Abstract: Discontinuation of chemotherapy substituted for a course of
acupuncture and electroacupuncture in 124 patients with coronary heart
disease, essential hypertension and neurocirculatory dystonia resulted in a
positive response of cerebral and peripheral hemodynamics, myocardial
contractility and diastolic function. Myocardial hypertrophy regressed,
exercise tolerance enhanced. Reflex activation of stress-limiting systems
arresting excess adrenergic action on circulation is probably responsible
for these phenomena.
