Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Cardiovascular Health
Why Cardiovascular Health Matters
Cardiovascular health underpins overall well-being; compromised circulation and heart function can lead to hypertension, ischemia, and increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Optimizing blood flow and vessel health is critical for longevity and quality of life.
Key Benefits of HBOT for Cardiovascular Health
- Improves Microcirculation: Stimulates angiogenesis to enhance capillary density in ischemic tissues.
- Enhances Endothelial Function: Supports nitric oxide production for better vessel dilation and blood pressure control.
- Reduces Ischemic Injury: Increases oxygen delivery to areas of reduced perfusion, aiding recovery after heart events.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Down-regulates systemic inflammation linked to atherosclerosis progression.
- Supports Heart Muscle Repair: Promotes stem cell mobilization and tissue regeneration post-myocardial infarction.
- Helps with Peripheral Vascular Disease: Alleviates symptoms like claudication by improving limb perfusion.
- Enhances Exercise Tolerance: Boosts oxygen availability for improved endurance and reduced cardiac workload.
Treatment Protocols
- Session Duration: 60 – 90 minutes
- Frequency: 3 – 5 sessions per week
- Total Sessions: 20 – 30 treatments, tailored by clinical response
*HBOT for cardiovascular health is considered an off-label use. Treatments should be prescribed and supervised by a qualified hyperbaric medicine physician in conjunction with your cardiology care plan.
