[Use of nitrogen baths and exercise in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease complicated by arrhythmia].

Abstract

The study was made of 111 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who had stable angina pectoris of functional class I and II, extracyctoles. They received artificial nitric baths (n = 44, group 1), artificial nitric baths plus bicycle exercise (n = 37, group 2), fresh water baths (n = 30, group 3). As shown by the results of spiroveloergometry and Holter ECG monitoring, patients of group 1 and 2 benefited more. The average number of ventricular and supraventricular extracyctoles reduced daily by 30.4-36.4 and 59.9-64.2% in group 1 and 2, respectively.
