Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of External CounterPulsation on postoperative heart function and vein graft failure rates of coronary artery bypass grafting patients.

Conditions

  • Counterpulsation
  • Coronary Artery Bypass

Interventions

DEVICE

External Counterpulsation

ECP is a non-invasive method which consists of three sets of pneumatic cuffs attached to each of the patient's legs at the calf and lower and upper thigh. The inflation of the cuffs is triggered by a computer, and timing of the inflation is based on the R wave of the electrocardiogram. The ECP therapist adjusts the inflation and deflation timing to provide optimal blood movement per a finger plethysmogram waveform reading. This produces a retrograde flow of blood in the aorta resulting in a diastolic augmentation of blood flow and also an increase in venous return, which leads to an improved coronary perfusion pressure during diastole.
