Abstract：Objective To observe the curative effect of external counterpulsation in treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods CHD patients (n=60, male 33, female 27, aged from 46 to 78 and average age=67.4 ±8.4) were chosen from Mar. 2014 to Jun. 2015. All patients were randomly divided into external counterpulsation group treated with external counterpulsation and CHD routine drugs and control group treated with only CHD routine drugs (eachn=30). After 3 therapeutic courses, the curative effect and electrocardiogram (ECG) outcomes were reviewed. ECG and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were detected and attack times of chest pain were recorded before and after treatment.Results There were 17 cases (56.7%) with significant efficacy and 12 (40.0%) with curative effect in external counterpulsation group, and 12 (40%) with significant efficacy and 10 (33.3%) with curative effect in control group. The total effective rate was higher in external counterpulsation group than that in control group (96.7%vs. 73.3%,P<0.01). The total effective rate of ECG outcomes was higher in external counterpulsation group than that in control group (93.3%vs. 70.0%,P<0.01). After treatment, the attack times of chest pain, ST-segment descending latitude and LVEF were improved in 2 groups after treatment (allP<0.05). Compared with control group after treatment, the attack times of chest pain, ST-segment descending latitude and LVEF were improved in external counterpulsation group (allP<0.05).Conclusion The curative effect of external counterpulsation is more significant than that of routine therapy in CHD patients.
