Insights
Low-intensity infrared laser radiation improved coronary heart disease (CHD) by enhancing microcirculation and heart function. This treatment positively impacts blood lipids, reducing CHD symptoms.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Medical Physics
Background:
- Hypercholesterinemia in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients is linked to impaired microcirculation, increased vascular resistance, reduced heart efficiency, and lower activity tolerance.
- These factors contribute to the progression and manifestation of CHD.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the effects of low-intensity infrared laser radiation on patients with hypercholesterinemia and coronary heart disease.
- To assess the impact of this therapy on microcirculation, cardiac function, and overall activity tolerance.
Main Methods:
- Patients with coronary heart disease and hypercholesterinemia underwent a course of low-intensity infrared laser radiation treatment.
- Physiological parameters including blood lipid spectrum, microcirculation, vascular resistance, heart function, and activity tolerance were monitored before and after treatment.
Main Results:
- Laser radiation treatment led to positive changes in the blood lipid spectrum.
- Improvements were observed in microcirculation, a decrease in total peripheral vascular resistance (afterload), enhanced heart function economy, and increased activity tolerance.
- These changes suggest a regression of CHD manifestations.
Conclusions:
- Low-intensity infrared laser radiation therapy is effective in managing hypercholesterinemia associated with coronary heart disease.
- The hypolipidemic effect of laser radiation plays a significant role in the regression of CHD symptoms.
- This therapeutic approach offers a promising strategy for improving cardiovascular health in CHD patients.
Abstract:
The study demonstrates that hypercholesterinemia in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) is associated with functional depression of microcirculation, increase in total peripheral vascular resistance, reduction in the functional efficiency of heart and decrease in activity tolerance. After receiving a course of low-intensity infrared laser radiation treatment the patients displayed positive changes in blood lipid spectrum, which was associated with improvement in microcirculation, decrease in afterload, increase in economization of heart functioning and activity tolerance. The obtained results demonstrate that the hypolipidemic effect of laser radiation is a substantial factor in the regression of CHD manifestations.
