[Effectiveness of magnetotherapy in elderly hypertensive patients aging at different rates]. / Effektivnost' magnitoterapii u bol'nykh arterial'noi gipertonie pozhilogo vozrasta s razlichnymi tempami stareniia.

Effectiveness of general magnetotherapy was studied in 84 patients with essential hypertension and 36 patients with isolated systolic arterial hypertension of old age. It is thought necessary to determine biological age of the cardiovascular system in hypertensive patients over 60 years of age to specify indications and contraindications to physiotherapy.

[The characteristics of the geroprotective action of magnetotherapy in elderly patients with combined cardiovascular pathology]. / Osobennosti geroprotektornogo deistviia magnitoterapii u pozhilykh bol'nykh s sochetannoi serdechno-sosudistoi patologiei.

Central hemodynamics, diastolic and pumping functions of the heart, myocardial reactivity, microcirculation and biological age of cardiovascular system were studied in 66 elderly patients suffering from hypertension and ischemic heart disease. The patients received systemic magnetotherapy which produced a geroprotective effect as shown by improved microcirculation, myocardial reactivity, central hemodynamics reducing biological age of cardiovascular system and inhibiting its ageing.
