| Research Abstract |
We investigated homodynamic changes induced by bathing between 16 patients (61.0±10.0 years) with AMI and 19 healthy volunteers (60.6±5.6 years). During 15 minutes bradykinetic bathing, subjects soaked two times at the 4th intercostal level in the bathtub for 3 min at 40℃. And they washed themselves. They were instructed to move slowly. We measured the blood pressure and R-R interval, HR variability, VAS, Borg scale. It was found that it 15 minutes of hot (40℃) bathing using slow movement is a safe and comfortable procedure for AMI patients. Also three patients, PVC whose LVEF was less than 40-49% and had frequent PVC before bathing may have been at risk because of bathing.
