What Researchers Did
Researchers studied electrocardiographic and polycardiographic changes in 50 patients with diabetes mellitus, who received conventional therapy combined with hyperbaric oxygenation.
What They Found
In 50 patients with diabetes mellitus, researchers observed electrocardiographic and polycardiographic signs characteristic of right heart overload, including dilatation of the right heart chambers. Following treatment with conventional therapy and hyperbaric oxygenation, patients achieved diabetes compensation and showed a tendency towards regression of these cardiac changes.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it was conducted in 1980 and published in a Russian journal.
Study Limitations
Limitations include the small sample size of 50 patients, the lack of a control group, and the study's age, which may affect its current relevance.
