We study the hemodynamic effects of pressotherapy in 11 patients (mean age : 68 +/- 10 years) with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction (n = 6) or with chronic ischemic heart failure (n = 5). We measure the right auricular pressure (RAP), the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) and the pulmonary wedge pressure (PWP), before, during pressotherapy (MPAP) and the pulmonary wedge pressure (PWP), before, during pressotherapy (T 20 min) and 30 minutes after the end of pressotherapy (T 30 min). We use five-chambered leg garments with 80 mm Hg pressure during 20 minutes. The wavelike action (from the bottom to the top) is intermittent: the compression time is 10 second (sec); compression is maintained during 60 sec; deflation time is 15 sec. After 20 minutes pressotherapy (t 20) the 3 variables increase: RAP: from 3.6 +/- 5 to 7 +/- 7 mm Hg (P less than 0.001), MPAP: from 25 +/- 14 to 29 +/- 17 mm Hg (p less than 0.01) and the PWP from 10 +/- 8 to 17 +/- 11 Hg (p less than 0.01). This rise is particularly important in heart failure patients: from 18 +/- 8 to 29 +/- 8 mm Hg for the PWP, with cough in one patient. At T 30 these 3 variables decrease and return nearly to initial values: respectively 2.7 +/- 4.7 (RAP), 24 +/- 14 (MPAP), 12 +/- 8 mm Hg (PWP). In conclusion pressotherapy increases RAP and pulmonary pressures.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
