The use of EHF inductothermia for the treatment of patients presenting with arterial hypertension and concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus

EHF inductorthermia is considered to be one of the methods for non-medicamental control of arterial pressure. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the results of combined non-pharmacological treatment of patients with arterial hypertension and concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus. It included a total of 30 patients (17 men and 13 women) with the diagnosis of grade I-II arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus divided into two groups. Group I was comprised of 15 patients (7 women and 8 men) of the mean age 64.2±3.1 years given basal medicamental hypotensive and antidiabetic therapy. The patients of group 2 (n = 15, 16 women and 9 men, mean age 62.7±2.8 years) received medicamental treatment in combination with application of an EHF magnetic field by the cardial method. The study demonstrated a higher efficiency of the combined treatment compared with the medicamental therapy alone which gives reason to recommend EHF inductothermia for the treatment of patients presenting with arterial hypertension and concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus.
