Hemodynamic effects of external local counterpulsation
In this paper we studied the influence of the method of local external counterpulsation on the basic parameters of central hemodynamics and architectonics of the heart muscle in patients with coronary heart disease, angina pectoris. It is established that the use of local external counterpulsation has a hypotensive effect, while there is a decrease in systolic blood pressure by 20% and diastolic - by 19.5%. Ankle-brachial index in the application of a local external counterpulsation increased as from baseline by 8.7%. Ejection fraction after a course of local external counterpulsation increases by 13%.
