| description | Objects: Waon-Therapy was invented for the therapy of heart failure by Dr. Tei. The purpose of this study was to confirm the efficacy of Waon therapy and to clarify the role of Waon-therapy in the arterial stiffness monitoring with cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI).
Subjects and methods: Study 1 Subjects were 7 patients with chronic heart failure. They were divided randomly into Waon-therapy group and conservative therapy group. Waon therapy was performed as follows; worming up at 60 for 15 min in a chamber, and then, laying down in supine position with covering warm blanket for 30 min. They took this therapy once a day for 14 days. Study 2. A person, 64 years old man with diabetes mellitus, who is taking hemodialysis therapy. He also was suffering from systemic arteriosclerosis and heart failure. He took Waon therapy for 3 months. CAVI was measured using Vasela1500 (Fukuda Denshi. Co.LTD).
Results: Study 1; Among 7 heart failure patients, Waon therapy group 4 patients showed improved BNP from 1220- 780 pg/ml, whereas conservative group 720–920 pg/ml. CAVI improved in Waon group from 10.5 to 9.3, but in conservative group, CAVI did not change Study 2: 65 year old man taking maintenance hemodialysis were suffering from necrosis of penis because of arteriosclerosis. He took Waon therapy for 3 months. At every week, BNP decreased from 4200, 3400, 2600 to 1560 pg/ml after 3 months. CAVI also decreased 13.4, 13.2 12.3, 11.2, 10.8, 11.2. Penis necrosis was improved completely.
Conclusion: Waon therapy improved heart failure, associating with improvement of CAVI. Improved CAVI which means decreased arterial stiffness, and also decreased after-load, might be involved in improving left ventricular dysfunction. |
