Trial finds hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy improves heart function in Long-COVID patients
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may help restore normal heart function in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome, a small trial has found.
Participants in the hyperbaric oxygen therapy group had significantly increased global longitudinal strain (GLS), a measure of cardiac function. The study was presented at EACVI 2023, the scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
Study author Professor Marina Leitman, Thackeray Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, said, “This study shows that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is beneficial in Long-COVID patients, and we used a sensitive measure of cardiac function, which is not available in all centres. Performed routinely. More research is needed to determine which patients will benefit most, but probably all Long-COVID patients should be assessed for global longitudinal strain, and if cardiac function is reduced, hyperbaric oxygen therapy should be offered.” (Source: cnBeta)
