A 57-year-old woman suffering from severe Prinzmetal's angina was treated with a 7-week course of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). After completing EECP the angina intensity was reduced from CCS class IV to class I, quality of life was increased and medication was significantly reduced. The number of hospitalisations due to chest pain was reduced from 81 in the two years before EECP to 2 in the two years after EECP. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating the effect of EECP on Printzmetal's angina.
一名57岁患有严重变异型心绞痛的女性接受了为期7周的增强型体外反搏（EECP）治疗。完成EECP治疗后，心绞痛强度从加拿大心血管学会（CCS）分级IV级降至I级，生活质量提高，药物用量显著减少。因胸痛住院的次数从EECP治疗前两年的81次减少至EECP治疗后两年的2次。据我们所知，这是首份证明EECP对变异型心绞痛疗效的报告。
