At present, the treatment options for ischemic heart failure (IHF) are limited. This article mainly aims to explore the evidence of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) as a non-invasive cardiac rehabilitation method in patients with IHF and to make a preliminary exploration of its mechanisms.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Recent Findings<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>According to the existing evidence, the standard course of EECP is safe in patients with IHF and can significantly improve the quality of life of these patients. The effect of EECP on systolic function is still unclear, while EECP has a significant improvement effect on cardiac diastolic function. At the same time, this treatment can reduce the re-hospitalization rate and emergency visit rate of patients within 6\u00a0months. In terms of mechanisms, in addition to the immediate hemodynamic effect, existing evidence mostly suggests that its improvement of cardiac function may come from its upregulation of shear stress to improve myocardial perfusion.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>EECP is safe to use in patients with stable ischemic heart failure, and it can improve the performance status of patients and may be beneficial to cardiac function and reduce the short-term re-hospitalization rate.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11886-023-01943-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]],"date-time":"2023-08-29T07:02:07Z","timestamp":1693292527000},"page":"1291-1298","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["The Effect of EECP on Ischemic Heart Failure: a Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Ling","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9300-2512","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"1943_CR1","unstructured":"Chinese College of Cardiovascular Physicians, Chinese Heart Failure Center Alliance.
