title: [Laser therapy in the treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease in a therapeutic department].
abstract: Influence of the intravenous (a 30-min exposure) laser therapy with the use of apparatus AFL-2 (8-12 sessions) on patients suffering from the ischemic heart disease of different functional categories has been studied. Blood viscosity and lipoproteins were measured in 48 patients. Positive effect of the treatment was determined from decreased number of daily attacks of angina and reduction of nitro-glycerine tablets uptake by 50% and more ("good"), by 30-50% ("adequate") and less than 30% ("inadequate"). "Good" or "adequate" clinical effects were noted in 91% of the patients. Most probably, the positive effect is linked with improvement in rheologic blood properties.
