[Laser irradiation in the treatment of ischemic heart disease].
Cardiodynamic changes due to beta-blocker carvedilol and low-intensity infrared laser radiation were compared in 115 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The comparison has shown a similar positive effect on heart contractility and diastolic function. This gave arguments for feasibility of laser beam usage as a neurohormonal modulator in IHD patients to reduce cardiac remodulation and prevent cardiac failure.
