Enhanced External Counterpulsation Waveform Interpretation and Clinical Application

Book excerpt: Dr. S. Ramasamy has 20 years of experience in the field of non-invasive cardiology as a researcher, academic speaker, clinical trainer, and treatment provider—this has a tremendous impact on the uniqueness of this book. The book seamlessly provides golden rules for EECP waveform adjustments. Internationally, one of the significant issues in EECP treatment implementation is a definitive lacuna in training cardiologists, general physicians, clinical experts, and nurse practitioners in the clinical application of EECP. This book addresses these issues by being a great training companion and serves as a teaching tool for beginners as well as those who want to advance their knowledge in EECP treatment. It contains beautiful color illustrations and flowcharts to make complex principles easy to understand. The author has given more attention by placing actual waveforms obtained during treatment to reinforce the practical problems encountered during EECP and how to correct it. The case-based approach followed in the book will help the readers to understand as well as learn quickly and effortlessly. Overall, it is a book every practicing physician and EECP provider should have with them as a one-point reference guide.
