EECP therapy to protect heart after surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-invasive treatment called EECP (which uses leg cuffs to improve blood flow) can reduce harmful inflammation and help organs recover after heart surgery. It may benefit patients with heart conditions like angina, heart attack, or heart failure who are about to undergo surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a simple arm blood pressure cuff technique (RIPC) given before heart surgery can reduce inflammation and protect your organs. It is for people at high risk of organ problems during or after surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This trial studies whether ECP (a non-surgical treatment that improves blood flow to the heart) can reduce symptoms in people with stable angina who may need or are waiting for heart bypass surgery, or are being managed with medicines instead. It may help you feel better and need less urgent care—if you meet the study’s medical and personal requirements.
This trial tests a treatment called enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP)—a noninvasive therapy that uses leg cuffs to improve blood flow—in people who have had a mitral valve repair procedure (TEER). It may help reduce the strain on your heart after the repair.
This study tests whether a non‑invasive treatment called enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) can help reduce stiffness in the arteries of people on chronic hemodialysis. It may improve heart health and make dialysis more effective.
This trial tests if unloading the heart during ECMO support helps patients recover better from cardiogenic shock. It compares different ways to reduce the heart's workload.
This study looks at whether EECP (a non-surgical therapy that helps blood flow) improves outcomes in people who recently had their first ischemic stroke and have a narrowed or blocked artery. It also aims to predict who may benefit most based on health data.
