What is the impact of Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) on Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina class in patients with chronic stable angina?
A meta-analysis of studies conducted by Shah et al. (2010) found that Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) was associated with improved Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina class in patients with chronic stable angina. Specifically, the overall odds ratio for improved CCS angina class was 2.41 (95% confidence interval of 1.19 to 4.86; p=0.016), indicating a significant benefit for EECP compared to control conditions.
