Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers studied how hyperbaric oxygen therapy affected heart function and blood flow in 24 patients with long-term leg ischaemia before surgery.

What They Found

The study found that 67% of patients experienced improved heart function and central blood flow after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. However, 29% showed worsening heart patterns and unfavorable changes in central blood flow, emphasizing the need for continuous heart monitoring during treatment.

Canadian Relevance
