Omelyanenko O. The effectiveness of radon baths and electrical stimulation in the treatment of patients with atherosclerosis of lower limb arteries and arterial hypertension who participated of the Chernobyl accident

The thesis found that all patients with atherosclerosis of the lower extremities with arterial hypertension, the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, the clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower extremities occurred after an average of 10 years or more after the accident on the set background of hypertension, with the presence of the large number and polymorphism complaints of attacks of unconsciousness and vegetative - vascular paroxysms. In 82% of patients of peripheral (in the form of lower linear flow velocities of less than 1 cm / sec, and ankle - brachial index of less than 1.0 units.) and at the same time - the central and intracardiac hemodynamics (mainly in the form of diastolic dysfunction, left ventricular fraction of the stored emission). Chronic progressive course of disease causes the need for repeated gospitalizations (74% of patients - twice a year). Studied the hemodynamic mechanisms of influenceand interaction of radon baths, electrical stimulation of muscles legs sinusoidal modulated currents and infusion of actovegin. It was determined that the use of radon baths and electrical optimization of the leg muscles optimizate the ection of Actovegin: potentiates the effect of the drug on the level of peripheral blood flow, reducing its adverse hemodynamic effects, eliminates the possibility of tachycardia, hypertension (based on grab samples). It is proved that in patients with atherosclerosis of lower limb arteries and arterial hypertension, who participated in the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, application of the developed method improves the course for both diseases, causes no complications, reduced by 12,1% rate of readmission within 3 years of observation, increases the rate of quality of life.
