Abstract
Objective:To observe the clinical curative effect of enhanced external counterpulsation(EECP) in the patients with chronic heart failure.Method:120 patients with chronic heart failure were randomly divided into control group and treatment group,60 cases in each group.Besides the basis of control group the treatment group received EECP,two groups were followed up for 3 years.The 6 min walking test,left ventricular systolic function (LVEF),N terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP), rate of hospitalization and mortality in two groups were evaluated.Result:Compared with before treatment,6 min walking experiments improved in both groups,the treatment group improved more significantly,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Control group had no obvious raise in LVEF value, while the treatment group increased significantly,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The decrease of NT-proBNP value in treatment group was more significant than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The cardiovascular events, rate of hospitalization and fatality of two groups had no significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion:EECP improves the LVEF value and relieves the exercise tolerance in patients with chronic heart failure,reduce the probability of readmission on heart attacks,then improves the patients’ quality of life.It is safe and effective, worthy of popularizing and applying.关键词
