RESUMEN
Patients with essential hypertension were exposed to periodic hypoxia in a pressure chamber. It is shown that adaptation to periodic hypoxia results in improvement of general condition of patients who exhibited a decline in blood pressure, minute blood volume, serum sodium concentrations as well as better microcirculation and tissue oxygen tension. Reduced concentrations of total serum cholesterol and atherogenic index were achieved in hypercholesterolemia patients. The changes obtained permitted reduction of hypotensive maintenance treatment. In view of positive results in hypertensive subjects, adaptation to periodic hypoxia in a pressure chamber is recommended for inclusion into combined regimens of hypertension therapy.

The conjunctival biomicroscopy has been used to study the microcirculation in the bulbar conjunctiva of 88 patients with cardiac insufficiency, 67 of them had its refractory form. The changes found in the microcirculation bed in the refractory and nonrefractory forms of cardiac insufficiency differed as to the extent and a significantly greater expression in the refractory form of cardiac insufficiency.
