Generally, the sauna bathing has been contraindicated for patients with chronic heart failure. However, it has been well tolerated and improved hemodynamics has been shown in patients with chronic heart failure after a single exposure and after a four-week period of sauna bathing (five days per week). Left ventricular ejection fraction increased from 24+/-7% to 31+/-9% and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension decreased from 66+/-6 mm to 62+/-5 mm after four weeks. In the present review, the mechanisms of action, the clinical data available to date and the possible beneficial effects of sauna bathing for patients with heart failure are discussed, as well as the precautions and the contraindications in this specific group of patients with chronic heart failure.
一般来说,慢性心力衰竭患者一直被视为禁忌进行桑拿浴。然而,慢性心力衰竭患者单次接触桑拿浴后以及经过四周(每周五天)的桑拿浴疗程后,对其耐受性良好且显示出血流动力学改善。四周后,左心室射血分数从24±7%增至31±9%,左心室舒张末期内径从66±6毫米降至62±5毫米。在本综述中,讨论了桑拿浴对心力衰竭患者的作用机制、迄今可得的临床数据以及可能的有益效果,以及这一特定慢性心力衰竭患者群体的注意事项和禁忌情况。
