Abstract

Since its inception as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the 1980s, the landscape of medical treatment has been revolutionized by the evolution of shock wave therapy. Over four decades, this therapy, now known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), has emerged as a cornerstone in modern medicine, redefining treatment paradigms across various medical disciplines. Certainly, despite the promising outcomes witnessed in various medical conditions such as musculoskeletal disorders, wound healing, urinary calculi, and erectile dysfunction,
it is crucial to acknowledge that shock wave therapy’s relatively short clinical tenure necessitates a cautious approach. While its effectiveness has been repeatedly demonstrated, establishing industry-standard protocols through large-scale, prospective randomized controlled trials remains imperative to solidify its standing in medical practice.
The integration of Artificial Intelligence technology holds significant promise for the future of shockwave medicine, enabling personalized treatment plans, real-time feedback, and improved cost-effectiveness.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, placing a huge burden on patients and healthcare systems. Cardiac shock wave (CSW) technology is a non-invasive treatment method. In recent years, some scholars have discovered that extracorporeal shock wave can improve cardiovascular ischemic lesions. This article reviews the latest progress in basic research and clinical application of cardiac shock wave technology in cardiovascular medicine and reviews its efficacy and potential mechanisms in different diseases. First, the principle of shock waves and their application potential in cardiovascular medicine are introduced. Then, from the aspects of basic research and clinical application, the mechanism and clinical efficacy of shock waves in cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, atrial fibrillation, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery calcification are discussed, as well as its advantages and limitations. Animal experiments and clinical studies have found that low-energy extracorporeal shock waves can upregulate the expression of vascular endothelial
growth factors, promote angiogenesis, promote nitric oxide production, increase local blood perfusion, significantly reduce angina symptoms, and improve left ventricular function and remodeling. Finally, the future development trend of shock wave technology is prospected. This review provides an introduction to the properties, biomechanical effects, treatment mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases, research status and development prospects of extracorporeal shock waves.

Abstract

There are three types of focused shock wave generators: electrohydraulic, electromagnetic and piezoelectric. Although it has been postulated that there are no differences in clinical efficacy between the three, the information available on the results of the use of piezoelectric generators to treat musculoskeletal disorders is very limited.
The objective of this publication is to demonstrate the little existing evidence on piezoelectric generators and to highlight their versatility and promising future.
