[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the extrasystole in ischemic heart disease patients].
A study of the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), applied as single sessions or a treatment course, on cardiac rhythm in 82 coronary patients with chronic extrasystole demonstrated positive therapeutic effect to be achieved after the first 5 or 6 HBO sessions in all patients. Further treatment may provoke an aggravation of arrhythmia in some patients. Positive antiarrhythmic effect of a complete HBO course is doubtful, where ectopic activity is increased following the 7th session. There is a correlation between the results of ECG monitoring from the hyperbaric chamber, from session 7 onwards, and 24-hour ECG recording before and after a HBO course. As shown by 24-hour ECG monitoring, positive effect was obtained in 67% of patients with ventricular extrasystole, the number of ventricular extrasystoles remained basically unchanged after a HBO course in 17%, and ectopic activity increased in 15.4%.
