Abstract:
Enhanced External Counterpulsation(EECP)is a non-invasive auxiliary circulation technique that enhances blood perfusion to vital organs such as the heart and brain by elevating diastolic blood pressure in the aorta.It has demonstrated substantial effectiveness in treating ischemic heart disease.However,the application of EECP in ischemic cerebrovascular disease is not widely used both domestically and internationally.Its,indications,influencing factors,and operational procedures lack standardization.Therefore,this expert taskforce comprehensively reviewed relevant literature and combined clinical experience to summarize and propose recommendations for EECP in treating ischemic cerebrovascular disease.This document outlines the working principles,biological effects,and impact of EECP on cerebral blood flow autoregulation.It also proposes indications,influencing factors,treatment protocols,and monitoring indicators for EECP in ischemic cerebrovascular disease,advocating for the establishment of EECP centers with neurological specialties and conducting clinical trials to explore the efficacy and safety of EECP in treating ischemic cerebrovascular disease,thereby expanding its clinical applications.
