Abstract:

We have studied the influence of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) applied in the combination with gaseous carbon dioxide baths and infrared laser therapy on the dynamics of clinical and functional abnormalities in the patients presenting with coronary heart disease (CHD) including those after surgical myocardial revascularization. The study was conducted on 40 patients of whom 20 suffered from chronic coronary heart disease and FC II-III angina of effort and the remaining 20 ones presented with coronary artery disease following myocardial revascularization (including 5 patients six months after coronary bypass grafting (CBG) and 15 ones three months after translumbar angioplasty (TLAP) in the combination with stenting of the coronary arteries). The study demonstrated that EECP in the combination with gaseous carbon dioxide baths and infrared laser therapy produced anti-ischemic and antianginal effects, stimulated myocardial contractility, contributed to economization of the cardiac activity, increased exercise tolerance, myocardial and coronary reserves. These changes resulted in the improvement of both the psychological status and the quality of life of the patients.
