The effects of enhanced external counter-pulsation on post-acute sequelae of COVID-19: A narrative review by Huang Jiecheng, Fan Yuxuan, Wang Yongshun, Liu Jingjin

“…The potential treatment approach of EECP, involving sequenced inflation and deflation of specifically-placed airbags, has become of increasing interest, as it has been found to alleviate PASC-associated anxiety by improving patient cardiovascular function. These functional improvements were achieved by EECP stimulating anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic processes, as well as improving endothelial cell function and coronary blood flow, partially via counteracting against the negative effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. …”
