Electrostimulation of Muscles as a Method for the Treatment and Prophylaxis of Hemodynamic Disturbances During Prolonged Hypokinesia

摘要

Hemodynamic and periopheral circulation indexes were recorded before, at the end of, and 5 days after 10 days of electrostimulation for 45 min daily, at rest and after a physical loading test. It was found that stroke and minute volume, cardiac output, and regional circulation improved and heart rate and peripheral resistance decreased. The functional state of the cardiac muscle and vascular tone are improved by electrostimulation of selected groups of skeletal muscles.
