2004, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :Other mechanisms may be responsible for improved regional wall motion. Through favorable changes in myocardial oxygen supply and demand, HBO improved contraction of hibernating myocardium after myocardial infarction that is indicated in the study conducted by Swift et al.21 In our study, the increase of global left ventricular function is followed by improvement of global systolic function in HBO+ patients compared with the HBO− group. During left ventricular remodeling, there are structural changes in coronary microcirculation followed by decreased capillary density, with enlarged diffusion distances for oxygen and disturbed perfusion of the capillary bed.22
