Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) decreases inflammation, oxygenates the entire body, stimulates the growth of new healthy blood vessels, and releases stem cells, up to 800% more after twenty sessions. Research has shown that HBOT improves left ventricular function and improves cardiac performance. Research also suggests that HBOT after a heart attack may decrease mortality rate by 50% and is associated with a reduction in the volume of damaged muscle, a decreased risk of adverse cardiac events, and a decreased amount of time to have relief from ischemic pain. HBOT has been shown by research to induce neuroplasticity and significantly improve symptoms in those with cognitive impairment after a heart attack, including improvement executive functioning, attention, and memory. Research has also shown that the addition of HBOT can make it possible to increase the 5-year survival rate after a heart attack, from 84.4% to 95.9%.
