External counterpulsation is a non-invasive, safe and effective method for the treatment of ischemic diseases. Its principle is to take the R wave of the human body's ECG as the trigger signal. During the diastole of the heart, the air bag at the far end of the limb inflates successively to the air bag at the near end, compressing the limb, forcing the blood of the limb and hip artery to flow back to the aorta, so as to increase the pressure and blood flow of the aorta, thereby increasing the blood flow perfusion of important organs such as the heart, brain and kidney; Before the cardiac systole, the air bag rapidly exhausts, the compressed limb blood vessels suddenly relax, and the peripheral resistance drops sharply, which is conducive to the rapid flow of blood from the ventricle into the limb arteries through the aorta. In order to achieve the purpose of treatment, the repeated work of inflation and exhaust according to the cardiac cycle is carried out.
