HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE & HYPERBARICS
HBOT might indirectly support cardiovascular health and potentially help manage hypertension by improving blood circulation, enhancing myocardial function, and promoting vascular health.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE & HYPERBARICS
While Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) generally aims to increase oxygen saturation in the blood and tissues, its direct impact on lowering high blood pressure (hypertension) is not a primary or direct mechanism of action, and studies show mixed results. However, HBOT might indirectly support cardiovascular health and potentially help manage hypertension by improving blood circulation, enhancing myocardial function, and promoting vascular health.
HOW HBOT CAN HELP
Mixed Results:
Some studies suggest that HBOT can lead to an increase in blood pressure, especially in individuals with hypertension, while others show a potential for lowering blood pressure.
Indirect Benefits:
HBOT might indirectly help manage hypertension by improving overall cardiovascular health, including:
Improved Blood Circulation:
HBOT can enhance blood flow, which is crucial for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs, including the heart.
Enhanced Myocardial Function:
HBOT may improve the heart's ability to pump blood effectively, which can contribute to better blood pressure control.
Promoting Vascular Health:
HBOT can support the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and improve the function of existing blood vessels, which can help regulate blood pressure.
