[Nitroglycerin electrophoresis in the treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease]

105 patients with coronary heart disease and functionally varying angina pectoris received in sanatoria or inpatiently segmental nitroglycerin electrophoresis. The microcirculatory bed was studied with bulbar biomicroscopy in comparison with clinical effects. There appeared a relationship between improvements in microcirculation and clinical symptoms. The course of 10-15 procedures at maximum strength of current 0.03 mA/cm2 proved effective in 78% and 95% of inpatients and sanatorium patients, respectively.
