Abstract

Background: Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) non-invasively improves quality of life and functional capacity in ischemic cardiomyopathy patients (pts). Whether completion of a 30hour course of EECP has durable benefits in decreasing heart failure (HF) decompensation and MACE in ischemic HF pts is unknown. Methods: The IEPR2 is a prospective, sequential registry of 3,000 EECP treated pts. EECP dropouts, when immediate treatment events are excluded, provide a comparator group of durable effects.
