Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers studied blood enzyme activity and heart rhythm changes in 24 men with ischaemic heart disease before and after 10 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

What They Found

The study found a strong link between the total peroxidase activity in the blood and changes in heart rhythm, as measured by the tension index. This was observed in 24 men, with an average age of 51, who received 10 HBOT sessions at 1.5-1.7 ATA for 60 minutes each.

Canadian Relevance

No direct Canadian connection identified.

Study Limitations

This study was small, conducted many years ago, and only identified a correlation between markers, not a direct treatment effect on heart disease outcomes.
