[Optimization of the effects of physical and health resort factors in ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension].

The authors presented and discussed the results of the use of the natural and instrumental physical methods for therapy, prevention and rehabilitation of 280 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and 300 patients with arterial hypertension (AH). The efficacy of the optimized use of a number of physical factors (precardial and segmental massage, low frequency magnetic field) was shown in the CHD and AH patients by the short- and long-term follow-up results. The authors substantiated the appropriateness of expanding the concept "nonpharmacological" methods proceeding from its practical meaning at the present-day stage of CHD and AH control.
