Abstract: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a systemic disease characterized by chronic atherosclerosis，which may result in coronary artery disease，ischemic stroke，transient ischemic attack and peripheral artery disease，seriously affecting human health. Enhanced external counterpulsation is a safe，noninvasive，and effective assisted circulation technique. We reviewed a series of recent advances in enhanced external counterpulsation for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease，including reducing the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease，clinical use for refractory angina pectoris，ischemic cerebrovascular disease，and atherosclerosis of the lower extremity，and discussed relevant mechanisms of action.

摘要： 动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病以慢性动脉粥样硬化为特征，可导致冠状动脉疾病、缺血性脑卒中、短暂性脑缺血发作及外周动脉疾病等，严重影响了人类健康。增强型体外反搏是一种安全、有效的无创性机械辅助循环方法，本综述将从危险因素、临床应用及机制几个方面探讨增强型体外反搏在动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病防治方面的研究进展。
