Despite being a hearttransplantation candidate, she declined revascularization and sought alternative treatments for angina, dyspnea, and daily activity limitations. Not only did EECP improve the patient's angina and functional status, but it also enhanced her cardiacfunction.
Case presentation A 43-year-old man with a body mass index of 41 kg/m 2 was admitted to our hospital for acute heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. The patient required prolonged catecholamine support owing to poor cardiacfunction, and hearttransplantation was considered.
The study also includes a registry for advanced heart failure patients who are end stage and not considered to be surgical candidates for a hearttransplant or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant due to excessive fluid retention and poor kidney function.
