Adaptation to Dosed Hypoxia-Hyperoxia as a Factor in the Improvement of Quality of Life for Elderly Patients with Cardiac Pathology

详细

The effectiveness and safety of technology based on the principles of adaptive medicine—the interval hypoxic–hyperoxic training (IHHT) method—was studied in order to substantiate new approaches to maintain the quality of life of elderly patients with cardiac pathology. It has been proven that the use of IHHT technology for elderly people with chronic coronary artery disease in the prescribed regime leads to a substantial increase in the subjective perception of the quality of life and psycho-emotional status and a decrease in the number of attacks of angina pectoris. This was accompanied by an increase in the level of physical working capacity, exercise tolerance, and normalization of the lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Treatments involving interval hypoxic-hyperoxic training are well tolerated and do not cause side effects; they can be used for the complex rehabilitation of elderly patients with cardiac and comorbid pathology in the development of optimal individualized regimens.
