Scientific titleTo determine the kidney function by using serum cystatin C in patients before and after enhanced external counterpulsation treatment
Study objectivesEnhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is based on the principle of diastolic augmentation to increase coronary flow while simultaneously decreasing systolic afterload. We proposed that EECP treatment could improve cardiac function, therefore might improve kidney function. The aim of the trial is to see whether EECP treatment can slow the progression of kidney disease in patients with ischemic heart disease and congestive heart failure.
Ethics approval(s)Institutional Review Board of Piyavate Hospital, approved on 25/10/2006 (ref: 006/2006)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedIschaemic heart disease, chronic stable angina, chronic stable heart failure
InterventionAll patients will receive EECP typically involving 35 x 1-h sessions of counterpulsations over a 7-week period.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureSerum cystatin C

All primary and secondary outcome measures will be assessed before and within 1 month, and 5-7 months after completion of EECP treatment of 35 sessions.
Secondary outcome measures1. Calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
2. Serum N-Terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP)
3. Ejection fraction determined by echocardiography

All primary and secondary outcome measures will be assessed before and within 1 month, and 5-7 months after completion of EECP treatment of 35 sessions.
