The sinocarotid zone (SCZ) of 127 patients with essential hypertension (EH) stage I and II was exposed to electromagnetic millimetric and nanometric waves. Differentiated indications for laser and short-wave-frequency therapy on SCZ in EH have been formulated basing on the postexposure changes in blood pressure, main complaints, central and cerebral hemodynamics, lipid metabolism, blood coagulation.

It is suggested that there exists not only resonance but also interference interaction between laser radiation, millimetric electromagnetic radiation and dissipative systems. A noticeable role here is played by opiate receptors and their ligands determining cytoprotective, stress-limiting, immunomodulating and other effects of EHF therapy.
