[Evaluation of the effectiveness of hypotensive therapy in hypertensive crises in older patients at the pre-hospital stage].

Volumetric blood flow of the head and chest was assessed by multichannel impedance plethysmography, and central hemodynamics, by tetrapolar integral rheography, in 110 patients with essential hypertension. The measurements were made during crises and 60 minutes after the onset of hypotensive treatment. It is demonstrated that the assessment of the efficiency of treatment for hypertensive crises should be based on studies of regional circulation, cerebral and central thoracic flow, in particular, as well as the BP fall in patients of advanced age.

[The treatment and prevention of ischemic heart disease in stress states by using laser radiation and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation].

An effectiveness of treatment and prevention of ischemic heart disease (IHD) using laser rays and transcutaneous electroneurostimulation (TENS) in 144 patients who underwent myocardial infarction and in whose clinical characteristics of a disease there prevailed chronic painful syndrome, was studied. An analgesic effect of TENS was achieved by an application of TENS to cardiac area and Zakharin-Head's zones. Low-intensity laser rays were applied for both irradiating projections of the heart and the large vessels and irradiating the biologically active points using unique procedure. All patients had a positive clinical effect resulted from applying laser and TENS which appeared as a decreased number of stenocardia attacks, an increased tolerance to exercise and as positive ECG dynamics. Duration of remission in the main group of patients exceeded the remission length in the control group in 2.7 times which is indicative of the effectiveness of using laser therapy and TENS as a tool of urgent medical aid under stresses induced by the development of life-threatening states. Small-size laser and TENS apparatuses are proposed for use as an onboard medical equipment.
