase from baseline and an improvement in NYHA HF symptoms. These benefits of EECP were demonstrable after completion of EECP therapy as well as for up to 6 months. The active treatment ...

Safety Study of External Counterpulsation as a Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov  Safety Study of External Counterpulsation as a Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
A stroke is usually caused by a blockage of one of the arteries that carries blood to the brain. Sometimes with a stroke, there may be a small amount of blood flow that manages to get through or around the blockage, and it may be possible that the amount of damage from a stroke may be reduced by increasing this blood flow. External counterpulsation (ECP) is a procedure in which a machine uses electrical signals from the heart that are detectable on the surface of the body in order to time the inflation of cuffs (similar to a blood pressure cuff) that are wrapped around a patients legs (calves, thighs and buttocks). Using a reading of the electrical activity from the patients heart (an electrocardiogram, or ECG, monitor), the machine inflates the cuffs with air at just the right time during each heart beat, during diastole, in order to change the blood pressure in a way that has been shown to increase blood flow to the kidneys, skin, eyes, heart, and brain.. In this study, patients presenting ...

External Counterpulsation Therapy Mechanisms of Action. There is evidence demonstrating improved endothelial function via the hemodynamic effects by the increased shear stress acting on the arterial wall, reducing arterial stiffness and providing protective effects against inflammation, inhibiting intimal hyperplasia and the atherosclerotic process.. There is also evidence that ECP therapy triggers a neurohormonal response that induces the production of growth and vasodilatation factors, which together with the increased pressure gradient created across the occlusive site during ECP Therapy, promotes recruitment of new arteries, while dilating and normalizing the function of existing blood vessels. The collaterals bypass stenoses and increase blood flow to ischemic areas of the heart, leading to improved clinical outcomes.. ...

Counterpulsation methods and systems for assisting the heart of a patient involve, for example, coordinating the operation of a pulsatile pump to suction blood from an artery through a blood flow conduit while the heart is in systole and expel the blood into the blood flow conduit and the artery while the heart is in diastole.

They also suggest that coronary angiography may be helpful if initial stress testing is inconclusive or has conflicting results. In terms of SIHD treatment, the guideline writing group updated the recommendation for chelation therapy from "Class III: No Benefit" to "Class IIb" indicating the usefulness of chelation therapy is uncertain for reducing cardiovascular events in SIHD patients. "Although disodium ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for specific indications, such as iron overload and lead poisoning, it is not approved for use in preventing or treating cardiovascular disease," they said. However, the writing group chose not to update the 2012 recommendation stating enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) may be considered to help relieve refractory angina in SIHD patients. After re-examining the scientific evidence the group noted that, "in general, existing data, largely from uncontrolled studies, suggest a benefit from EECP among ...

TMR is a treatment aimed at improving blood flow to areas of the heart that were not treated by angioplasty or surgery. A special carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is used to create small channels in the heart muscle, improving blood flow in the heart. Frequently, it is performed with coronary artery bypass, occasionally alone.. For patients who have persistent angina symptoms and have exhausted the standard treatments without successful results, Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) may stimulate the openings or formation of collaterals (small branches of blood vessels) to create a natural bypass around narrowed or blocked arteries. EECP is a non-invasive treatment for people who have chronic, stable angina; who are not receiving adequate relief from angina by taking nitrate medications; and who do not qualify for an invasive procedure such as bypass surgery, angioplasty or stenting..

Feasibility of subcutaneous ECG leads for synchronized timing of a cou by Sean P. Warren  "Feasibility of subcutaneous ECG leads for synchronized timing of a cou" by Sean P. Warren
Background: Emerging circulatory support devices that operate in counterpulsation to the native heart require synchronized timing of device ejection and filling on a beat-to-beat basis with the native heart using a patients ECG. Surface leads are commonly used for short-term patient monitoring but not appropriate for long-term use, and epicardial and non-thoracotomy leads increase the complexity of the device implant/explant procedures. Subcutaneous leads have been shown to be less susceptible to artifacts than surface leads, require less invasive surgery, and have recently been used successfully with a long-term subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. The objective of this study was to develop subcutaneous ECG leads for synchronized timing (filling and ejection cycles) of the Symphony device and wearable pneumatic driver for chronic counterpulsation therapy. To demonstrate feasibility, we tested the hypothesis that subcutaneous ECG leads provide equivalent QRS detection, lead migration,

EECP Treatment: EECP (enhanced external counter pulsation) therapy is an outpatient treatment used to improve blood circulation and increase cardiac output. It is normally used for angina and heart failure. In ME/CFS the treatment sessions are 30-45 minutes and are given once a week. During the treatment, the patient lies on a comfortable treatment table with large blood pressure-like cuffs wrapped around the legs and buttocks. These cuffs inflate and deflate continuously at specific times between heartbeats, a continuous electrocardiogram (EKG) set the timing so the cuffs inflate while the heart is at rest, in diastole, when it normally gets its supply of blood and oxygen. The cuffs deflate at the end of that rest period, just before the next heartbeat, systole. When timed correctly, this will decrease the afterload that the heart has to pump against, and increase the preload that fills the heart, increasing the cardiac output ...

There was no instant improvement in blood pressure or heart rate among sufferers in whom an intraaortic balloon pump was inserted, in comparison with those who didnt possess a balloon pump inserted. Although there is a positive aftereffect of intraaortic balloon counterpulsation on multiorgan dysfunction at day time 2 and day 3, as assessed with the use of the SAPS II, this impact had not been evident at day 4. There were also no significant results on C-reactive proteins level or serum lactate level, that have been assessed as measures of tissue and inflammation oxygenation. Experimental and clinical research have indicated that intraaortic balloon counterpulsation results in a hemodynamic benefit because of afterload reduction and diastolic augmentation with improvement in coronary perfusion.17 However, the consequences on cardiac output are modest and might not be sufficient to lessen mortality.17 In a recent, small, randomized trial, there were no significant variations in cardiac power ...

Coronary Collateral Growth Induced by Physical ExerciseCLINICAL PERSPECTIVE | Circulation  Coronary Collateral Growth Induced by Physical ExerciseCLINICAL PERSPECTIVE | Circulation
Since the first description of the coronary collateral circulation in 1958,15 extensive investigations have been performed to elucidate the mechanisms that stimulate coronary collateral growth. Buschmann and colleagues16 were able to show a significant increase in collateral formation after 7 weeks of intermittent external counterpulsation in 23 patients with stable CAD in comparison with an inactive control group. An increase of collateral blood flow was detected by Zbinden in a nonrandomized clinical trial in 40 patients10 following regular physical exercise, performed 3 times a week over 3 months. However, PCI of the diseased vessel was performed before exercise training was initiated, which eliminated any possible ischemic trigger of collateral formation.. The underlying mechanism for increasing collateral blood flow has been the center of considerable debate.17 There are 2 distinct mechanisms that can be activated in the presence of ischemia caused by a flow-limiting lesion in an epicardial ...

ABSTRACT. The mortality rate for cardiogenic shock has decreased over the past decade. These improvements are presumed to reflect increased use of intraaortic ballon counterpulsation and coronary reperfusion strategies which, by restoring patency to the infarct-related artery, can limit infarct size. Despite these therapeutic measures, mortality rates remain elevated. Current strategies are aimed at decreasing reperfusion times and measures to preserve and prolong myocardial cell viability.

METHODS AND RESULTS Eighteen dogs were instrumented with regional myocardial function sonomicrometers in the ischemic and control zones. The left anterior descending coronary artery just distal to the first diagonal branch was instrumented with a silk snare and Doppler flow probe. Additionally, pressure catheters were placed in the left atrial appendage, left ventricular apex, and ascending aorta for hemodynamic measurements. Regional myocardial blood flow was determined by using 15-microns radioactive microspheres. Measurements were made in the control state, immediately after coronary occlusion, at 1 and 2 hours after coronary occlusion, with reperfusion, and 1 hour after reperfusion. In treated animals, left ventricular assistance was maintained during the entire period of occlusion and reperfusion. The Hemopump was associated with a significant decrease in left ventricular systolic and diastolic pressure, whereas mean arterial pressure was maintained. Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation ...

Letters to the Editor: Noninvasive Treatments for Umbilical Granulomas - American Family Physician  Letters to the Editor: Noninvasive Treatments for Umbilical Granulomas - American Family Physician
IN REPLY: Thanks to Dr. Wooltorton for a nice and optimistic overview of noninvasive treatments for umbilical granulomas. I would add a resource1 to his armamentarium that praises the curative effect of common salt on umbilical granuloma. This article1 states that the high concentration of sodium ion in the area draws water out of the cells and results in shrinkage and necrosis of the wet granulomatous tissue.. However, contrary to Dr. Wooltortons impression, we did not ignore the easily reversed root causes of these lesions; we mentioned them in the first two sentences of the abstract and the first part of the discussion of the article.2 Dr. Wooltorton also implies that our technique is only pertinent for small umbilical granulomas such as in the case we presented in our article.2 In reality, it is effective for large pedunculated granulomas and avoids a prolonged and usually unsuccessful trial of conservative treatment. In our experience of treating hundreds of umbilical granulomas in ...

Enhanced external counter-pulsation (EECP) therapy is helpful for some people who have Angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs if an area of your heart muscle doesnt get enough oxygen-rich blood. EECP therapy improves the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle and helps relieve angina. You typically get 35, 1-hour treatments over 7 weeks. Large cuffs, similar to blood pressure cuffs, are put on the legs. The cuffs are inflated and deflated in sync with your heartbeat. ...

This amazing article was written by Breanne Kallonen! We encourage you to check out her website and follow her on Facebook and Instagram!. Does your partners snoring keep you up at night? Or are you the culprit that is keeping them up?. Snoring is not only a nuisance; it can wreak havoc on your health. Research suggests that snoring, with or without sleep apnea, may increase your risk of cardiovascular disease (1). In fact, snoring may put you at more of a risk than being obese, smoking, or having high cholesterol(1)! The reason is there is an association between snoring and thickening of the lining of the carotid artery (2). Thickening of the carotid artery is problematic as it supplys oxygenated blood to the brain.. Snoring is a very real health concern that should be addressed. Noninvasive treatments that get to the cause should be considered when possible.. ...

Impella May Create a New Gold Standard for Hemodynamic Support | DAIC  Impella May Create a New Gold Standard for Hemodynamic Support | DAIC
Two key news items in September made me think about the future direction of hemodynamic support, and that intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) will increasingly face a more serious challenge from small percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (pLVAD). This was reinforced when I received a cardiology market analysis from GlobalData agreeing with this assessment.. Since the 1970s, IABPs have been the gold standard for hemodynamic support in low ejection fraction patients, especially those with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. However, when IABPs were first introduced, there was no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical trial requirement to prove efficacy. So, until now, only a few registry studies and clinical trials have shown IABPs can improve blood pressure and coronary perfusion. Based on this limited data, international guidelines recommend the use of IABPs for cardiogenic shock. Use of IABPs for cardiogenic shock is estimated at 25-40 percent of cases. This ...

The bony thorax with its overlying muscles and integument creates a cage that protects the relatively fragile heart, great vessels, lungs, esophagus, and large lymphatic vessels. Disruption of the thorax by trauma, tumor, congenital anomaly, infection, or surgical intervention can have potentially lethal consequences. Advances in cardiac and thoracic surgery have enabled surgeons to operate safely within these cavities. Positive-pressure ventilation with the use of selective tubes and bronchial blockers permits surgeons to open the pleural spaces and continue respiration while the pleural cavity is disrupted. Technological advances in cardiac surgery include cardiopulmonary bypass, intraaortic balloon pumps, and ventricular assist devices that permit continued or augmented perfusion with oxygenated blood. These advances combined with a better understanding of biomaterials,1-3 tissue-engineered solutions, and advances in plastic and reconstructive surgery4-6 have permitted more complex sternal ...

One hundred and seven patients had been supported with short-term VADs before transplantation, while the remaining 597 had been bridged with conventional therapy, that included intravenous inotropes, invasive mechanical ventilation and / or intraaortic balloon pump. Implanted VADs were paracorporeal pulsatile-flow devices in 58 cases and extracorporeal continuous-flow ones in 47. Interestingly, mean waiting list time was extremely short, around 5 days, a characteristic fact of the well-organized Spanish high-emergency organ procurement and allocation system ...

Refractory Angina Market - A detailed analysis of key segments of the market | Montpelier Journal  Refractory Angina Market - A detailed analysis of key segments of the market | Montpelier Journal
In simple terms, refractory angina (RFA) is a disabling chronic heart pain, as a result of heart disease. Angioplasty, coronary artery bypass surgery, or even medical therapy have failed to control this chest pain. A chronic chest pain can be determined if it occurs longer than three months. The blockage of arteries takes place due to a build-up of plaque. As a result, blood flow slows down and makes it hard for oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart. This causes angina or chest pain. Those suffering from angina may experience back, neck, shoulder, arm, or jaw pain. Those with RFA have angina symptoms that are more severe and difficult to manage than those who experience regular stable angina. The symptoms are usually unmanageable; however, there are few specialized treatments that can aid in reducing the severity of the symptoms. A non-invasive therapy known as Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) places compressive cuffs on the upper and lower legs (calves, upper, and thighs). Along with ...

An intra-aortic balloon pump includes a balloon, a catheter having a relatively small diameter lumen and an extender having a relatively large diameter lumen connected in series. A valve is positioned in the extender adjacent the end of the extender connected to the catheter. The valve enables the extender to be pressurized with a working gas prior to inflation of the balloon and to be evacuated prior to deflation of the balloon. A second valve adjacent the opposite end of the extender permits the intra-aortic balloon pump to commence a pre-inflation step or a pre-deflation step without affecting the pressure in the extender. Separate positive pressure and negative pressure extenders may be provided to reduce the movement of the working gas during inflation and deflation cycles, thereby increasing pneumatic efficiency.

The Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump: A Patients Guide  The Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump: A Patient's Guide
The intra-aortic balloon pump, or simply IABP, is a catheterization procedure involving a balloon. The device is inserted into the aorta and is used to increase blood flow to the heart and reduce cardiac output. Although the procedure is sometimes elective, this may not be the case when it comes to a cardiac emergency. The IABP is most often used in individuals suffering from acute heart attack, heart failure and during certain kinds of heart surgery. Risks of having the balloon pump include, but are not limited to, infection, embolism and blockage of other arteries.

During the first two years of life, the human body grows at an extremely rapid rate - Mehtas Growth Guidance Casting (MGGC) harnesses this vigorous natural growth as the corrective force and creates the possibility for young spines to grow straight three-dimensionally. Here are firsthand perspectives from children and families who have experienced MGGC. As youll see, casting is a process that can create a lifetime of health and well-being. The MGGC protocol, developed by orthopedic surgeon Min Mehta, MD, is a set of treatment principles that specifically adapts EDF Casting (extension, derotation and flexion) to treat infants and toddlers. It cannot be overstated that Early Detection and Early Treatment can dramatically lessen the number of casts required and the total time in casts. MGGC is the only gentle, noninvasive treatment for PIS.

Missing data could be a source of uncontrolled bias. However, due to the low range of missing data in our data, it is unlikely to influence the results significantly. It is also important to note that patients who only received vasopressor therapy were completely excluded from the analysis. This is a unique population that may actually do better than patients represented in the current article. Despite these limitations, we believe the results show an underlying signal regarding the potentially harmful effect of perioperative inotropic therapy. Our results support the findings of two other important observational studies. Fellahi et al. reported that catecholamine administration was associated with major cardiac morbidity. In an initial cohort of 667 patients, perioperative use of catecholamines was associated with increased cardiac morbidity measured as a combined endpoint of postoperative sustained ventricular arrhythmia, need for an intraaortic balloon pump in ICU or postoperative MI.

Options When Revascularization Isnt One; Role of the Heart Team for Refractory Angina - American College of Cardiology  Options When Revascularization Isn't One; Role of the Heart Team for Refractory Angina - American College of Cardiology
For ischemic heart disease with refractory angina that cannot be revascularized, Dr. Miller said options include optimizing medical therapy, such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, nitrates, ranolazine, allopurinol, L-arginine, opioids, and perhaps some investigational agents (if you can get the patient enrolled in a clinical trial). In this setting, the heart team may include the patients general cardiologist, primary doctor, family, nurses, and perhaps other office staff.. While the medical record may suggest the patient is on appropriate therapy, adherence may be a factor. After MI, a large proportion of patients discontinue use of medications over time. Indeed, by 3 years, more than half of patients in one community-based study had already stopped taking statins, beta-blockers, or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers.4. Also, its important to target risk factors through statin therapy, antihypertensives, antiplatelets, smoking cessation, weight ...

Datascope has received a complaint that has been associated with a patient death due to the failure of the device to initiate therapy.. This complaint involved a CS300 IABP that did not pump due to an electrical test failure code #58 (power up vent tests fail), maintenance code #3, and an autofill failure. An electrical test failure code #58 is caused by a solenoid valve requiring more power than the solenoid driver board can deliver to open the valve.. There are approximately 12,000 affected units sold globally. The affected IABP units were distributed in the U.S. and worldwide (in over 100 countries). Affected units were distributed between March 23, 2003, and December 11, 2013. Units distributed after December 11, 2013, are not affected by the field correction..

However, retrograde blood flow increases left ventricular (LV) afterload during femoral VA-ECMO. Additional support by means of an intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) alleviates LV afterload but is associated with significant adverse events. We previously developed a system for rotational speed modulation in synchrony with the native cardiac cycle, for use with implantable continuous-flow LV assist devices.

INTRODUCTION Stimulation of coronary collateral vessel growth by therapeutic angiogenesis (TA) offers an alternative treatment option for patients with refractory angina. Several TA modalities, including delivery to the heart of angiogenic growth factors (proteins or genes) and cells have been tested in clinical trials in the past two decades, but so far none of them resulted in significant therapeutic efficacy in large scale studies. This review attempts to identify the main obstacles hindering clinical success and recommends measures to overcome them in the future. AREAS COVERED After stating the medical need and rational for TA, and listing and briefly discussing past and current TA clinical trials, three main areas of obstacles are described: conceptual questions, technical limitations and clinical design uncertainties. Based on scientific and technical advances and lessons learned in past clinical trials, potential solutions to overcome some of these obstacles are proposed. EXPERT OPINION

Intra-aortic balloon pump - Wikipedia  Intra-aortic balloon pump - Wikipedia
The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical device that increases myocardial oxygen perfusion while at the same time increasing cardiac output. Increasing cardiac output increases coronary blood flow and therefore myocardial oxygen delivery. It consists of a cylindrical polyethylene balloon that sits in the aorta, approximately 2 centimeters (0.79 in) from the left subclavian artery and counterpulsates. That is, it actively deflates in systole, increasing forward blood flow by reducing afterload through a vacuum effect. It actively inflates in diastole, increasing blood flow to the coronary arteries via retrograde flow. These actions combine to decrease myocardial oxygen demand and increase myocardial oxygen supply. A computer-controlled mechanism inflates the balloon with helium from a cylinder during diastole, usually linked to either an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a pressure transducer at the distal tip of the catheter; some IABPs, such as the Datascope System 98XT, allow asynchronous ...

Zelnorm® Angina Pectoris Warning | Zelnorm Attorney, Lawyer, Law Firm  Zelnorm® Angina Pectoris Warning | Zelnorm Attorney, Lawyer, Law Firm
Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain caused by a lack of blood and/or oxygen in the heart muscle. The term comes from the Greek word "ankhon" meaning "strangling" and the Latin word "pectus" meaning "chest". This is most likely due to the fact that someone suffering from this condition describes the pain of an attack as a squeezing sensation, a tightness in the chest, or a feeling of pressure.. In addition to chest discomfort, pain from angina pectoris may also be felt in the upper abdomen, neck, jaw, back, or shoulders. The pain can be accompanied by sweating, breathlessness, or nausea. Angina pectoris attacks usually last for 1 to 5 minutes; pain lasting only a few seconds is normally not angina pectoris. Angina pectoris attacks that worsen as the attack progresses, angina pectoris that occurs suddenly while you are at rest, and angina pectoris lasting longer than 15 minutes are all considered signs of unstable angina. Unstable angina is an indication that an individual has a ...
