title: [Hypoxia of high altitudes as a theoretical method of treatment of angina pectoris. Influence on cardiac metabolism].
abstract: The stages of myocardial metabolism under normal conditions and in hypoxia are examined. Reference is made to changes in heart metabolism induced in the experimental animal by hypoxia and to the results of a study of such metabolism in persons living permanently at high altitudes (Moret et al.). Hypoxia in decompression chambers is proposed as a hypothetical means of treating angina, since it is capable of causing changes in myocardial metabolism. Note is taken on the fact that hypobarism is not comparable to other techniques on account of its multiple and complex action; this acts at various levels and primarily influences the cardiovascular apparatus.
