RESUMEN
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect and prognosis of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP)on acute cerebral ischemic stroke,to provide clinical evidence for the treatment of patients with acute cerebral ischemic stroke.Methods Total171 patients with acute cerebral ischemic stroke were enrolled and measured the NIHSS and mRS,before EECP,after36 hours EECP,and 3-month after attack.Then contrast the difference of these indicators.Result Compare with the control group,after EECP treatment and after 3-month attack,the scores of NIHSS were statistically significant,(after EECP:44.1％ vs 31.5％;after 3-month attack:55.6％ vs 40.5％),(P＜ 0.05).Compare with the control group,after 3-month attack,the score of mRS in EECP group was declined statistically significant,and the rate of favourable prognosis rise obviously (P＜0.05).Conclusion EECP can effectively improve neurological function and promote health and improve prognosis in the patients with acute cerebral ischemic stroke.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the curative effect and nursing of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on patients with ischemic cerebral apoplexy. Methods In September 2013 to March 2013 in Shenzhen Futian District People′s Hospital neurology hospital, toally 286 patients with ischemic cerebral apoplexy were randomly divided into two groups, control group and treatment group with 143 cases in each group. The control group used conventional treatment and the treatment group used EECP. The score of clinical nerve function and defect improved Barthel index were compared. Result The score of clinical nerve function defect and improved Barthel index of the treatment group before the treatment were without difference (all P>0.05). The score of clinical nerve function defect and improved Barthel index of the treatment group were less than those of control group after the treatment (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Ischemic stroke patients with positive EECP can significantly increase clinical neural function and life ability , improve patient′s quality of life.
RESUMEN
Objectives To examine the effects of enhanced external counterpulsation on arterial elasticity in stroke patients to provide clinical evidence for secondary prevention of patients with cerebral ischemic stroke. Methods Total 192 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled and then divided into the EECP (n=107) and control (n=85) group. Auto-matic measurement synchronous atherosclerosis detector was use to measure brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (BaP-WV) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). The difference of BaPWV and CAVI were evaluated before, at 36 hours and one month after EECP. Results The BaPWV and CAVI significantly decreased at 36 hours and 1 month after treat-ment in EECP groups compared to either pre-therapy or control groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions EECP can signifi-cantly reduce the BaPWV and CAVI and improve the arterial elasticity in patients with cerebral ischemic stroke. Thus, arterial elasticity may be an important index to evaluate the effects of EECP on cerebral ischemic stroke.
