Figure 4 Effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) treatment on indices of estimated myocardial oxygen demand. EECP caused a decrease in tension-time index (TTI) from 23 ± 5.1 x 102 units to 19 ± 3.9 x 102 units (p < 0.001) and a decrease in wasted LV energy from 56 ± 16 x 102 dyne-s-cm2 to 36 ± 13 x 102 dyne-s-cm2 (p < 0.001).
