| dc.description.abstract | Heart failure, generally referred to as chronic heart failure (CHF), is synonymous with congestive heart failure; when the heart cannot pump enough blood flow to maintain the body′s needs, it causes a series of physiological symptoms. Invasive treatments include coronary angioplasty, installation of intra-aortic balloon pumps, addition of cardiac pacemakers, coronary bypass surgery, installation of ventricular assist devices and even heart transplantation.
Enhanced External CounterPulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive and safe treatment. After this treatment, it can increase coronary blood flow and promote myocardial metabolism. It can improve ischemic diseases such as heart failure, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction. The purpose of this research is to develop an EECP treatment device system that has no field limitation and can adjust the length of treatment according to individual needs. Both the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommend this treatment as a new course of treatment for patients with heart failure and cardiovascular disease, with significant short-term and long-term improvement in symptoms.
Connect the cardiac guide to obtain the ECG, through the computer and the microprocessor MCU operation, the pressurization and pressure relief signals will trigger the solenoid valve, and the air compressor will quickly and accurately pressurize the pressurized air to the pressure pulse of the lower limbs of the human body In the belt, and the air in the pulse belt is exhausted through the solenoid valve in the same path. During the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle, the lower extremity cuffs will simultaneously apply external pressure (greater than the individual systolic pressure), and apply pressure sequentially from the calf to the thigh to the ideal pressure value. When the aortic valve closes, the blood will be pushed. Enter the coronary artery to increase coronary perfusion; before the systole, the pressure cuff in the lower extremity will quickly exhaust and release the pressure, and the squeezed blood will be returned to the lower extremity. ischemic disease. | en_US |
