Abstract
A heart failure treatment method includes administering external counterpulsation therapy sessions to a subject from about 10 to about 80 days. Each counterpulsation therapy session is preferably from about 20 to about 90 minutes. Administering external counterpulsation therapy includes providing pressure devices adapted to be received about the lower extremities of the subject, interconnecting a source of compressed fluid with the pressure devices, interconnecting a fluid distribution assembly with the pressure devices and the source of compressed fluid, distributing compressed fluid from the source of compressed fluid to the pressure devices, providing a controller in communication with the fluid distribution assembly, and inflating and deflating the pressure devices using the controller so as to minimize end diastolic pressure.
