[Laser acupuncture in the complex treatment of stenocardia]. / Lazeropunktura v kompleksnoi terapii stenokardii.

Acupuncture points were exposed to helium-neon laser beam in 200 anginal patients. This therapeutic modality yielded good results: the number of attacks and nitroglycerin intake reduced, exercise tolerance grew, echocardiographic evidence showed a positive trend, hemodynamics improved, Spilberger's test values changed for the better.

[Change in central hemodynamics and systolic phase structure as affected by reflexotherapy in patients with neurocirculatory dystonia]. / Izmenenie tsentral'noi gemodinamiki i fazovoi struktury sistoly pod vliianiem refleksoterapii u bol'nykh neirotsirkuliatornoi distoniei.

Myocardial contractility was examined, using echo- and polycardiography, in patients with neurocirculatory dystonia. An increase was demonstrated in the duration of the phase of isometric tension, mechanical systole and cardiac index in the presence of raised peripheral resistance as well as increased energy spending and enhanced left-ventricular contraction. Auriculo-paravertebral method of reflexotherapy was applied, and the changed parameters returned to normal.
