Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers investigated how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), given in single sessions or a full course, affected heart rhythm in 82 patients with coronary artery disease and chronic irregular heartbeats.

What They Found

All patients showed a positive effect on their irregular heartbeats after the first 5 or 6 HBOT sessions. However, a full course of HBOT showed mixed results: 24-hour ECG monitoring revealed a positive effect in 67% of patients with ventricular extrasystoles, while 17% saw no change, and 15.4% experienced an increase in ectopic activity.

Canadian Relevance

No direct Canadian connection identified.

Study Limitations

This study is quite old (1986) and lacks specific details about the hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocols used, which limits its current applicability.
