Modern Ideas about the Mechanisms of Intermittent hypoxia – hyperoxia training and the possibility of its use in cardiovascular diseases (literature review)

Intermittent hypoxia – hyperoxia therapy with individually dosed gas levels (ReOxy therapy) is a modification of the long-known method of intermittent normobaric hypoxia training. Currently, ReOxy therapy can be considered as an addition to physical training in programs of cardiological rehabilitation, primary and secondary prevention of a wide range of cardiovascular diseases, as well as an alternative to physical exercises if it is impossible to perform them.This review examines the pathogenetic rationale, differences from traditional intermittent hypoxia training, and clinical prospects for the use of intermittent hypoxia – hyperoxia therapy in cardiovascular diseases.
