Abstract

The authors present evidence of the significance and role of the disturbances in platelet hemostasis in pathogenesis of co-morbid cardiac pathology and the absence of the unambiguous opinion as regards the expediency of the application of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) for their correction which implies the necessity of searching for new pathogenetically substantiated approaches to the treatment of the patients presenting with this condition. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of hyperbaric oxygenation on the elastic properties of platelet membrane during spontaneous platelet aggregation in the patients presenting with cardiac co-morbidity. Thrombocyte hemostasis was investigated in 24 patients at the age of 52.9±11.5 years (67% of men, 33% of women) presenting with functional class II angina of effort concomitant with arterial hypertension (AH). All the patients were given, in addition to the conventional treatment of the main diseases, the courses of daily (No. 5) 30-minute sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation in the 1,2ATA regime in the BLKS 301M and 303MK barochambers (Russia). Before and after HBO, spontaneous aggregation of thrombocytes (light agglomeration method) was determined with the use of ...Continue Reading
