Abstract: We explored the ability of increased oxygen pressure to modify necrosis in an open-chest rabbit model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. A branch of the left coronary artery was occluded for 30 minutes followed by 3 hours of reperfusion. Infarction was...

Abstract: The experiment on 90 rabbits and 30 rats has been conducted to compare the effect of different regimes of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) (pressure of oxygen: 3 ata, 2 ata, oxygen-air mixture: 3 ata and 1 ata, respectively) on the morphofunctional state of...

Abstract: To evaluate the potential for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) to produce transient improvement in function in areas of myocardium ischemic at rest (hibernating myocardium), 24 patients were studied within 1 week of acute myocardial infarction. Results were compared...
