[Effect of superhigh frequency electromagnetic fields and physical exercise on physical performance and extrasystole in myocardial ischemia patients with stable angina pectoris].
OBJECTIVE
To study impact of UHF electromagnetic fields in combination with bicycle exercise on muscular performance (MP) and extrasystole (ES) in IHD patients with stable angina of functional class 1 and 2 (SA).


METHODS
The trial included 112 IHD patients with SA and ES. 36 of them were exposed to coursed electromagnetic fields (40 W, on heart area). The other 42 patients received the same treatment and exercised on bicycle ergometer. 34 patients received placebo procedures and did therapeutic exercises. The effect was assessed with spiroveloergometry and ECG Holter ambulatory monitoring.


RESULTS
It was found that 40 W UHF electromagnetic fields in combination with exercise on veloergometer exert a training effect in IHD patients with extrasystole manifesting with higher physical performance and coronary heart reserve. The antiarrhythmic effect consisted in a significant daily fall in mean ventricular ES number by 48.2%, supraventricular EX by 54.8%.


CONCLUSIONS
Combined application of 40 W UHF electromagnetic fields on heart area with bicycle exercise is effective in IHD patients with ES.
