Popis: Aim. To assess the effects of enhanced external counter-pulsation (EECP) on left ventricular (LV) myocardial perfusion.Material and methods. In total, 26 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), stable angina, Functional Class (FC) I-IV, were treated with EECP. Treatment course included 35 one-hour procedures. At baseline and after EECP treatment, all patients underwent 99m-Tc-MIBI scintigraphy (single photon emission computed tomography, SPECT) at rest and during stress test.Results. After EECP treatment, perfusion defect severity assessed by SPECT at rest had significantly reduced (p0,05); pre- and post-EECP perfusion defect severity - 347,3±282,8 and 310±266,0 std, respectively (p
