Abstract
Three sessions of intravenous He−Ne laser therapy markedly decreased the intensity of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of undiluted blood in most patients with ischemic heart disease. After seven sessions, the chemiluminescence parameters in most patients were similar to those in healthy donors. However, in some patients a 10-session course of laser therapy increased the intensity of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. A positive correlation was established between the parameters of chemiluminescence of undiluted blood and its viscosity as well as activity of plasma neutrophils determined by the Nitro Blue Tetrazolium test.
