human anatomy and physiology, wherein the pulse in each venous limb is read,
then projected into both shoulders, enabling simultaneous reading of both of the arms and legs.
A patient with alternating foci or syncope (temporary faintness) may be instructed to raise both arms at the same time, or to lift both legs at the same time, and to hold them for a time.This is considered good for their heart rate. With practice, most patients will do so on command. It is believed that the pupil dilates in the direction of the pulse and, by extension, that the dilation is responsible for overall increase in blood flow to these regions. This effect has also been suggested to underlie the physical effect of randomised feet crossing. A patient who has complete block or hypotension (low blood pressure) is instructed to "roll" the chest by fluttering the hands and feet together to distribute blood to the four major heart areas. This is intended to dilate the body, though it may not be efficacious, as the dilated heart is believed to have increased blood flow to the brain.
It has been stated that relaxation and centred breathing techniques are better suited to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypotension. As a standard procedure, patients are asked to "scrunch" their shoulders when the arm ultrasound scan begins. The masseter muscle (the pincer muscle) of the jaw is an acupuncture point used to target the middle of the chest. The former KGB Laboratory at Saint Petersburg was noted to have the effects of remote Reiki healing, and research in human neural interfacing was reported from Israel. Through a patient's IVC, magnetic waves are transmitted to a computer system. The EMG results are transmitted to the computer and this computer system transmits an image to the patient's glasses that show the location of the scalene muscles.
The patient has no recollection of anything having been done. Patients believe they feel the thin magnetic lines being transmitted from the computer to their glasses and have seen minor aches and pains disappear. A study found that patients had impaired information retention in memory for the EMG results, though at higher frequencies. It was also found that "even when the patient felt something new in the area on the EMG results, only four out of 48 patients were able to correctly discriminate the location and intensity of the difference." A 2007 survey by Dr. Lindsay Young reported that "one-third of practitioners report improved emotional and physical health in patients treated with EMG stimulation of the Vascular System. Seventeen percent have reported more frequent reporting of sleep apnea, anxiety, depression, and nausea in their practice.
" Epigenetic changes to genes in the heart were found. The ESCAPE database, hosted by the EAU in Paris, has accumulated information on over 200 genes with epigenetic markers. An initial study in breast cancer indicated that after patients undergo cardiac sympathetic denervation, several genes involved in immune regulation were regulated. However, another study found no change in inflammatory biomarkers or expression of proinflammatory genes when cardiac sympathetic denervation was performed. The FDA has not approved cardiac sympathetic denervation for use in the management of chronic coronary artery disease or acute myocardial infarction (myocardial infarction), but the results of a large European study suggested that it may be safe for up to 90 days for patients with myocardial ischemia.
A large US study suggested that ESNC was not useful for more than 2–3 months for patients with myocardial infarction, though the investigators found no harm to patients. An additional analysis of the same dataset suggested that it might be useful in patients with CAD, particularly in those who also had coronary artery disease, which had been demonstrated as a risk factor for an adverse cardiac outcome. In the United States, major cardiac centers commonly use the technique, though some centers have recommended against it in some patients, based on research showing it can induce heart rhythm abnormalities.
An earlier study has found that several implantable cardioverter-defibrillators can interfere with the use of cardiac sympathetic denervation. ESNC has been tested for use as a treatment for depression, and may be useful in certain cases. ESNC has not been used to treat people with heart failure, who have blood flow problems and are thus unlikely to benefit from nerve stimulation. Also, there have been mixed results regarding its usefulness in angina. Researchers have tried using angiographic to determine if cardiac sympathetic denervation is effective. This approach is not recommended for use in patients with known cardiac involvement.
