EFFECTIVENESS OF BIOFEEDBACK IN A CLOSED LOOP OF HEART RATE VARIABILITY PARAMETERS AND PACED BREATHING IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN REAL CLINICAL PRACTICE

On example of clinical analysis of two comparable in all parameters patients with arterial hypertension application of biofeedback (BFB) in the closed loop of heart rate variability (HRV) and paced breathing was evaluated. Both patients received standard medical therapy according to the guidelines of the Association of Cardiologists of Ukraine, in patient 1 additionally was conducted 10 sessions of BFB in investigated loop. Effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated by comparing the values of systolic, diastolic, pulse blood pressure (SBP, DBP and PD, respectively) and integral indicator of regulatory systems' state - BQI index within 10 days from starting treatment. Supplement of standard pharmacotherapy by biofeedback sessions in closed loop of HRV and paced breathing is significantly better than isolated drug treatment in the control of SBP, DBP and PD due to optimization of regulatory systems' state. Obtained data allow to recommend this technique in clinical practice.
