Brief Summary

External Counterpulsation Therapy (ECP) is a therapeutic procedure that performed on patients with angina or heart failure to relieve the ischaemic symptoms, improve functional capacity, and quality of life. In recent studies, ECP has already proved to reduce angina symptoms, decrease degree of ischemic in heart train test. External Counterpulsation Therapy (ECP) therapy is a non-invasive technique for sequentially pressuring calf, lower thighs, and upper thighs through developed cuffs at pressure above systolic blood pressure when diastole, then deflated at systole.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Angiopoietin I concentration

    hemodynamic effect on coronary perfusion. angiopoietin I involve in angiogenesis process. this study aims to investigate effects of External counterpulsation for refractory angina patients. it hypothesized to increase collateral artery which mechanism is by increasing angiogenesis process, measured with increase of Angiopoietin I and decrease of Angiopoietin II. Angiopoietin I level will be measured using ELISA technique.

    7 weeks

  • MiRNA 92a concentration

    microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA\*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. inhibition of MiRNA 92a prevents endothelial dysfunction.
