慢性心力衰竭(CHF)一般要安静卧床休息,重症CHF应禁止洗浴。但是作者最近报道,温水浴形成的温热性扩血管作用可明显减轻心脏前、后负荷,改善CHF的心脏血流情况。然而,在温水浴中,静水压却可使心内压轻度上升,所以又进一步研究在无静水压的蒸气浴中的心脏血流动态变化,结果证明蒸气浴与温水浴一样,可改善患者的临床症状,而不使心内压升高。对象具有CHF的特发性扩张型心肌病11例,缺血性心肌病5例,返流性瓣膜病 Chronic heart failure (CHF) generally quiet rest in bed, severe CHF should ban bath. However, the authors recently reported that the warm vasodilator effect formed by warm water bath can significantly reduce the anterior and posterior cardiac load and improve the cardiac blood flow of CHF. However, in a warm water bath, hydrostatic pressure can make a slight increase in intracardiac pressure, so further study of the dynamic changes of cardiac blood flow in a hydrostatic vapor bath, the results show that the same steam bath and warm water bath, Improve the patient’s clinical symptoms, without increasing intracardiac pressure. Eleven cases of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy with CHF, 5 cases of ischemic cardiomyopathy,
