[The problem of scars in heart surgery with special reference to the use of static magnetic fields].
An attempt is made to survey the pathophysiology of wound healing, as well as the aetiological factors involved and the possibilities of therapeutic intervention to prevent the formation of hypertrophic scars and keloid after cardiac operations. Several prophylactic measures are discussed, with special reference to the use of static magnetic fields. Their application to scars after cardiac operations was carried out by energy pak foils. Patients treated with these foils showed slightly improved results as compared with a control group. The results, however, were not statistically significant.
