New trends in non-pharmacological approaches for cardiovascular disease: Therapeutic ultrasound.

Abstract

Significant advances in application of therapeutic ultrasound have been reported in the past decades. Therapeutic ultrasound is an emerging non-invasive stimulation technique. This approach has shown high potential for treatment of various disease including cardiovascular disease. In this review, application principle and significance of the basic parameters of therapeutic ultrasound are summarized. The effects of therapeutic ultrasound in myocardial ischemia, heart failure, myocarditis, arrhythmias, and hypertension are explored, with key focus on the underlying mechanism. Further, the limitations and challenges of ultrasound therapy on clinical translation are evaluated to promote application of the novel strategy in cardiovascular diseases.
