Pneumatic Sleeves and Congestive Heart Failure (Sleeves-Bickel)

September 19, 2012 updated by: Western Galilee Hospital-Nahariya

The Impact of Intermittent Sequential Pneumatic Compression (ISPC) Leg Sleeves on Cardiac Performance in Patients With Congestive Heart Failure

Based on the reversal of the adverse cardiovascular parameters during Laproscopic Surgery and its influence on cardiac activity in healthy subjects, the investigators expect to improved cardiac function in patients suffering from congestive heart failure.
