The effect of ultraviolet irradiation of the blood on lung-heart hemodynamics in patients with ischemic heart disease and concomitant chronic obstructive bronchitis

Quantum therapy was conducted in 29 patients with functional class II-III exertional angina concurrent with a first to second degree obstructive bronchitis presenting with respiratory failure. The control group was formed of 20 patients matched by illness, sex, and age, who received basic therapy. The clinical course of IHD has been shown to be improved, the concomitant pathology alleviated by the therapies applied; there was an improvement in intracardiac and regional pulmonary hemodynamics.
