Abstract

From experience in the use of the hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in 31 patients and study of the ECG and central hemodynamic parameters by integral rheography the authors came to the conclusion that HBO reduces the number and duration of the paroxysms and that long-term remissions occur. HBO also reduces the number of extrasystoles, but the effect is of a short duration. During the paroxysms the HBO session promotes the change from the tachysystolic form of atrial fibrillation to the normosystolic form. A course of HBO therapy exerts a long-term normalizing effect on hemodynamics in myocardial hypodynamia.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
