Hello,
This is from a description of a coronary care unit at a pretigious hospital. Counter pulsation and counterpulsation only get 6-7 g-hits - does anyone know if it's still the correct term, or if not, how to translate it? Also, they make it sound like a device and not a technique ("une" contrepulsion). Thanks in advance for your insights!

: counterpulsation - safest since we don't know whether it's an external or intra-aortic device
