[Effect of general carbon dioxide baths and physical exercise on parameters of 24-hour monitoring of EKG and cardiac rhythm variability in postmyocardial infarction patients].

Abstract

Myocardial infarction survivors took general carbon dioxide baths and/or did therapeutic exercises. Compared to controls, all these patients experienced a significantly less number and duration of episodes of ST-segment ischemic depressions detected at 24-h ECG monitoring while significant differences by cardiac rhythm variability before and after the treatment were not registered though the test group showed the trend to normalization of the heart rhythm.
