Introduction and Objectives
Goal: to study the hypotensive effect of \"dry\" carbon dioxide baths, which are
by hypoxic adaptation in patients with arterial hypertension.
Materials and Methods
Patients contingent consisted of 60 people with a combination of Arterial Hypertension
II-III degree, and coronary heart disease, angina II-III functional class. All
patients were treated at high and very high risk of developing cardiovascular complications.
Adaptation to hypoxia was performed on a special installation for flow-through
\"dry\" carbon dioxide baths firm \"Reaboks\" (Russia) of 600 l of a standard procedure:
t to 32 ° C, flow rate - 15 l / min, duration - 15 minutes treatment procedures,
15: 5 daily treatments with 2 days of rest.
Results
During the application of hypoxic adaptation of \"dry\" carbonic acid baths, was
marked expressed symptatolitic vazodolitic action to facilitate the implementation
of anti-hypertensive, anti-anginal and anti-arrhythmic effects.
Number of episodes of myocardial ischemia (pain and pain-free) reduced to
62,3% (p
