[Effects of low-intensity laser irradiation on the functional activity of leukocytes and blood antioxidant system in acute myocardial infarction].

: Activation of lipid peroxidation and inadequate antioxidant activity essentially contribute to the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction, this fact dictating the necessity of correcting these processes. High efficacy of of He-Ne laser therapy was demonstrated in the treatment of 92 patients with myocardial infarction in the acute and subacute periods. This treatment modality corrected lipid peroxidation parameters, which fact manifested by reduction of leukocytic functional activity and elevation of blood plasma antioxidant characteristics.
