Research progress of enhanced external counterpulsation in cardiac rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment that helps to reduce the risk of myocardial ischemia and improve the patients'quality of life.In addition,cardiac rehabilitation can also relieve the patients'negative emotions,help the patients improve self-cognition and emotional regulation ability,and promote the mental health.As an important means of cardiac rehabilitation,external counterpulsation has a positive impact on patients'long-term survival and quality of life by increasing coronary artery perfusion pressure,improving the function of cardiovascular system,and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and the rate of re-hospitalization and other prognostic indicators.This article discusses the research progress of enhanced external counterpulsation in cardiac rehabilitation from several aspects of clinical application and mechanism.
