The effectiveness of EECP,a noninvasive outpatient treatment for angina pectoris,is described in this series of case reports from a community hospital.In a diverse patient population,EECP appears to provide significant relief of angina pectoris even in cases when CAD is fairly advanced and when other revascularization procedures have failed.The procedure appears most effective when at least one patent conduit,either graft or native coronary artery),can provide sufficient coronary flow to ischemic areas of myocardium.The benefits appear to be sustained over time.
