[The use of laser puncture for managing hypertensive crises]
Insights
Laser puncture and pointed massage effectively control hypertensive crises by lowering arterial pressure through reduced peripheral resistance. This treatment showed greater efficacy in patients with moderate left ventricular hypertrophy.

Abstract:
The authors report efficacy of using laser puncture and pointed massage in controlling hypertensive crises in patients suffering of hypertensive disease. The arterial pressure was reduced mainly due to decrease of the peripheral resistance. This method of treatment was more effective in patients with moderate and significant hypertrophy of the left ventricle as compared with patients showing marked hypertrophy of the left ventricle.
