Abstract

Based on the changes in phase characteristics of blood flow and pressure, enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) reduces cardiac load and improves cerebral perfusion in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. However, increased cerebral blood flow (CBF) is associated with the rise in blood pressure and its complications. Increased EECP frequency is a valuable solution when combined with the electrical equivalent impedance characteristics of the lumped parameter model (LPM) of the human blood circulation system. Herein, to investigate the effect of different EECP frequencies on CBF perfusion, an LPM was established with cardiopulmonary circulation and eight systemic blood flow units with cerebral autoregulation module of ischemic stroke patients. Then, using differential equations, we analyzed those parameters through hemodynamic simulations in four EECP modes. With related influencing parameters remaining constant, we adjusted the pressure frequency of EECP and found that when compared to the traditional sequential EECP mode, the relative increase rate of CBF was 16.68%, 18.95%, and 21.21% from 1 to 3 Hz, respectively. This study validates the effect of improving blood prefusion with increasing EECP frequency through numerical analysis.
