What happens in enhanced external counterpulsation?
The electrocardiogram indicates when each heartbeat begins, triggering the cuffs to be mechanically deflated. As each heartbeat ends, the cuffs are mechanically inflated
Is the enhanced greenhouse effect essential for life on earth?
The greenhouse effect is essential to life on earth. The enhanced greenhouse effect is not. In fact if it is enhanced too quickly it can be harmful to life.
Is measured using the Enhanced Fujita scale droughts floods hurricanes tornadoes?
The Enhanced Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes.
What would happen if the Greenhouse effect enhanced?
It's probably enhanced, or accelerated already. The warming earth is causing climate change.
Which single gas has the greatest impact globally on the enhanced greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is the gas that is having the greatest impact on the enhanced greenhouse effect.
To what procedures is enhanced external counterpulsation seen as an alternative?
balloon angioplasty , stent placement, rotoblation, atherectomy, or brachytherapy
What is the purpose of enhanced external counterpulsation?
to restore blood flow to the heart and to relieve chest pain (angina) and ischemia
Where is a location that does Enhanced External Counterpulsation treatments?
Legacy Heart Care (www.legacyheartcare.com). They have locations in Fort Worth and Austin, Texas.
What conditions is enhanced external counterpulsation used to treat?
chronic stable angina, coronary artery disease, or high blood pressure.
Of what information is a patient apprised before enhanced external counterpulsation?
the nature and purpose of the diagnostic procedure or treatment; the risks and benefits of the procedure; and alternatives, including the option of not proceeding
What happens in enhanced external counterpulsation?
The electrocardiogram indicates when each heartbeat begins, triggering the cuffs to be mechanically deflated. As each heartbeat ends, the cuffs are mechanically inflated

How long is enhanced external counterpulsation treatment?
one to two hours. Treatments must be repeated about five times a week for up to seven weeks to achieve improved circulation
What conditions render a patient ineligible for enhanced external counterpulsation?
valve disease; uncontrolled arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms); severe hypertension; uncontrolled congestive heart failure; significant blockages or blood clots in the leg
What are some of the latest advances in non-surgical treatment for angina?
Enhanced External Counterpulsation were they put what looks like a giant blood pressure cuff on both legs and pump, they do this 1 hour a day for 7 weeks.This promotes the growth of small blood vessels, and lets the heart breath better wereas theirs less pain.

Dana Adams has written: 'Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation--how to do it' -- subject(s): Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation
What is counterpulsation's history?
(it was first introduced in the late 1950s at Harvard), but the computerized technology currently available with EECP makes it a relatively new procedure
